Cupertino, CA, March 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Unicon Systems, developers of CCOTS™ mobile devices and scalable Systems-on-Display (SoD™) technology for mobile applications, today announced the delivery of a new Digital Signage System called Helios.
The Helios Digital Signage System is a first in its class – a cost-effective, feature-rich, wireless solution for infotainment and advertisement in public areas. The Helios brings the reliability and convenience of mobile technology into digital signage space previously dominated by bulky legacy PC-based solutions.
