TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc.
("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX-V: ISD) (OTC: ISDSF), a leading
provider of interactive mobile proximity advertising solutions is
pleased to provide an update from its reseller LED Solutions
Manufacturing Inc. ("LED").
Training of LED's staff on the Smart Antenna and iSIGN's
patented technology was completed by iSIGN's technical staff by
mid-January. LED's staff involved in the training, included
those in the fields of: Installation; IT and Networking; Content
and Ad Creation; Backend Systems and Data Management; and Sales and
Business.
LED has added an 'Intelligent Sign' page to their website
(www.ledsolutions.ca). This page, as well as LED's home page,
now features several iSIGN videos and sections on 'How it works'
and 'What it does'.
LED has delivered a Purchase Order for 100 Smart Antennas and
took possession of 10 units in December 2015. These units
will be used primarily for testing and sales demonstrations.
The additional 90 units will be deployed as part of the early sales
activities currently taking place.
LED's initial installation of Smart Antennas to create the
industry's first 'Intelligent Signs' will be in the downtown core
of Toronto, Ontario. This
installation will initially be counting traffic and gathering
information on the time spent within range of the Intelligent
Signs.
LED has identified several of their clients that it will be
immediately targeting, both in Canada and the
United States for presentation of the 'Intelligent Sign' and
have acknowledged sales targets of at least 1,000 Smart Antennas by
the end of 2018.
"The 'Intelligent Sign' gives our clients access to iSIGN's
pivotal emerging technology, which combined with our existing
services, allows us to enhance our client's brand presence and also
provide proactive marketing with real time metrics and traffic
analysis," said Mr. William Large, a
principal of LED Solutions. "Having an exclusive with iSIGN
for their hardware and technology in our industry is a great
competitive advantage for us."
LED's signage clients include multi-national chains such as
Cineplex, H&R Block, CAA, Mastermind Toys, Delta Hotels,
Rio-Can, Investors Group, Sheridan Hotels, Scotiabak and Sears.
iSIGN's Smart Antenna is a commercial quality unit, that is
waterproof and fully tested to operate within extreme temperature
ranges of -40 to +180 degrees Fahrenheit, that does not involve
apps and the related downloads and the requirement to surrender
personal and private information in order for messages to be
received, viewed and acted upon. There is no cost to the
recipient to connect to or receive messages from our solution, as
messages are delivered by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The
information gathered by our Smart Antenna and patented technology
is completely anonymous, in that it cannot in any way identify the
individual that our technology is interacting with. Some of
the information gathered includes the make and model of the mobile
device; acceptance or rejection of messages; date, time and
location of each interaction; and time spent within range of our
system. All of this 'Big Data' is of considerable interest to
users of our technology, as well as to data integrators.
