Signs of the Times

(Today's guest entry comes from Mike Foster, CMO and Co-Founder of MediaTile) 

Today is day two for me at the Sprint Developer’s Conference in Santa Clara, CA.  Yesterday, Sprint M2M president Danny Bowman, and VP of Marketing Wayne Ward gave an enlightening keynote on Sprint’s view of the Machine to Machine market to the more than 1200 attendees in a packed room.  

The key focus of this event is on Sprint partners, such as MediaTile, and the use of embedded modems and 3G/4G data services included in vertical solutions.  As Danny explained in his keynote “We’re only as good as the partnership we have...we’ can’t do any of this without the participation of folks in this room.” 

MediaTile was prominently featured in their keynote presentation as a perfect example of an M2M partner, and how our Cellular Digital Signage /HumanKiosk uses the Sprint 4G network to deliver new 2-way video capabilities in the digital signage / kiosk marketplace.  This created serious attention and traffic to our HumanKiosk demonstration area, located in the main exhibit hall.  If you’re still at the show today or tomorrow, stop by and I’ll give you a personal demonstration.    Yesterday, I was accompanied by Jessica, pictured above, who helped with the product demonstrations.
