iSIGN Media Announces Shipment of 100 Smart Antennas to We Build Apps For the First Phase of Crocker Park Installation
TORONTO, Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX-V: ISD) (OTC: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves brands, commercial locations, retailers and service providers throughout North America, today announced it has completed the shipment of 100 Smart Antennas to its reseller We Build Apps, LLC, ("WBA") for installation into Crocker Park ("Crocker"), a major shopping complex located on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio.
Installation of these units into Crocker is to commence by the end of February, in a pre-selected area and will complete the first phase of Smart Antenna installation in accordance with WBA's installation schedule with Crocker.
The tenants at Crocker have been introduced to our proximity marketing technology. They will be participating in its Proximity Mobile Messaging Solution ("PMMS") once installation of the first phase is completed.
iSIGN is in the process of developing and programming the Security Alert Messaging Solution ("SAMS"), based on specifications input from WBA for Crocker and other related properties. As iSIGN is developing the SAMS system, iSIGN will fully own the system and related IP. Completion of the SAMS development is anticipated to be no longer than 75 days.
The full SAMS program, encompassing front-end subscription system, reporting dashboard and back-end storage modifications will be a software upgrade to iSIGN's core network. Upgrade of all installed Smart Antennas will be handled on-line once development is completed. Uploading of the software upgrade will have no impact upon the use and performance of the Smart Antenna network and its delivery of messaging to shoppers at Crocker and other properties.
Until SAMS is ready for use, the Smart Antennas will be used to deliver the PMMS.
The shipment of these units completes the requirement of Smart Antennas for the Phase 1 installation at Crocker. Additional orders to complete the full Crocker installation to be forwarded by WBA as each phase is ready for installation. Crocker's requirement is that their approximately 78 acre site has full 100% broadcast coverage, which will enable their insurance company to review and agree upon an exact figure for their premium rebate.
The immediate revenue generated by this first shipment will be approximately $78,000 Cdn. In addition, as these 100 Smart Antennas are installed and broadcasting commences, iSIGN's ongoing monthly revenue for broadcasting and data management services will start, as will the collection of the anonymous data generated by the interaction of its technology solution with shoppers' mobile devices from this site.
"We are pleased to announce the shipment of these units for installation into Crocker Park," said Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief Executive Officer. "Getting to this point has been a long and time consuming process. We are confident that the experience gained by We Build Apps in this process will help to make future site installations easier and faster."
"We expect that the start of the Crocker Park installation will generate interest in our Company and its technology primarily from the US marketplace," added Mr. Romanov.
