The new deals are integral to SkyHopper’s worldwide expansion strategy

Mobilicom Ltd (ASX:MOB) has closed contracts with two new resellers in Japan for the SkyHopper by Mobilicom product suite.

Skyhopper is an end-to-end hardware and software solution which targets the commercial and industrial drones and robotics sector.

The resellers, Jepico Corporation and Netwell Corporation, are highly regarded and specifically cater to several drone applications that SkyHopper supports.

Jepico is a reseller of electronic components with customers including large corporations such as Fujitsu, Hitachi, Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi, NEC, Panasonic and Toshiba among others.

Netwell Corporation is a reseller of telecommunication products and network solutions that serve security and surveillance applications.

 

Securing these resellers is part of SkyHopper’s worldwide expansion strategy, targeting the rapidly growing commercial and industrial drone and robotics market.

The collaborations follow Mobilicom’s plans to further expand SkyHopper in Japan.

SkyHopper by Mobilicom recently partnered with the Japan UAS Industrial Development Association (JUIDA), with the goal of driving healthy market growth in all applications.
