Bsquare DataV Enters 2017 with Strong Momentum

BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bsquare (NASDAQ: BSQR) today announced that it is entering 2017 with its flagship Internet of Things (IoT) software offering, DataV™, experiencing strong momentum and enjoying positive customer feedback. Specifically:

1. DataV is now fully deployed and operationalized at its launch customer, a Fortune 500 transportation concern with global operations. In a deployment initially valued at $4.3 million, DataV is providing this customer with the ability to more rapidly and accurately diagnose and repair faults using historical and real-time data streaming from assets in operation. Bsquare anticipates expansion into other global brands operated by this customer in 2017.
2. During the fourth quarter, DataV secured a major new win in the smart vending space with a global provider of candy, food, and beverages. The initial deployment is in the Netherlands, Italy and Austria, with expansion into 5-7 additional markets anticipated in 2017.
3. As announced earlier in the fourth quarter, Bsquare DataV was selected by a global provider of smart energy meters. This deployment, valued at $1.9 million in the first year with a $2.8 million optional 4-year extension, treats software applications as "things" that can be dynamically downloaded to tens of millions of meters.
4. Bsquare was recently granted "IoT Competency" status by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This status, given to a small subset of AWS Partner Network (APN) members, recognizes the innovative work Bsquare has performed using DataV in conjunction with AWS IoT in live deployments.
5. During 2016, Bsquare won multiple awards, both for DataV and for tech culture, that highlight the innovative nature of DataV and the unique work environment at Bsquare.

Bsquare DataV is a software solution built specifically to address key industrial IoT use cases. These use cases include predictive failure, adaptive diagnostics, IoT device management, condition-based maintenance, asset optimization and asset utilization. With a hybrid IoT platform, DataV is able to operate within the customer's own data centers, with cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings, or in conjunction with IoT platform services offered by AWS and Microsoft Azure.
