Comapny x generates revenue from subscriptions to our Connected Operations Cloud, which today includes Applications for Video-based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Driver Apps and Workflows, Equipment Monitoring and Control, and Site Visibility. A subscription to our Connected Operations Cloud includes loT data collection, which comes from a Company X S IoT device, such as an Internet gateway, camera or sensor, or at times from a third-party solution; cellular connectivity for our loT devices; access to our cloud Applications, APIs and the Company X App Marketplace; and customer support. We price our subscriptions on a per asset, per application basis. For example, one vehicle using two Applications (video-based safety and vehicle telematics) would count as two subscriptions, and a five-building site with each building using two Applications (equipment monitoring and site visibility) would count as ten subscriptions. Company Xs subscriptions are typically sold with three or five year terms, with the customer paying monthly, annually or upfront. Hardware is included in the subscription price and shipped as part of the first purchase transaction. New hardware is not required upon renewal. Part 1.
