We are delighted to announce that MediaTile has just received the 2008 North American Digital Signage Technology Leadership of the Year Award from independent industry analyst and global consulting company Frost & Sullivan.

Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has pioneered the development and introduction of an innovative technology into the market; a technology that has either impacted or has the potential to impact several market sectors.

The award recognises a company's successful technology development that is expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture.

MediaTile was selected independently for this award by the Frost & Sullivan analyst team that tracks technology innovation in key hi-tech markets. "Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present The MediaTile Company with the Award for Technology Leadership in the field of digital signage solutions for its simple, all-in-one, fully integrated Digital-Sign-in-a-Box system," said Yin Fern Ko, Frost & Sullivan Analyst.

"The system can easily be deployed and operated by customers and eliminates many of the costs and complexities associated with digital signage broadcast networks."

The Frost & Sullivan award noted that MediaTile was also recognized for its approach to continuous improvement, acknowledging recent enhancements such as: advertisements that automatically update from remote sources, the addition of remotely controlled touch screen configurations, and support for multiple connectivity options in addition to cellular, including satellite, WiFi and Ethernet. In addition, the Frost & Sullivan award cited that feedback from customers using the Digital-Sign-in-a-Box system has been outstanding, with many claiming that they spend about half the time, and at about half the cost, to achieve their desired return on investment (ROI) as compared to the deployment of traditional digital signage systems.
