Symon communications acquires Message-Link

PLANO, Texas — Symon Communications, global provider of real-time digital communications solutions, announced that it has acquired Message-Link, provider of visual communication systems for the hospitality and conference center industry.

Message-Link has been successfully serving the visual communications needs of major upscale hotels for over 18 years. The addition of the Message-Link product line enhances the Symon technology line-up with integration into event scheduling software applications to automatically retrieve and display event information throughout the day.

The combined products enable digital devices such as plasma and LCD displays, and LED panels, to be creatively driven by software that broadcasts pertinent hotel and meeting room information to hotel guests and conference site visitors using integrated graphics and text with full-motion video. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

With the acquisition, Symon gains Message-Link's industry-standard hospitality software interface, the Automatic Meeting Display (AMD). Message-Link products include hotel guest room displays, big-board plasma and LCD displays, event display boards and door signage for meeting rooms. A complementary product also offers multiple layouts on a single plasma or LCD screen for a variety of information displayed concurrently in strategically placed areas of the property.
