MINNEAPOLIS, March 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wireless Ronin(r) Technologies (Nasdaq:RNIN), a Minneapolis-based digital signage provider, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Sign Biz(r), Inc. to resell RoninCast(r) digital signage software as the content management application for its LobbyPOP(tm) brand division.
"Through this agreement, Wireless Ronin has the potential to further penetrate a variety of retail, financial and corporate markets through our relationship with Sign Biz and their clients," said Jeffrey Mack, president and CEO of Wireless Ronin Technologies. "Companies in the sign-making industry are looking for a digital signage solution to expand their palette of product offerings for clients. Sign Biz is putting itself on the cutting-edge of this industry trend."
Through this agreement, Wireless Ronin expects to expand sales efforts by integrating the RoninCast digital signage software with LobbyPOP's cutting-edge small business branding technology. More than 170 digital imaging dealers in the Sign Biz network will now have access to the RoninCast digital signage system for their business clients.
"Our chain of imaging sign companies serves more than 500,000 small businesses across the United States and abroad," explained Teresa M. Young, Sign Biz's president and CEO.
