The
SYn
Tonic Brief (An overview of the company for fresh eyes)
Sponsored Data is only beginning to come about due to technologies not being able to deliver in the past
Syntonic and their technolgy suite is enabling Telcos to draw back some of the revenue they have been missing out on during their stellar growth decades, which is eroding with declining ARPU and no more natural resources at their disposal
Happy to watch Syntonic keep licensing their complete, cross carrier, carrier grade suite of technologies to telcos worldwide, ensuring we are the standard that everyone aspires to be like in the sponsored data realm
A compelling quarter and a half left of 2018 coming up
An inflection point reached
Solid news flow is upon us as the years of hard work we haven't got to fully see are about to come to fruition
Revenue being generated
A real company is being created
SYT Team
A well formed group of experienced professionals with vast industry knowledge in the telco/mobile space
Add into the mix our co-founders and CEO (a forward thinking particle physicist) and our CTO/President who is a proven master of architecting large scale multi platforms, and you have got yourself a recipe for a pretty tasty dish
The latest board members have taken
1.3 million shares a year for the next 3 years in lieu of cash (important point this one)
And our advisor took exercisable options
Incentive plus to perform....yep
Here are what some of the seasoned professional members of SYT and a little of what they have to say about being apart of Syntonic
Added to Syntonic’s executive team is Mr. Randy Smith, a leader and pioneer in digital media for nearly twenty years, including executive positions at DTS, Microsoft, and Xing Technologies. Mr. Smith will be leading corporate and business development, allowing the Company to rapidly prospect and close business opportunities.
"The Syntonic team has successfully established its reputation as a worldwide leader in sponsored content services and mobile BYOD split billing," said Randy. "The market potential for Syntonic's products, services and platform technologies is exhilarating, and I'm looking forward to helping Syntonic incubate, develop and implement growth opportunities around the globe."
Steve Elfman, former President of Sprint, a major U.S. telecommunications company, to be appointed as Director, bringing extensive experience in the wireless industry
“My decision to join Syntonic’s Board of Directors was very deliberate, driven by my assessment of the company’s product strategy and the executive team’s long-term vision. Syntonic is well positioned to make a big impact on the way mobile data is consumed and used for business intelligence. The road ahead looks bright and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish.”
Chris **riel, former Chief Executive Officer of Zain Africa and Top-100 Global Telco Influencer, also to be appointed as Director
“After working in the telco and mobile industry for decades, I’ve only seen a handful of companies like Syntonic with the potential to succeed based on the widespread global impact the technology can have on massive populations of people. Syntonic is on the right track, and I’m ready to jump in on the board with strategies and ideas to help strengthen their position as a leading provider of sponsored data solutions.”
SYT Products
A secure, cloud based, worlds first, true cross carrier
Connected
Services
Platform which is the only platform able to address the customers billing directly - which underpins
* Freeway (for consumers)
* Dataflex (for businesses)
* Freeway Overpass - Over the top mobile video/content service (for televisions in everyones pocket)
Disruptive offering allowing consumers to tailor a package to suit their needs for the content they wish to devour and the budget they wish to set without giving a thought to data and the exorbitant over charging anymore
* Freeway Roaming Service - Commercially launching Q1 2019 FY - allowing international travellers sponsored data access/international data plans to essential and popular travel apps and aiding the telcos in taking advantage of the 676 billion dollars generated from online travel service transactions each year
Available on iOS and Android
(iOS version for our technology suite took a long time and needed help from AT&T to receive the appropriate API's needed from Apple which only a handful of company's have been able to achieve in the world) Another very important point putting our competition at a massive disadvantage for achieving a truly comparable cross carrier platform accessible via Android and iOS
Syntonic Brazil/Zenvia Acquisition
Syntonic will have by the end of 2018 acquired all the assets and business operations including the transfer of key employees and mobile carrier and content provider agreements
All based in Sao Paulo, Brazil the hub of technology innovation in Brazil
This deal gives Syntonic an end to end billing solution for developing nations who do not use credit cards and rely on e commerce solutions to enable on line transactions through their Telco accounts
It also gives Syntonic a solid foundation into South America with all four major Telcos in Brazil utilising the Zenvia MCP
The two platforms merged together in H1 2019 will give us an absolute complete solution for Telcos to participate in the $1.78 Trillion economy of online mobile transactions and the $183.8 Billion annual mobile advertising dollars
Once the platform merger is complete early next year the MCP & CSP will be licensed to carriers world wide as THE cross carrier solution
This acquisition was a very cost effective solution instead of trying to build in house as explained in the latest webinar
To think this just came out of the blue is laughable, as nothing in this world just happens for no reason
They came to Syntonic, and Zenvia wouldn't have done that without knowledge of what is happening within the Telco realm
Bigger play happening here in IMO, and cannot wait to see who the new Tier 1 Multinational is that we have just about ready to sign on the dotted line
Telco Deals in Place
Tata Communications - Never doubted this deal was dead and why it was left at the top of my list of partners
Cannot wait to see what comes of the new deal with our new technology advancements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything to do with Sponsored Data at TATA and we can rest assured it is our technology at its heart

AT&T
Integrated on the AT&T network
Negotiated a 70% discount in data pricing opening the doorway for a viable OTT service to be created
(I personally believe this discount wasn't because AT&T were feeling generous.....strategic
)
A further 20% reduction now negotiated making it a 76% reduction of our original pricing from them
Our OTT platform Freeway Overpass is now available on AT&Ts network
For their 40 million odd post paid subscribers

Interesting also to see if they can get the 30 companies on board in 6 months
Stay Tuned for the next Dataflex agreement...
Competition
Will always be there, but the word around town is that they all stand in STARK CONTRAST to what SYT has to offer
It also has an UNRIVALED operator network footprint to deliver their services for content providers due to their unique cross carrier functionality and seemless integration into the telcos network
Revenue consistency has begun at such an early stage, proving that they can monetise the platform
And have projected to increase on this early revenue, at levels materially above and beyond moving forward as they fully commercialise their superior carrier grade platform
Q1 2018 - $313,000
Q2 2018 - $449,000
Q3 2018 - $315,000
Q4 2018 - $ 659,000
I hope you have enjoyed this brief and continue looking into this great Co listed on the ASX
If you believe in data being an impediment for the mobile internet, then this is the company for you as we are leading the charge in knocking down that barrier and making CONTENT king
The Telcos can use our technologies to do something others cannot and take back a lot of the revenue they have been missing out on and what is rightfully theirs
Many aspects to this company all stemming from the Connected Services Platform built, powering all of the technology suite and innovation driving Syntonic - leading to multiple revenue streams after the foundations are layed
It is just the beginning for Sponsored Data as a whole, and we are leading the race
In fact I dare say Syntonic will be the company that succeeds in putting Sponsored Data on the map (Or at least all the partners and content providers using our technologies), and become the entire backbone for this industry developing before our eyes in the mobile arena
Enjoy the rest of your 2018, and may it be a prosperous one for all
