M2Communication Announces Innovative Electronic Shelf Label Turnkey Solution
Hsinchu, TAIWAN (PRWEB) January 28, 2014 -- M2Communication Inc. today announced its electronic shelf label (ESL) turnkey solution that is set to change the ESL industry and benefits the retailers in the years to come. The company will exhibit this product at the EuroShop 2014 in Dusseldorf Germany and RetailTech Japan in Tokyo.
Inspired by proven cellular technologies, M2Communication’s turnkey ESL solution provides superior performance in data transmission and ultra-low power consumption. In addition to the 5 year battery life for the 2.9” graphic E Ink ePaper labels, the truly interactive RF technologies not only enables dynamic pricing, but also actively provides valuable information such as temperature, battery level, and self-diagnostic results that make the system smarter. These technologies are what set M2Communication’s turnkey ESL solutions apart from other relatively aged and restricting technologies.
'Our ESL tags are similar to installing a smartphone to the shelf edge that can constantly send and receive information,’ says Dr. Derrick Wei, Founder and CEO of M2Communication. ‘For a long time, the retailers could only choose the ESL solutions with wireless technologies developed in last century. Our ESL system is a 21st century solution for the 21st century retail industry.’
Over the last two years, ESL solutions using the 2.4GHz frequency band have been introduced to the retail world. Though it’s an interactive system, the coexistence with Wi-Fi and other 2.4GHz wireless devices is undermining its power efficiency and reliability. Further, with the continued growing popularity of Wi-Fi wireless devices, the problem will only get worse when the system is handling more complicated data such as displaying a graphic image.
M2Communication’s “Platanus” Communication Protocol uses a sub-GHz communication band, similar to a GSM network. It does not need to compete with the 2.4GHz band and suffers no band coexistence issues with Wi-Fi. At the same time, it achieves longer range transmission. These technologies are what make M2Communication’s solution more scalable and suitable for the retail environment.
M2Communication’s ESL solution business model is to work with system integrators, including POS makers and retail technologies businesses, to service the customers. It is now seeking partners around the world to jointly make its solution available to the retailers. It is scheduled to exhibit the solution, including live demonstration, at the EuroShop 2014 on Feb 16 and RetailTech Japan on Mar 4.
