IZON GOLF SECURES NEXT WAVE OF TABLETS FOR EXPANSION
Secured 32,000 10” Tablets - Enough Supply for over 400 Golf Courses
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – January 30, 2019 – IZON Network, Inc. (OTC: IZNN), also known as IZON Golf, a leader in GPS and Total Course Technology for the golf industry and the creator of one of the most unique premium outdoor advertising networks, has taken another step forward in its overall expansion plan by securing its next wave of custom tablets.
IZON’s pipeline of new golf courses has grown rapidly, accelerating their need for custom 10” hi-resolution tablets built to IZON’s exact specifications. In a very unexpected development (due to the ongoing trade spat between the US & China) IZON has secured it’s next 32,000 tablets; this will allow IZON to roll-out its full software & hardware solution to over 400 golf courses both domestically and internationally. IZON was able to secure these tablets at a cost per tablet that is 60% less than previously modeled in our projections dramatically decreasing IZON’s cost of rolling out its full network.
Tablets have already begun arriving to IZON’s Arizona headquarters. These tablets will continue to be provisioned, loaded with IZON’s latest software release, cased and distributed to golf courses who can now take advantage of the company’s self-install “Cut the Cord” program. Important to note that each of these new tablets are loaded with the company’s proprietary MDM thus allowing even greater visibility and management of each tablet in the field.
