Foxlink Group leads Series A investment to expand US and international growth of V5 Systems.
V5 Systems, Inc. (“V5”) (www.v5systems.us), a leader in innovating wireless, on edge,
intelligent security and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) computing solutions announces that
it has closed a $7 million Series A financing round. This round was officially closed with funds
received from Foxlink Group (www.foxlink.com), a multi-billion dollar Taiwan-based
electronics manufacturer. Foxlink will be V5’s strategic global manufacturer. V5 will leverage
the new funds to execute a global product rollout, incorporate new sensors onto its existing edge
based security platform and further develop its Industrial IoT wireless computing platform.
“It is with great pride that I am announcing the closing of the $7M Series A funding round led
by our partners at Foxlink Group. We now have the means, motivation and persistence required
to make V5 Systems a global success,” said Steve Yung, Chairman and CEO of V5 Systems.
Joining V5’s board of directors will be Rodney Chiu, Vice President of Corporate Strategy and
Investment of Foxlink Group. As an MIT graduate with strong technical background and over
10 years of experience in manufacturing and operations, Rodney will be an integral part of V5’s
expansion and growth.
“The opportunity for autonomous and smart surveillance within the integrated security boom is
enormous, both in the US and in markets around the world,” said Chiu. “We believe that V5
Systems is the technical leader in this space, and its product is best positioned to take immediate
advantage of prevailing trends. In addition to its investment, Foxlink will play a strategic role in
validating both the technology and commercial potential of V5 Systems. We are excited to

About V5 Systems, Inc.
California-based V5 Systems was founded in 2013 and operates out of Fremont CA. Its
founders were intent on delivering a security solution that can be deployed in any outdoor
environment without the limitations of tapping into fixed power and without having to modify
existing land or structures. This eliminates the need for trenching and acquiring permits while
vastly reducing cost and time. They were successful in developing the world’s first multi-sensor
portable security unit with edge (on the device itself) computing. Highlights of V5 Systems
intelligent edge computing devices are as follows:
• Wireless, off the grid power utilizing V5’s patented power system deriving power
directly from solar (and or wind)
• Portable for easy setup and deployment creating the freedom to redeploy when and as
needed (25 lbs. or less)
• On board processors with analytics capabilities and true edge computing
• Controlled IIoT architecture capable of running third party applications
• Up to 1TB of on board storage for HD quality video retention on the edge
• Communications through cellular connection, WiFi, Satellite and RF
• Multi sensor functionality including video, acoustic processing and chemical detection
V5 technology can capture, analyze, and even interpret data in real time and relay this
information to its proprietors. Real-time transfer of data allows end users to respond
‘proactively’ to a potential threat or issue rather than being ‘reactive’ after the fact. V5 delivers
a truly innovative, self powered security and computing solution for IoT industrial control,
monitoring and data collection applications.
