TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 6, 2013) - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:ISD)(OTCQX:ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, is pleased to announce the delivery of its first Smart Player Development Kit ("SPDK") to the Quick Service Restaurant channel ("QSR").

The SPDK allows customers to become familiar with the operation, features and functions of iSIGN's Smart Player, by allowing customers to program feature functions; test the performance of digital screen content management; load and reload content as required; create mobile messaging and to synchronize mobile messages with messages displayed on digital screens. Its purpose is to aid customers in their testing and evaluation of iSIGN's Smart Player.

iSIGN's intent is to make the SPDK available to select customers in a variety of channels beginning in mid-December 2013.

"Our Smart Player is an all-weather media/mobile solutions that handles digital signage management for both inside and outside installations and is ideally suited for QSR outlets with drive through windows," said Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, to providing the ability to synchronize mobile messaging with digital signage messages, our Smart Player gathers, in real time, clean data which is information relating to shopper product and brand, offer preference as well as final purchases without gathering any information that could identify individual shoppers in any way."

"Our customers will benefit by having to purchase a single piece of hardware, whereas in the past they would have had to acquire two pieces of hardware," added Mr. Romanov. "Not only does this provide savings in terms of hardware costs, but it will help to reduce the time and cost invested in installing equipment, both of which will increase ROI for our clients."

"An additional benefit is that our Smart Player, by reason of its ability to interact with more mobile devices simultaneously than iSIGN's Smart Antenna, will gather greater quantities of clean data in a shorter period of time," stated Mr. Romanov. "Within the not too distant future, our Smart Player will completely revolutionize proximity location-based messaging, all while gathering clean data and delivering valuable business intelligence.

Production prototypes of the Smart Player are expected to be available beginning in March 2014.
