MONTREAL, Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Siyata Mobile Inc. (the "Company" or "Siyata") (TSX-V:SIM / OTCQX:SYATF) is pleased to announce that U.S Tier 1 Carrier network approval is nearing completion and has initiated trials with multiple end-use large-scale potential customers in various industry verticals. As a result, the Company expects initial purchase orders from these end use customers through the U.S Tier 1 carrier in Q1.

Marc Seelenfreund, CEO and Chairman of Siyata Mobile, commented, “There is a very large unmet need in the market in which we were able to identify early and are very pleased to be bringing the world’s first 4G/LTE smartphone in the U.S through Tier 1 carriers to meet these needs of commercial fleets and vehicles and first responders. The upgrade towards Push-to-Talk over Cellular networks is inevitable for enterprises due to cost savings and carrier-grade nationwide coverage while removing the need for multiple single purpose hardware, and increasing worker and public safety. We look forward to bringing our innovative and highly efficient technology to the market with U.S carriers in Q1 and beyond.”

Details on the Tier 1 carriers launching the Uniden® UV350 will be made available upon commercial launch of the device in addition to the UV350 being available at Ingram Micro and at CNM Wireless.

According to the United States Department of Transportation, in 2016 there were  9.7 million commercial  trucks and  3.5 million first responder vehicles  in the United States.
