LINDON, Utah — Helius Inc., provider of business-class IP video solutions, and Internet Connectivity Group announced a partnership to deliver cellular-connected digital-signage solutions based on the Helius MediaGate router and ICG's Top Global USA MobileBridge 3G (Third Generation) wireless-router products using Sprint's nationwide Power Vision network.

The partnership is expected to bring digital connectivity to the IP video industry and enable faster deployment of applications such as digital signage and distance learning.

"The ICG products are a great fit and expand connectivity options for our customers," said Kim Clark, chief technology officer of Helius. "By combining the flexibility of cellular connections with Helius' sophisticated IP video hardware and software, our customers can quickly and inexpensively install top quality IP video systems anywhere there is a cell signal."

The 3G connectivity solutions enable digital-signage and distance-learning applications to be deployed in remote locations where wired Internet connectivity is unavailable or expensive. By eliminating the need for extended cabling, 3G cellular can both speed up and simplify the installation of IP video solutions.
