Siyata Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: SYTA/SYTAW) (“Siyata” or the “Company”), a global vendor of Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) devices and cellular signal booster systems, is pleased to announce that United States Cellular Corporation (NYSE: USM, or “UScellular™”), the fourth largest wireless carrier in the U.S. with 4.8 million retail connections in 21 states, will launch Siyata’s rugged SD7 device onto their network. We expect UScellular™ will commence selling the SD7 to their broad enterprise customer base beginning this quarter. The SD7 was developed to disrupt and replace the multi-billion-dollar Land Mobile Radio (LMR) industry.

“The SD7 is a game changer not only for the industry but for Siyata,” said Siyata CEO Marc Seelenfreund. “The SD7 is the perfect upgrade from land mobile radio devices, which often have limited coverage, restricted functionality and high start up costs. Our new SD7 solves all those problems, delivering a far superior solution to a multi-billion industry.”

Seelenfreund continued, “We are thrilled to be working with the fourth largest, full-service wireless carrier in the United States and our third major U.S. carrier launch after AT&T/FirstNet and Verizon.” This relationship will grow our network compatibility especially in the midwestern United States and in the north-west parts of the country, and allow us to reach more first responders and enterprise personnel with a reliable device that can operate extremely well in tough working environments.”

The SD7 brings communications into the 21st century and enables our first responder and enterprise clients a simple, easy-to-use rugged Android based Push-To-Talk (PTT) device with excellent sound quality that operates over the high bandwidth 4G LTE network, providing consistent connectivity across the nation. Its IP68 rating, resistance to water and dust, drop protection, and robust battery make it well suited for use in harsh environments. Importantly, there is no need to invest in infrastructure such as radio towers or repeaters.

The SD7 will allow first responders as well as secondary support personnel to quickly connect and coordinate on unified public cellular networks such as UScellular™ in North America.
