  Simtrol Receives First Series of Purchase Orders From Tech Electronics

 
  July 20, 2006  
 
 
 

NORCROSS, GA – Simtrol, Inc. (OTCBB: SMRL) today announced it has received its first series of purchase orders from Tech Electronics, Inc. (TEi) for the company’s OnGuard control and management software for use in TEi’s AxisTV dynamic visual messaging and digital signage applications.

AxisTV Visual Messaging and Digital Signage technologies are network-based solutions designed to substantially improve organizational communication by enabling a wider number of people to create powerful messages directly from their desktop, PDA or cell phone. AxisTV’s web-based visual management system creates, manages and delivers dynamic content to thousands of digital signs, televisions and plasmas in a variety of environments including casinos, retail malls, airports, churches, banks, educational campuses, hospitals and sports venues.

The integrated device control solution embeds Simtrol’s OnGuard technology into AxisTV. Through a custom tailored interface, AxisTV administrators manage the content being delivered and the devices displaying the message. The integrated solution eliminates the challenge faced in digital signage implementations to date – the inability to easily control and monitor the endpoint displays.

Sean M. Matthews, President of TEi, stated: “We signed our licensing partnership with Simtrol in 2005 and both companies have worked hard since then perfecting the technology for our customers. We are excited about these first orders coming online and look forward to growing our relationship with Simtrol as AxisTV gains market share. We continue adding value to our software platform at an accelerated rate and are confident about its bright future because clients can reduce the total cost of ownership of digital displays, extending their life by automating shutdown in off hours and communications delivery assurance is greatly improved because retail advertisers can confirm ad runs from individual players and ensure the endpoint displays were on during the airing.”

TEi recently announced eight new product additions to its AxisTV line of visual messaging and digital signage applications. All of the new products were unveiled at the InfoComm trade show in Orlando, Florida in June. The eight new products include a completely redesigned GUI (v.6.1.1), native support for Flash® media, AxisTV Enterprise Edition (v.1.1.1), RSS data publisher, AxisTV Text Messenger, AxisTV Desktop Messenger, and a Microsoft® Exchange calendar data adapter. The releases further the company’s vision of empowering users to create visual communications and digital signage content from anywhere and deliver to any type of display.

Rick Egan, Simtrol Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Turning hard work into purchase orders is exciting and rewarding for all Simtrol stakeholders – our shared customers with TEi as well as our employees and shareholders. Digital signage is a dynamic, growing vertical application and we are pleased we can add significant value to TEi as they continue growing their business.”

Simtrol develops and sells deviceware – a unique form of middleware that ties devices to applications using open standard interfaces. This enables companies to control, monitor, diagnose, schedule and manage devices in a powerful, uniform way. The Company’s products are used in a number of vertical markets including healthcare, law enforcement, digital signage, education, corporate, hospitality and residential. Simtrol sells to a number of Fortune 1000 corporations, government entities, educational systems and other end users through professional system integrators, value added resellers (VARs) and other distributors who are supported by the Company’s sales and technical support staff.
