“Being able to offer clients wireless internet connectivity definitely strengthens our product offering,” added Mr. Romanov. “We can now offer clients a system that reaches mobile devices utilizing both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi; on a system that can also manage content and schedule advertising on any digital signage network and generate client reports on a near real-time basis, with analysis by Baylor University, a world-wide respected institute. We have built a solution that is ready to provide the largest possible digital merchandising, advertising network in the United States.”
