LAS VEGAS, April 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Novra Technologies Inc.
("Novra") (TSX-V: NVI) announced today that it has received—through
Wegener, one of its Novra Group companies—a new initial order and a
three-year Master Services Agreement to supply The Wellness Network
with digital signage-enabled media players and services to
consolidate and expand their large scale network using the Compel2
management system. The network operates over both Satellite and IP
and provides enhanced, customizable media delivery to health care
providers across North America.
The first batch of media players shipped in March 2019.
Harris Liontas, Novra President
and CEO said, "This project builds on the current digital signage
success that we have enjoyed with networks in Latin America and military bases around the
world. We are pleased to be expanding our digital signage footprint
in North America. For customers
with national networks in the thousands and networks spread around
the globe, the Compel2 platform has provided the reliability they
can trust and the powerful, precise control they need to distribute
and manage both media and messaging. Our competitive advantage in
this fast-changing field is the combination of our 35 years of
broadcast-quality control systems expertise with a new generation
of cost-effective media players. We remain committed to providing
flexible, tailored solutions to meet both current and future
requirements."
Jim Lyons, CTO The Wellness
Network said, "We have a longstanding, solid track record working
with this product provider and solution-focused integrator,
and we are pleased to further expand on that well-established
relationship. The ability to leverage their new products into our
existing network and media delivery platforms, while taking
advantage of new, advanced features made this decision an easy one.
Our priority is to continuously integrate the most advanced
technology available into our media delivery systems in order to
service the very sophisticated and ever-changing needs of our
customers."
The Novra Group manufactures the key hardware and software
components required for satellite-distributed signage networks
including: IP Encapsulators, file distribution software, data
encryption, management software (to drive flexible ad insertion and
background music), satellite receivers and video player software.
The Compel2 system provides operators the ability to control
systems—ranging from small to very large—over satellite and/or IP
networks. These differentiators offer flexibility, customization,
and innovation that competing alternatives typically lack.
The announcement was made at the 2019 National Association of
Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas,
the largest annual media technology event in North America. The new iPump Pro 762 for
digital signage has been nominated for the prestigious NAB Product
of the Year award at the show. This and other new products and
solutions from Wegener, Novra, and International Datacasting will
be on display at the NAB Show through April
11 at the International Datacasting/Novra Group booth
SU3621.
