Wireless Smart Cities®

Particularly of note is the development of the Wireless Smart Cities® business, GOWEX’s flagship product that has transformed rapidly in a short space of time; going from a supply-driven product to one in great demand, especially among key cities that want to incorporate smart services quickly and effectively.

Thanks to this, the generation of recurring revenue from users, councils, advertisers, operators, associations, etc. has led to significant growth in turnover in the last year.
