The size of the stake acquired by Penta was not disclosed, but Unquote sister publication Mergermarket reported in July last year that the company would consider selling 15-20% for a growth capital raise of $20m.
The fresh capital will be used to expand Cellpoint's team globally and develop the platform in the area of intelligent analytics.
