Telepanel Announces New Millennium Plus(TM) Electronic
Shelf Labels - Next Generation Technology Breakthrough
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA and TORONTO, CANADA--Telepanel Systems
Inc., a Toronto based leader in wireless electronic shelf label
(ESL) systems for retail stores, today unveiled its new Millennium
PLUS(TM) electronic shelf label system at MARKETECHNICS '99 in New
Orleans. Millennium PLUS(TM) is a major advance over the ESL
technologies available in the world today.
Millennium PLUS(TM) builds upon the full function, high
reliability, ease of installation and long life that have been the
hallmarks of Telepanel's wireless technology. The evolutionary
Millennium PLUS(TM) product stretches Telepanel's lead in radio
frequency (RF) based technology with substantial gains in
communication power, highly repeatable performance, dramatic
increases in processing speeds, and reduced acquisition price.
Millennium PLUS(TM) is easily incorporated into existing in-store
communication networks, such as Symbol's Spectrum24(R) network.
Retailers can now extend their current RF network to include
Telepanel electronic shelf labels.
Commenting on the new system, Chris Skillen, Telepanel's President
and CEO, said "Telepanel has always set the standard for
electronic shelf labels. Our new Millennium PLUS(TM) system
delivers function and price/performance that is second to none.
Millennium PLUS(TM) was built with the assistance and advice of
our business partners - IBM, Fleming (FLM), Symbol (SBL), and the
Communications Research Centre. Telepanel is now the only vendor
to deliver wireless ESL technology at prices that the retailers
have long demanded."
The Millennium PLUS(TM) electronic shelf label system is available
worldwide, direct from Telepanel and through IBM Corporation,
Fleming Inc., and Telepanel Europe.
"We are excited about the price/performance offered by Millennium
PLUS(TM)," said Scott Yeager, Fleming's Director of Marketing.
"Millennium PLUS(TM) offers our retailers a tremendous opportunity
to integrate ESL's with other point of sale, in-store processor,
and in-store RF network technologies sold by Fleming."
Millennium PLUS(TM) is being unveiled at MARKETECHNICS '99 in New
Orleans today. Telepanel's electronic shelf labels are on display
at the booths of IBM Corporation, Symbol Technologies, and
Telepanel's own booth. (For more information, read the rest of the press release in the Yahoo Telepanel News Section.)
