MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 3, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RNIN), a Minneapolis-based digital signage provider, announced today that Checkpoint Systems, Inc. will integrate its RoninCast interactive digital signage software into its 32-inch Advanced Public View monitoring system. Checkpoint is a leading provider of loss prevention solutions to the global retail industry. Checkpoint Systems chose the Wireless Ronin digital signage technology for its ability to easily integrate into and enhance its existing Clarity product line.
"Checkpoint's integration of the RoninCast digital signage technology to its current product offerings is a great example of how the benefits can reach far beyond sales lift and support loss prevention initiatives," said Jeffrey Mack, president and CEO of Wireless Ronin Technologies. "Many of Checkpoint's customers currently have hardware or loss prevention systems in place; adding digital signage is a key value-add for those programs."
Wireless Ronin's digital signage software, RoninCast, combined with Clarity from Checkpoint, allows companies to effectively share a 32" display between loss prevention efforts and digital signage efforts. RoninCast's unique control and scheduling options will allow hierarchical control based on customers' business needs. Checkpoint has released the combined digital signage product to their national sales group and expects customer introduction beginning Q1 2008.
"The RoninCast software is a unique technology that will enhance our video product line and improve the customer experience in retail stores," said Nicholas Khalil, President of North America, Checkpoint Systems. "We are pleased to have an innovative partner like Wireless Ronin to add to our product line and raise the bar for our industry."
