Acorn Secures $5M Contract with Leading Wireless Provider
for Remote Monitoring and Control of Cell Tower Backup Generators
Wilmington, DE June 5, 2024 Acorn Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: ACFN), a provider of remote monitoring and
control solutions for backup power generators, gas pipelines, air compressors and other mission critical assets,
through its OmniMetrix operating subsidiary, today announced a significant new contract with one of the
nation’s largest wireless telecommunications providers. Under the contract, OmniMetrix will provide
monitoring devices and related remote monitoring and control services for between 5-10 thousand cell tower
backup generators in the U.S. The monitoring units and monitoring services, which will be deployed over a two-
year period, are expected to generate total revenue of approximately $5 million beginning in the third quarter of
2024.
Jan Loeb, Acorn’s CEO, commented, “This is the largest contract in OmniMetrix’s history and a major
milestone for our Company as it confirms the strength and value of our monitoring technology, monitoring
services and our customer service commitment. OmniMetrix was selected through a rigorous competitive
process. Importantly, this relationship has the potential to position us for other large-scale deployments for this
customer and others.
“The engagement also puts us well on our way to achieving our 20% annual revenue growth target in both 2024
and 2025, building on 2023 revenue of $8.1M. Additionally, monitoring endpoints added through this contract
should make a material contribution to annually recurring monitoring revenues in 2024 and 2025, and likely in
future periods given the potential for annual monitoring service renewals.”
The customer’s Regional Operations Manager commented, “With the growing incidence of extreme weather
events and surging power demand, backup power generation plays an increasingly critical role in our ability to
deliver best-in-class, reliable, 24/7 mobile communications. We selected OmniMetrix for backup power
monitoring and control because of the strength of their technology, service features and national support for all
generator brands, in additional to their strong customer service commitment.”
