Gaining Momentum

Petlink Technology Inc. (Petgent) appears to be a legitimate small Canadian hardware entity with a valid FCC ID (2A3HX) for a LoRa-based pet tracker. However, the submission is severely compromised by demonstrably false claims, stating 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience, while independent data shows only ~1,000 Android app downloads. The financial data provided ('marketcap: 50000') is incoherent, and the team size of 30 is highly suspect given the negligible market traction. While the hardware engineering (IoT/LoRa) shows some technical merit, the project lacks verifiable adoption, has a confusing brand presence (often appearing on low-quality e-commerce aggregators), and the submission quality is unprofessional.
