Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2025) - BeWhere Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BEW) (OTCQB: BEWFF), a leader in low-power 5G IoT asset tracking, today announced a significant achievement: the successful connection of a BeWhere IoT tracking device in Canada on AST SpaceMobile's (NASDAQ: ASTS) revolutionary direct-to-device satellite network.

The test, conducted in New Brunswick Canada, marks a pivotal moment for global connectivity. A standard, off-the-shelf BeWhere LTE IoT tracking device successfully connected to and transmitted location and sensor data directly through an AST SpaceMobile BlueBird satellite, the largest commercial phase-array ever deployed in low Earth orbit. The signal was then seamlessly routed through Bell's terrestrial network, demonstrating the capability to provide ubiquitous, two-way connectivity for assets anywhere on the planet.

This breakthrough eliminates the need for specialized, expensive satellite terminals, allowing standard, low-power IoT devices to connect directly to a satellite network. This capability is poised to unlock unprecedented value for industries operating in remote environments, including logistics, supply chain, agriculture, and natural resource management.

"This is a game-changer for asset tracking and monitoring," said Owen Moore, CEO of BeWhere Holdings. "For years, a challenge has been the 'connectivity gap'—those vast areas where terrestrial networks don't reach. Our existing and future customers will have true global visibility of their assets without any additional hardware. This successful test with our partners AST SpaceMobile and Bell demonstrates our vision for a seamlessly connected world."

AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network designed to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices.

"Connecting a commercial IoT device is yet another step toward realizing our mission — eliminating connectivity gaps across the globe," said Chris Ivory, Chief Commercial Officer of AST SpaceMobile. "This demonstration, in partnership with technology leaders like BeWhere and Bell, proves the versatility and power of our network capabilities — delivering broadband satellite connectivity for critical mobile voice, video and IoT data, enabling seamless, two-way connectivity for people and assets anywhere.

The test validates the technical collaboration between the three companies. Bell, a strategic partner of AST SpaceMobile and BeWhere, is committed to extending its network coverage from coast to coast to coast.

"Delivering the best networks is a strategic priority for Bell," said Costa Pantazopoulos, VP Product, Bell. "This successful IoT connection is a critical step in enabling a new era of industrial innovation. Space-based cellular broadband opens possibilities for businesses operating in the most geographically challenging regions of the country — including remote environmental monitoring, fleet/transportation tracking, and public safety. Doing so with off-the-shelf IoT devices is a truly transformative technology for Canada."
