     140 countries, including 10,000 maritime vessels, 8,000 land sites

Harvest Technology Group Limited (ASX: HTG) a global leader in network

As part of the agreement between the two companies, Harvest's ultra-low 
bandwidth Network Optimised Livestreaming solutions will be integrated with 
Speedcast's SmartView solution. Harvest's ground-breaking Livestreaming 
solutions can securely stream high-definition, real-time voice, video, and data 
over ultra-low bandwidth from anywhere in the world, where connectivity is 
often constrained or absent.

"Our partnership with Harvest aligns with our vision to continually innovate 
for our customers' success," said Jeffrey Irwin, Vice President, Product 
Management at Speedcast. "Adding Harvest's industry-leading, remote video 
streaming solutions to our portfolio enables remote sites to deliver real-time 
visibility back to decision-makers anywhere in the world, enhancing operational 
efficiencies, strengthening worker safety, and driving cost savings." 

The agreement between the two companies will extend Harvest's sales 
capabilities on a global scale. Speedcast's technology and applications 
portfolio currently has more than 3,200 customers in 140 countries, serving 
over 10,000 maritime vessels and more than 8,000 terrestrial sites.

The benefits for Speedcast customers using the Harvest solution include 
increased operational efficiencies from faster decision-making in the field, 
back at base, in the office or at home.

"Harvest's Network Optimised Livestreaming solutions ensure necessary 
connectivity to maintain and repair equipment, monitor networks, and access 
remote systems from operations centres rather than deploying more people in 
field or on site," said Paul Guilfoyle, Harvest Technology Group, Group Chief 
Executive Officer. 

Employee safety is a priority for organisations with remote workforces. 
High-definition, real-time voice, video, and data delivered via Network 
Optimised Livestreaming solutions ensures employee safety, ranging from 
reducing the need for workers to be in high-risk environments, to always-on 
safety systems, and telehealth services for unexpected illness or injury 
management. 

"Almost half of the globe still doesn't have access to high-speed internet and 
more than 30% are without 4G coverage, so we are excited to work with Speedcast 
to enable their customers anywhere in the world to stay connected to operations 
and personnel while using a fraction of their existing bandwidth resources," 
continued Guilfoyle. "The combination of our ultra-low bandwidth technology and 
Speedcast's impressive network will bolster its global network platform 
providing fully connected systems that transform remote operations."
