About Intelliconn Communication Solutions Inc.

Intelliconn is a Saskatoon-based company that provides wireless communication and remote monitoring and control solutions for rural areas. The company has two key technologies that will have a major impact in rural areas.

The first technology, a next generation of ultra-long-range Wi-Fi products that extend Wi-Fi out up to several kilometers, provides an economic solution that allows rural-based individuals and businesses to have significantly better Internet access. With Internet access becoming increasingly important for everything from communication to security, to management, to entertainment, the ability to have adequate, uninterrupted access is crucial. In most rural areas, this is not currently the case.

Intelliconn owns certain global distribution rights for the Wi-Fi technology in rural areas.

The second key technology, an automated grain sampling and tracking system, solves an industry-wide problem that is costing grain producers and shippers billions of dollars per year. The system provides a comprehensive solution for acquiring, splitting, storing and tracking grain samples, to ensure samples are representative of the grain being sampled. An additional benefit of the product is that the related grain quality and quantity data collected will allow producers to make more informed decisions regarding selling and planting.

In addition to the Wi-Fi products, Intelliconn sells a broad range of IoT (Internet of Things) products for remotely monitoring and controlling, the common denominator for which is, a Wi-Fi-based Internet connection. Products like cameras, bin and tank monitors, thermostats, smoke detectors, AC switches and outlets and locks are crucial to the security and management of rural properties and operations.

Intelliconn–s primary focus is on the agriculture sector in North America and Australia. Producers and agri-businesses want to remotely monitor and control mobile and stationary assets, both in the yard and in the field. Intelliconn–s remote monitoring and control products, when combined with the extended range Wi-Fi, allow you to monitor and interact with your assets from almost anywhere.

Intelliconn is located at Innovation Place in Saskatoon and is owned by a number of Saskatchewan and Alberta shareholders, including two public companies. It was formed to commercialize several technologies, with applications primarily in rural areas and has distribution throughout North America and Australia. Based on the Company–s most recent business plan the Company expects projected for sales to exceed more than $105 million five years after the closing of the proposed transaction.

The Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that by 2050 the world will require 70% more food. The Tech Investing Report states that US investment in agriculture technology doubled from $2.36 billion in 2014 to $4.6 billion in 2015.

As crop production returns are at risk due to increased production costs and climate fluctuations, technology is assisting farmers to minimize those risks. Intelliconn, through its existing product line and patents pending, plans to be a leader in the agricultural technology sector. Based on the Company–s most recent business plan the Company expects projected sales to grow to $105 million within five years.
