Initial Manufacture of First 5,000 Integrated Tele-Digital Store Front Kiosks on Schedule
TORONTO, Jan. 27, 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 on the progress of the integration of its Smart Antennas into Rich Multimedia Technologies Inc.'s ("RMT") Tele-Digital Store Front Kiosks ("Kiosks").
The Licensing and Original Equipment Manufacturer Agreement ("Agreement") was signed October 27, 2015. At the time, we announced that the target date for the manufacturer to start integrating our Smart Antenna into RMT's Kiosks was the end of November 2015. Under the terms of this agreement, iSIGN was to review and approve the integration, as well as any changes to the Smart Antenna build.
By November 24, 2015, we had supplied Smart Antenna units, as well as the schematics for the unit to the manufacturer, which allowed them to complete the design of a fully integrated Kiosk and to commence the required testing.
By the end of December 2015, the manufacturer had submitted, sourced and received our approval for the purchase of upgraded Smart Antenna component parts. At this point, the manufacturer was in the process of preparing pilot units as models for the production run.
Samples of the pilot units have now been completed and shipped to our office by the manufacturer, meeting the forecasted January end deadline to have final samples and production units ready for our review and approval.
"We are pleased that the progress to date has been smooth, efficient and timely," stated Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief Executive Officer.
RMT will deploy 5,000 Kiosks in Mexico City's international airport, transit system and government facilities. Additionally, RMT plans to roll out 3,600 Kiosks in multiple major international airports in the US and Canada by the end of 2016.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the licensing fee will be based upon the number of Kiosks built during the term of this Agreement and any renewal periods, starting with an initial build of 5,000 Kiosks. In addition to the licensing fee, iSIGN will receive a data management fee based on installation and activation of the licensed Kiosks. The combined licensing and data management fees will generate revenues to iSIGN of $3 US per day per Kiosk
