Siyata Reports Record Third Quarter Revenue Amid Strong US Demand

Siyata Mobile Inc.

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga The land mobile radio market is getting an overhaul thanks to push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC) technology. After all, PTToC gives first responders, miners, dock workers, security professionals and a whole host of other professionals access to instant communications, wider nationwide coverage and greater cost efficiencies. Not to mention these advanced PTToC systems can easily integrate with legacy technology and are future-proofed for when 5G completely dominates. Those benefits haven’t been lost on Siyata Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: SYTA), a Vancouver, British Columbia, global vendor of PTToC devices and cellular signal booster systems. The company reports it had a strong third quarter with record revenue growth thanks to outsized demand for its rugged devices. What’s more, the company said it is still on track to achieve profitability in the coming quarters. “We continue to see the rapid adoption of our disruptive solutions and, as the displacement of land mobile radio by push-to-talk-over-cellular continues to progress, this should drive meaningful growth,” said CEO Marc Seelenfreund during the company’s earnings call for the quarter. “We stand by our previously stated goal of strong revenue growth with the goal of profitability in the coming quarters.” Shift Underway It’s no wonder Siyata saw triple-digit revenue growth in the third quarter. The market seems to be undergoing a shift away from Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems and toward PTToC technology. The industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 11% from now until 2030, reaching $68.94 billion. Siyata Mobile’s portfolio of in-vehicle and rugged devices enable first responders and enterprise workers to instantly communicate over a nationwide cellular network of choice. Meanwhile, its portfolio of enterprise grade and consumer cellular booster systems enables first responders and enterprise workers to amplify cellular signals in remote areas, inside buildings where signals are weak due to their structures, and within vehicles. Those devices – the SD7 in particular – drove growth for Siyata in the third quarter. The SD7 is a rugged handset that operates with a SIM card on public cellular networks, giving users nationwide coverage. Siyata Mobile says its radios deliver crystal-clear audio quality and since the SD7 is rugged and water resistant, it can work in most environments. For the three months ending in Sept. 30, 2024, Siyata Mobile reported record revenue of $5.9 million, up 218% year-over-year. The company attributed the revenue growth to “booming demand” for its SD7 handsets and accessories. Demand was particularly strong in the U.S. market, which represented 81% of revenue during the quarter. “This performance underscores the significant momentum we are building, especially in the U.S. market, where sales have increased by 55% year-to-date,” says Seelenfreund. “More broadly, demand for our SD7 handsets is increasing across a diversity of vertical markets and use cases. Adoption of our disruptive, ruggedized handsets is accelerating to replace more traditional land mobile radio (LMR).” Dealmaking On Display The third quarter was a busy three-month period for Siyata, in which it inked two deals. First, there was a $2.5 million order which it received for its PTT handsets and Real Time View devices from an existing customer, an international emergency medical services organization. Siyata plans to deliver the order in the first quarter of 2025. Seelenfreund said the expansion of its deal with this first responder organization is a testament to the positive impact its devices are having on customers and the relationships Siyata is cultivating. “Our devices are being proven as rugged, reliable and effective for enhancing communications when deployed by lifesaving EMS customers, thereby leading to follow-on orders,” said Seelenfreund. Then there is Siyata’s deal with T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS). Siyata’s SD7 Ultra series 5G mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) cellular radio handsets will be available on T-Mobile's 5G network, currently the nation's largest. Siyata’s SD7 devices will be available through T-Mobile's Direct Connect platform. Users will also have access to applications Siyata says are designed to improve response times and ensure that emergency services can effectively address critical situations. “We believe that we have a very exciting 5G product portfolio planned to launch in 2025 which will position us as the leading PTT handset provider on a global level,” says Seelenfreund. “We announced recently that T-Mobile is the first wireless carrier that will be launching part of the portfolio and will be releasing details of the innovative devices over the coming months. We are optimistic that more wireless carriers will follow suit.” Siyata is having a moment driven by demand for its rugged devices. With the third quarter in the bag and new deals about to go live, Siyata may be worth keeping an eye on.

Why Cutoshi The Viral Sensation Adopting Satoshi Nakamoto's Teachings Is Trending Globally Alongside BTC And DeFi

Cutoshi

As Cutoshi trends on X for the second time this month, Bitcoin also trends as it hits fresh all-time highs of $98,300. Why Is Cutoshi Trending? On November 20th, Cutoshi’s native token $CUTO hit the number one trending spot on X, with BTC and DeFi. As the coin makes it to the top spot of X for the second time this month. The team has many inspirations and that’s the work and ethics of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi stood for privacy, decentralization and financial autonomy and that’s exactly what Cutoshi is giving to people. So What Will DeFi Look Like With Cutoshi? Cutoshi’s plan is to leverage the mass appeal of memes to bring new people into the fold of crypto investing, trading, DeFi and the Cutoshi ecosystem. The next step is to make DeFi fun and easy to use. Currently, over 2000 community members are participating in token farming, which will result in airdrops, a big part of DeFi over the last few years. After that comes the Cutoshi DEX, currently in development. This will be easy to use, especially due to its cross-chain capabilities. This is important since bridging across blockchains can be daunting and risky, even for those competent in DeFi. The DEX will also offer peer-to-peer trading for true anonymity, another important part of the ethos of Nakamoto. Other features will include the possibility to stake and provide liquidity, essential features for decentralized exchanges, which rely on automated market makers and liquidity pools rather than CEXs order book styles. What Good Is All Of That If People Don’t Understand How To Get Involved? That is the question that prompted the Cutoshi team to start creating an education platform. Keeping with the meme style of Cutoshi, this will be fun and easy to learn with, to encourage people to get involved whatever their experience or skill levels. Early community members are in line to be eligible for a limited edition set of NFTs that will be beautiful but also functional, providing DeFi-based utility within the ecosystem. What’s Next For The Project? In the short term, Cutoshi has its sights set on $1 million in funds raised in the presale. With approximately $65k to go before this milestone is hit. Cutoshi will continue to raise funds and build the DeFi ecosystem while the price increases throughout the presale. They will continue their marketing efforts as the project and community build hype. The project is then set to launch on a DEX and later on a tier 1 CEX. If previous meme coins that have DeFi functionalities (e.g. SHIB) are anything to go by, this could be a presale that brings massive gains. For more information on the Cutoshi (CUTO) Presale: https://cutoshi.com/ Join and become a community member: https://twitter.com/CutoshiToken https://t.me/cutoshi Welcome to Cutoshi, the revolutionary meme coin, DeFi hub and educational platform inspired by the Lucky Cat and Satoshi Nakamoto’s teachings. Traditionally, people put the Lucky Cat in their homes and businesses to maximize its lucky powers and bring them good fortune and wealth. Now Cutoshi the Lucky Cat is on the blockchain bringing luck, prosperity, and wealth to your digital assets. Cutoshi is creating a path to financial freedom, for those who choose to honor the power of the Lucky Cat. Supporting the principles of freedom, privacy, anonymity, and monetary empowerment for the masses. Cutoshi aims to bring the benefits of blockchain to everyone. The regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies is evolving and varies across jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations in your country or region before engaging with Custoshi.

Worksport Ltd.’s (NASDAQ: WKSP) 581% Q3 Growth Highlights Potential in $2.56 Billion U.S. Truck Bed Accessories Market

WKSP

The U.S. truck bed accessories market is on a fast track to growth, estimated at USD 2.56 billion in 2024 and projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2030. This surge is fueled by the growing popularity of pickup trucks, with increasing consumer demand for accessories that boost both functionality and customization. Bedliners, tonneau covers, and storage solutions are among the top choices for truck owners looking to enhance vehicle utility. The expanding role of pickups in both work and recreational settings further drives the demand for these essential truck accessories. At the same time, the clean energy sector is experiencing rapid growth, with the solar generator market expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% from 2024 to 2032. As consumers increasingly embrace renewable energy solutions, these trends underscore a broader shift toward sustainable, high-performance products. Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) is uniquely positioned to benefit from both of these growth trends. The company is making significant strides in the truck accessory market with its innovative products while also tapping into the rising demand for clean energy solutions. Known for its commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology, Worksport is preparing for a major expansion in 2025 and beyond, with the launch of several highly anticipated products. A Diverse and Expanding Product Line Worksport designs, develops, manufactures, and holds intellectual property for a variety of products, including tonneau covers, solar integrations, portable energy storage systems, and heat-pump technology. These products cater primarily to the pickup truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors. The company’s flagship product line includes its hybrid tonneau covers, with a particular emphasis on its upcoming AL4 Premium Tonneau Cover, which is set for release in December 2024. The AL4 Premium Tonneau Cover is expected to make a substantial impact on Worksport’s revenue in 2025 and beyond. This product targets the largest segment of the tonneau cover market, and is designed to meet the high demand for hard covers that provide durability and functionality. The AL4 boasts several advantages, including a flip-up design for 95% use of the truck bed, a robust diamond SHIELD ceramic finish, and a lightweight yet strong construction. With an anticipated retail price of $1,099, the AL4 cover is expected to position Worksport competitively in the market, offering superior value at an attractive price point. Steven Rossi, CEO of Worksport, is optimistic about the impact of the AL4: “The upcoming launch of our AL4 Premium Tonneau Cover marks a significant milestone for Worksport. We are entering a high-demand segment of the market with a superior product that offers both quality and value. Combined with our aggressive brand expansion strategy, we anticipate this will drive substantial revenue growth in 2025 and beyond.” Revenue Growth and Financial Stability One of the key indicators of Worksport’s potential lies in its impressive financial performance. In Q3 2024, the company reported an eye-popping 581% year-over-year revenue growth, reaching $3.12 million compared to just $458,433 in Q3 2023. This surge follows a 275% increase from Q1 to Q2 2024, demonstrating the strength of Worksport’s strategic investments and growth initiatives. With plans to exceed its original 2024 revenue guidance of $6-8 million, Worksport is primed to hit new financial milestones in the coming years. Looking ahead to 2025, Worksport is targeting a revenue range of $25 million to $34.5 million, driven by the successful launches of new products like the AL4 tonneau cover, the SOLIS solar cover, and the COR portable energy storage system. “Our Q3 results are just the beginning,” says Rossi. “With our robust product pipeline and aggressive market penetration strategies, we are on a trajectory for sustained growth. Our goal is to become cash flow positive in 2025, with a keen focus on EPS and EBITA.” A Bright Future for Clean Portable Energy While tonneau covers remain a key focus, Worksport’s commitment to clean energy solutions offers even greater long-term growth potential. The company’s SOLIS solar tonneau cover and COR portable energy system are set to revolutionize the portable power market, which is expected to exceed $4 billion in the coming years. The SOLIS solar cover will soon feature a 60V output, which enhances compatibility with various portable energy systems, making it more accessible to a broader audience. This upgrade is anticipated to reduce consumer costs by up to $400, significantly expanding the market for this innovative product. “With this change, we expect to drastically enhance compatibility and materially reduce projected customer costs, so we can make our upcoming sustainable energy solutions more affordable to a wider audience,” said Rossi. This development will not only increase Worksport’s competitive position but also solidify its role as a leader in clean energy solutions. Meanwhile, the COR portable energy system, currently in the alpha release phase, promises to provide a compact, efficient, and reliable off-grid power solution, further enhancing Worksport’s position in the renewable energy space. The company has already begun collecting feedback from real-world testing, with preorders expected to open soon. Together, the SOLIS and COR products will form an integrated nano-grid system that can generate clean, portable energy for recreational and professional use alike. A Rapidly Expanding B2B Sales Channel In addition to its consumer-facing products, Worksport has experienced remarkable success in its B2B sales. In the last four months, Worksport achieved over 200% growth in dealer account sales, thanks in part to its highly competitive pricing and superior product quality. Worksport’s growing network of over 17,000 dealers in the U.S. and Canada signals an immense market opportunity. Furthermore, Worksport has already begun shipping retail display units, which have generated a 31% conversion rate, with more expected in the future. “The remarkable trend we have seen in our B2B segment is a testament to the market's appetite for high-quality, competitively priced tonneau covers,” said Rossi. The company’s rapid B2B growth, combined with strong demand for its products, positions Worksport for a banner year in 2025. By expanding its dealer network and securing preorders for the AL4, Worksport is set to capitalize on the increasing interest in its products and expand its footprint across North America. Conclusion: A Stock to Watch Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) stands at a crucial inflection point. With its strong growth trajectory, cutting-edge products, and commitment to innovation, the company has significant potential for expansion and profitability in the coming years. Whether it’s the launch of the AL4 Premium Tonneau Cover or the release of the SOLIS solar cover and COR portable energy system, Worksport is positioning itself to capitalize on high-demand markets while diversifying into clean energy solutions.

LogicMark Offers Safety Technology for Free To American Veterans Nationwide

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Falls are the leading cause of injury and death among aging adults in America, including our nation’s 8.1 million veterans over 65. Due to chronic conditions and physical disabilities, they are actually more susceptible to falls than their non-veteran counterparts. With more than one in five veterans living alone in America, many are in unsafe situations. Staying strong and healthy is the best way to prevent falls, but there are many other ways to decrease the risk. Making simple updates in the home, such as removing throw rugs, improving lighting, installing grab bars, using bed rails, widening hallways and doorways and adding ramps outside, can enhance safety and prevent common accidents. But even so, a fall may still occur. Unfortunately, constant physical monitoring and surveillance aren’t possible for a lot of people, and how quickly help comes could mean the difference between a non-fatal or fatal injury. That’s where LogicMark Inc. (NASDAQ: LGMK), a leading provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS), health communication devices and IoT technologies, is making a significant impact for those in these situations. Instead of relying on in-person monitoring, the company uses advanced technology to offer a comprehensive suite of products aimed at protecting users from falls both at home and on the go. Confidence And Independence In A Compact Device LogicMark’s Freedom Alert Mini is a compact 4G LTE device that allows users to call for help with just the push of a button, ensuring help is always within reach wherever there is cellular service. The Freedom Alert Mini is equipped with LogicMark’s patented fall detection technology which uses accelerometer sensors that measure the user’s speed and orientation to detect a fall. When a fall has been detected, the device sends an alert to a 24/7 monitoring center, a loved one or 911. This can be life-saving if a user falls and is unable to dial an emergency contact due to an injury, loss of consciousness, or disorientation. In addition to its fall detection capabilities, the device features GPS location services that can pinpoint the exact location of a fall and alert authorities and caregivers. It also includes geofencing capabilities, allowing caregivers to establish a virtual boundary for their loved ones. If the device user moves beyond this designated area, caregivers receive an immediate alert. Guardian Alert 911 Plus is an additional on-the-go device in LogicMark’s product line. It is designed to enhance safety both inside and outside the home and features 4G LTE technology that enables users to connect directly to 911 with a single button press. Additionally, the device includes a two-way communication feature, allowing users to speak directly with 911 operators during emergencies. This functionality provides users with the confidence to live independently, knowing help is just a call away. Veterans Can Feel Safe At Home 70% of falls occur indoors. For veterans who spend considerable time at home, LogicMark’s Freedom Alert and Guardian Alert 911 offer reliable solutions to enhance safety and peace of mind. Both wearable medical devices use the customer’s landline to connect to emergency services. The Freedom Alert allows users to quickly connect with friends, family or 911 in an emergency. With the push of a button, the device can call up to four pre-programmed contacts or dial 911 directly. Emergency responders can pinpoint the location of a LogicMark device within a 600-foot radius of the base unit. The Guardian 911 connects directly to emergency services with a single button press. Ensuring users can easily call for help or notify a caregiver even during stressful or confusing moments. Both devices feature long-lasting batteries that last at least one month. These devices give aging adults freedom and confidence, knowing help is a push of a button away. For caregivers and loved ones, the devices offer an added layer of monitoring and peace of mind when they cannot be present. Meanwhile, first responders receive crucial information that enables them to reach the scene quickly and efficiently. Globally, the fall detection systems market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from now through 2030. Driving that growth is the demand for solutions to ensure the aging adult population's safety and independence with devices that can aid in home health care. LogicMark’s products check off both boxes. Aging adults over 65 make up half the nation’s veterans, and just like their non-veteran counterparts, they are at risk of falls. As the population ages, demand for devices that detect falls is projected to grow. LogicMark aims to capitalize on this growth, positioning its devices – from the Freedom Alert Mini to the Guardian Alert 911 Plus – as potential leaders in the market.

About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services, boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of November 2024, it has over 271 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 8.9 billion total transactions, and over $18 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
