ieHIP® Digital Signage to centerpiece in top resort
Cebu City, Philippines – A5TEK’s affiliate in the Philippines, A5COM Corp, recently
announced the forthcoming deployment of its ieHIP® Digital Signage in Shangri-La's
Mactan Resort & Spa. Mactan Shangri-la is one of Asia’s top resorts and is a
multi-awarded five-star resort facility in its class along with its sister hotels
spread across Asia. Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa is located in Mactan Island
Cebu in southern Philippines which is also home to many world-distinguished hotel resorts
for its white sand beaches, marine sanctuaries and wildlife attractions." We are very honored
to have been chosen by Shangri-la to meet their very discriminating requirements
for this project." according to A5COM President Francis Dy. The Shangri-la
deployment includes five digital signage client PCs using A5TEK’s proprietary
digital signage software – ieHIP® Digital Signage to be stationed along
with Shangri-la’s large-size LCD TVs in major guest points of the hotel.
An ieHIP® Digital Signage Server will also be stationed at the communications
department of the hotel to manage in-hotel information and promotions. A5TEK President Ted Lee
welcomed the forthcoming deployment as another milestone for the company’s breadth
and scale of its digital signage application to a range of industries. "We have always
recognized that not all industries are created equal. Retail and hotel services
sectors, for example, vary in their approach to motivate customers. That’s why at
the outset of our R and D, we made sure that our digital signage solution
can scale up to the most peculiar of requirements from our customers." said Lee. The planned digital
signage installations in Shangri-la Mactan will display hotel videos, latest gourmet offerings,
events, new services as well as real-time forex and weather information. As a web-based or IP-based
digital signage solution, Internet feeds such as RSS and IPTV and can also be displayed or the
hotel may choose to display TV since ieHIP® Digital Signage is also TV and DTV-ready.
A5COM also provided training to the hotel staff on using the different features of the software
and to fully maximize its capability to transform their digital signage displays as "information
hubs" wherever their customers go according to Dy. Dy also emphasized "We go beyond just delivery
of a good digital signage solution. We make sure that customers feel that we are with them every
step of the way to ensure a successful deployment."
Previously, A5COM also deployed several digital signages in a famous mall in Cebu using
A5TEK’s ieHIP® Digital Signage product suites.
Another forthcoming digital signage installation of A5COM will be in major public
spaces in Cebu such as waiting lounges in airport and boat terminals. Point-of-sale
digital signages are also foreseen in the coming months in other mall chains in the
northern part of the Philippines.

A5TEK President Ted Lee says that the port rollout in Cebu “only proves
that the digital signage market in the Philippines is
gaining a good momentum.”
Lee also revealed that part of A5TEK's strategy in the Philippines
is to encourage existing consortium to invest in "key installation
points" to establish their market lead, sell advertising
inventories fast and recover investments quickly.
A5TEK's Philippine affiliate A5COM early this year formed a
consortium with Rich-Media Network Inc to pursue a nationwide rollout
of A5TEK's ieHIP® Digital Signage suite through opening up of different
digital signage networks in retail and public spaces.
Another anticipated digital signage deployment will be at the
Mactan Cebu International Airport which is said to a series of
digital signage displays at the check-in counters.
