IAdea has been a strong promoter of HTML5 to drive the next wave of digital signage market expansion. “The rapid adoption of open technology shows the industry is ready for utilizing simple, smart devices on a massive scale,” says Rex Chen, Executive Vice President of IAdea. “We are glad to provide the most complete family of HTML5-enabled products specifically optimized for Scala users and really help make digital signage deployment and management a breeze for them.”
“IAdea is a leader in developing digital signage media appliances featuring a rich set of functionality. Their media appliances and signboards are perfectly designed to target retail and corporate communication audiences effectively”, states Harry Horn, Vice President Marketing of Scala. “IAdea’s new displays are now powered over Ethernet; not having to use a separate power cord for the displays makes it super easy for digital marketers to use dynamic signage in their communication strategy. By combining IAdea products with the rock solid and powerful Scala software, retail and corporate marketers have a great tool set in hand to connect with their target groups; and now that Scala supports HTML5 a whole new world of live content assets can be used to make dynamic messaging even more impactful. On the Scala stand at DSE 2013 (Stand 922) Scala will showcase a sales driving retail communication concept and a corporate communication set up that can be used in many environments. For both concepts we will use the new Power-over-Ethernet IAdea signboards.”
The new IAdea products provide great applications especially for the retail and corporate communications vertical markets. At booth #922 of DSE 2013, Scala and IAdea will jointly demonstrate the new devices applied to retail shop and conference room scenarios.
