MONTVALE, N.J., Feb. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MICT, Inc. (Nasdaq: MICT), (the "Company"), announced today that its majority-owned subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., (“Micronet”) has secured a significant follow-on purchase order of 5,000 SmartCam units, valued at approximately $1.5 million, from one of the world’s largest telematics service providers. The order follows a pilot trial and an initial 1,000-unit order for Micronet’s highly innovative video telematics SmartCam product, which integrates advanced software and artificial-intelligence functionality to serve one of the fastest growing segment of the global telematics market.
The customer, which is based in North America, is estimated to have several hundred thousand vehicles in its network and, is currently expanding into the provision of video telematics services through the use of Micronet’s SmartCam. This deal is MICT’s largest order of its SmartCam product since launch in August 2020 and is expected to lead to significant volumes of additional orders in the coming months.
“This first and substantial follow-on order, so soon after the launch and pilot of the innovative SmartCam product, underlines its compelling attributes and the significant potential scope of market demand. Today’s important milestone also justifies the investment we have made in Micronet to date. The strong relationship with this telematics provider, as well as with others currently being negotiated, has the potential to provide exponential growth in the market as transportation companies recognize the value and utility of the SmartCam systems. In the meantime, Micronet continues to execute on its strategic plans to gain market share in the coming quarters and will share this progress with shareholders as progress is made,” stated Darren Mercer, CEO of MICT.
