VSBLTY & RADARAPP DEPLOY WORLD’S FIRST WIFI6-BASED SURVEILLANCE NETWORK IN MEXICO CITY
Working with Intel, Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. & Sky Packets, Intelligent Cameras Deployed to Provide Security, Crime Prevention in Benito JuarezPhiladelphia, PA, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt 5VS) (OTC: VSBGF) (“VSBLTY”), a leading software provider of security and retail analytics technology, and RADARApp, a Smart City Solutions provider, today jointly announced deployment of the world’s first WiFi6-based surveillance network utilizing intelligent cameras in Benito Juarez, a borough of Mexico City. Working with Intel, Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. and Sky Packets, intelligent cameras are being installed in public spaces to provide detailed automated analytics to local law enforcement. Intel is America’s leading multinational technology company. Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. provides best-in-class ODM/OEM solutions for input digital imaging devices. Sky Packets is a prominent New York City-based developer of WiFi Mesh networks and Smart City applications. The network, designed through a cooperative effort with Intel, provides information in real time that includes car measurement and classification, pedestrian measurement including bicycle classification, traffic measurement, dwell time measurement and immediate license plate recognition. The intelligence inference logic is running on the Ability camera and, in some cases, on both local compute and the Ability camera. The infrastructure program includes outdoor mounted smart cameras, high intensity lighting, motion sensors and audible alarms. The intelligent cameras also provide real time video analytics for crowd behavior and alerting systems that enable direct local uniformed police response as appropriate. In addition to performing critical law enforcement and real time crime prevention functions to help keep residents safe, the data collected will enable cities to optimize vehicle traffic and pedestrian design. Hailed as a “Modern Mayor,” Santiago Taboada Cortina, is the chief executive of Benito Juarez. He said he searched unsuccessfully for the ideal security solutions for his government’s new policies. He recognized that a higher level of security can be achieved when enforcement and technology work together. He found that the new VSBLTY-RADARApp solution met that goal. The Mayor said, “Migrating to a fully digital infrastructure in Benito Juarez has provided immense possibilities. Thanks to world-renowned companies like Intel and VSBLTY, the RADARApp network is providing even more valuable and usable data than we imagined, which is helping mitigate crime. We have evolved from a reactionary policy to crime to a new, more proactive and real time preventative security strategy. The population of Benito Juarez in Mexico City that I represent is now safer and more secure.” In announcing the deployment, VSBLTY CEO Jay Hutton said, “We are privileged to work with these cutting edge partners to create a highly scalable network running on WiFi network infrastructure and conducting real time Smart City analytics on lightweight cameras and local edge compute. We are confident that safety will be significantly improved as a result of this deployment. It will set the standard for collaborative security where citizens, law enforcement and technology work together to achieve a higher level of security.” Rodrigo Calderon, RADARApp CEO, said that the deployment is providing Benito Juarez with high performance and low-cost surveillance connectivity. “We are providing a situational awareness dashboard with comprehensive alerting functionality, making instant analysis available to residents and law enforcement on a phone application. This neighborhood monitoring deployment creates a new standard and will change how security is addressed across the world,” Calderon stated.

VSBLTY, GRUPO MODELO & RETAILIGENT FORMALIZE AGREEMENT TO JOINTLY CREATE INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL IN-STORE MEDIA NETWORK
Network to Provide Real Time Customer Analytics, Security & Sensor Integration in Up to 50,000 Modelorama Stores & Independent Neighborhood Bodegas in Latin AmericaPhiladelphia, PA, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt: 5VS) (OTC: VSBGF) (“VSBLTY”), a leading software provider of security and retail analytics technology, along with Mexico’s Grupo Modelo (“Modelo”) (part of the AB InBev family of companies) and Retailigent Media have formalized an agreement (the “Agreement”) to enter into a joint venture by the end of Q2 to install and manage an international in-store media network of up to 50,000 Modelorama stores and independent neighborhood bodegasin Mexico and across Latin America by the end of 2024, it was announced today. Active deploymentis already underway in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador with 5000 locations to be installed by the end of 2021. In addition to being an international advertising network, it will provide real-time security for store owners, powered by artificial intelligence, as well as integration of store traffic and customer demographics with sales and critical operations-related data to help stores optimize their business. VSBLTY Co-founder & CEO Jay Hutton said, “The deployments are already underway in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador and we have started contracting media time to consumer-packaged goods brands to advertise to Latin American shoppers right at point-of-sale where buying decisions are made. VSBLTY will be supplying its proprietary software for analytics, security, and visual display,” Hutton said. “The three firms will be equal partners in the joint venture. VSBLTY will earn revenue from the joint venture in two ways. First, and more modestly, from the licensing fees to VSBLTY for the proprietary software that will be leveraged by the joint venture, and second, and most significantly, VSBLTY will share in one-third of the annual operating profits from advertising revenue, modeled to be greater than $200MM USD in total to the joint venture over the first five years,” he concluded. AB InBev is the world’s largest brewer with a diverse portfolio of more than 500 brands, including iconic global beers Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois. Part of AB InBev, Grupo Modelo is the leader in the production, distribution, and sale of beer in Mexico and owns and operates Modelorama, Mexico’s second largest convenience store chain. Pedro Garavito, Vice President of Technology & Transformation, Middle Americas, said, “By leveraging technology and analytics we can play a pivotal role in the communities we serve by improving the safety and quality of the shopping experience for the millions of store owners with whom we do business every day. Not only can the various solutions around Internet of Things (IoT) offer real time access to point-of-sale systems to allow store owners to dynamically optimize their business, but we can also incorporate security, consumer analytics and display advertising under the same platform. At the same time, we will be enabling local store owners and operators to remain competitive as retail consolidates in most Latin American markets. The innovation and agility provided by VSBLTY and Retailigent Media, when coupled with our reach, will allow us to have a meaningful and positive impact on the retail industry in Central and South America.” Thiago Porto, VP of Transformation and People, Middle Americas, said, “This exciting plan of action—with a target of a 50,000-store deployment by 2024— will enable traditional neighborhood stores, the most important channel for consumer products in Latin America, to keep pace as the retail industry goes through monumental digital transformation.” Retailigent Media, with offices in Mexico and five other Latin American countries, is the leading company in Mexico for smart retail solutions, analytics, and smart displays. Retailigent provides advertising and marketing insights to some of the world’s leading brands, including P&G, Coca-Cola, Diageo, and Telefonica. “We have a long-standing working relationship with VSBLTY and we are partnering with RADAR App to support in-store security in each of the stores we plan to develop throughout Latin America. Radar App is the first collaborative security solution in the world that is already being utilized in Mexico City counties. Now we will be working together to help Grupo Modelo create a new revenue stream for their stores, improve security, and become an attractive media channel as well,” according to Rodrigo Velasco, Retailigent Media CEO & Co-founder. In connection with entering into the Agreement, VSBLTY has agreed to issue to Modelo 15,500,000 common share purchase warrants of VSBLTY (the “Warrants”).
