Route1 expects sales in the first ninety days of 100-250 users and additional further growth on a monthly basis similar to the Company's experience with the US Department of the Navy.

The USMC will be leveraging the DEFIMNET platform hosted by the DoD Joint Service Provider (JSP). In February 2017, in accordance with the DoD RMF, an Authority to Operate was issued for Route1's MobiKEY technology, including the DEFIMNET hosted by JSP.
