Xiamen, China, September 29th, 2022—Milesight, a fast-growing AIoT solution provider was thrilled to announce that its sales growth in H1 had rocketed over 400% compared to last year, though the first half of the year 2022 was tough due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the shortage of semiconductors in a global context, which greatly affected the availability of products delivery and caused great challenges to many enterprises.
Boosting Projects and Expanding Product Line 
The biggest booster for Milesight’s sales growth fell into the development in the market of North America with two flagship cases, namely the IAQ project in Canadian schools where 47,000 sensors were deployed, and the Smart Building project in Canada featuring 4400 sensors. These two projects together not only accounted for a big share of our growth, but also further drove the development of Smart Schools and Smart Buildings in Canada, Now in these schools of Quebec, with real-time readings of IAQ parameters through AM107 in classrooms, teachers can react accordingly and students can enjoy a carefree and healthy environment. Milesight Smart Building Solution also saves a lot of trouble for the commercial building in Canada. With LoRaWAN® providing stable, wide and penetrating signals, end nodes (AM107, AM319, EM300-TH, EM500-CO2 and VS121) are working together to provide accurate environment data to the building operators. Paired with powerful AI-driven system, it is effortless to gain helpful insights to lower power consumption and improve efficiency of the building.
Besides, the expansion of Milesight’s product line also contributed significantly. Milesight had stepped into the AIoT world and presented many innovative products. These products drew huge attention from clients, thus attracting more potential customers and generating more successful cases. In H1 2022, Milesight further enriched its 5G products portfolio with 5G CPE UF51 and 5G Dongle UF31 to satisfy different application scenarios as well as provide outstanding 5G connectivity. To present more comprehensive IAQ solutions, Milesight also released AM307/AM319 with upgraded and more diversified sensors to meet various needs, and AM103L/AM103 with the most essential sensors to deliver a more cost-effective IAQ solution. The launch of UG63 and UC100 were also a hit drawing huge attention. The underlying reasons for the expansion of Milesight product line are the strong R&D ability that drives the innovation, following with Milesight’s well-planned market strategy.
