"Track and Trace" Mobile Solution successfully deployed

on behalf of The Government of The Bahamas

System currently protecting and controlling over 3,000 inhabitants with further roll-out expected

Mobile Tornado (AIM: MBT), the leading provider of instant communication mobile solutions to the enterprise market, is pleased to announce that Hubbcat, the Company's partner in the Caribbean, has successfully deployed a COVID quarantine track and trace program, utilising the Company's PTT solution, with the Government of The Bahamas. The program has been designed to protect both residents and critical front-line responders whilst providing safety and security assurance to inbound travellers.

The App-based quarantine system can be either downloaded directly to cellular devices or "pushed" to previously identified high-risk or vulnerable patients remotely. The application utilises the "talk/locate/alert" functionality and allows the Company's MDC2000 Dispatch Console to "geo-fence" around each required location and for alarms to be triggered should an individual breach protocol or leave their designated place of isolation.

The solution enables monitoring teams to communicate instantly with quarantined individuals in order to monitor symptoms and care, with the additional benefit of knowing their exact location at any time via GPS technology. This technology eliminates the need for physical policing of quarantined individuals, saving Governments valuable resources.

The system will operate for an initial period through to at least February 2021 and is currently protecting and controlling over 3,000 inhabitants. Planning is in place to roll this out further as restrictions are lifted, and the tourism market is re-launched, as the Government of Bahamas has made it mandatory for inbound travellers to download the application and adhere to quarantine protocols during their stay. Mobile Tornado will receive a license fee for each user deployed on the system.

Commenting on the deployment, Mobile Tornado's Chief Executive, Avi Tooba, said:

"The development of this application illustrates perfectly the power and functionality of our instant communication platform. The system facilitates instant communication with quarantined individuals, with the added benefit of knowing the exact location of the individual through the locate and geo-fencing functionality within our Dispatch console. The solution is proving extremely cost effective as it eliminates the need for physical policing and regular visits to quarantined individuals. The system is rapid to deploy, highly scalable and has been readily adopted by the quarantined population, patients and tourists. We are working closely with Hubbcat, and other partners, to explore similar requirements in other territories."
