The $1.5T Tech Upgrade Our Cities Have Been Waiting For

There’s a $1.5 trillion market opportunity in building more connected cities, and one company is helping build the foundation for it all. 

The “Internet of Things” (IoT) is the vast network of sensors and devices enabling buildings, infrastructure, and entire cities to collect and use real-time data. It’s what makes AI smarter, operations more efficient, and environments healthier and safer. But traditional Wi-Fi is too costly and power-hungry to deploy IoT at scale. 

That’s why IotaComm’s cutting-edge IoT platform, Delphi360, is so important. It has the potential to reduce energy usage by up to 30% and help save up to 25% on maintenance costs. 

Companies like Crayola are already adopting it.

Now, for a limited time, IotaComm is giving early investors a rare opportunity to invest in their growth.

 With the $1.5T+ IoT and AI market still in its early innings, there’s no telling how far IotaComm can grow. 

Learn how you can become an IotaComm shareholder and get 25% bonus shares.
