Patriot One Initiates Pacific Rim Sales with Aotea Security of New Zealand

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Jun 29, 2017) - Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PAT) (OTCQB: PTOTF) (FRANKFURT: 0PL) ("Patriot One" or the "Company"), developer of the award-winning PATSCAN CMR™ concealed weapons detection system, announced today it has entered into a reseller agreement with accredited national systems integration experts, Aotea Security (NZ) Ltd. of Dunedin, New Zealand.

Aotea Security is the security specialist arm of the Aotea Group of companies which provides New Zealand's only truly nationwide solution for electronic security, electrical, fire, and communications services. A pragmatic but truly strategic approach to growth and diversification has seen the group grow to enjoy a genuine nationwide footprint of 19 branches and in excess of 850 staff. Today's announcement moves the bar for their security services nationwide with the addition of the PATSCAN CMR concealed weapons detection system as part of their inventory of dedicated solutions.

Patriot One CEO, Martin Cronin notes, "We are very pleased to be working with the team at Aotea. This agreement ushers in a whole new region for our sales efforts and we are delighted that our first partner in the area has the infrastructure and experience to service the entire country of New Zealand. We are moving quickly to finalize matters and look forward to shipping product as soon as possible. We recognize our partnership represents a significant investment in our technology by Aotea, and we are excited by the news that they already have meaningful customer interest. With today's news, our reseller network gets that much nearer to global scale, and moves us considerably closer to our projected year-one sales and revenue goals."

In what has turned out to be a milestone event for Patriot One, initial conversations with Aotea Security began in March when Patriot One was awarded the Anti-Terrorism--Force Protection category of the Security Industry Association's New Product Showcase in Las Vegas. Subsequent to that event, ongoing and in-depth conversations, combined with increased interest and demand as a result of recent global events rapidly led to today's agreement.
