Digital signage content firm adds iPhone app

September 5, 2012

Digital signage content feed firm Data Call Technologies Inc. has released a new infotainment app exclusively for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, according to a company release. Leveraging DCLT's experience in the digital signage infotainment market, DataCallQ brings the company's existing product offering, as well as its new offerings, to the rapidly growing mobile marketplace, the company said.

In addition to Data Call's current products available for its digital signage partners, DataCallQ adds enhanced news featuring embedded images and videos for global news, politics and technology. Data Call also has included its newly available real-time domestic and international flight information, providing mobile users up-to-date scheduled and estimated departure and arrival times, gates and current flight status.

Incorporated into the new DataCallQ are the company's core digital signage products that include a full suite of weather products (current conditions, forecasts, Doppler radar images, etc.), extensive financial reporting data and complete coverage of all major sporting events.

DataCallQ was designed to integrate the infotainment products normally requiring multiple standalone apps into a single, convenient and easy-to-use app. The most up-to-date version uses the free, ad-supported model employed by the majority of apps in the mobile market. Data Call has also commenced development of the next generation of DataCallQ which will provide enhanced weather and sports, news and financial reporting, granting mobile users the advanced ability of more flexible user customization.

"We are truly excited about the opportunity to deliver a first-class app to the mobile market that not only meets, but exceeds the high standards we first set with our digital signage offerings," said Jim Ammons, the company's chairman, in the announcement.
