Wireless Ronin takes back Meijer digital signage network

August 21, 2008

MINNEAPOLIS — Wireless Ronin Technologies Inc., a Minneapolis-based digital signage provider, has announced that it has reached agreement with NewSight Corporation to terminate its digital signage agreement and to take ownership of the hardware and software constituting the in-store network at 102 Meijer stores and inventory of hardware necessary to build out approximately 40 more such stores.

"Our belief was that NewSight would have completed its financing transaction in the first half of 2008, laying the groundwork for NewSight's future operations," said Jeffrey C. Mack, Wireless Ronin Technologies president and CEO. "When NewSight failed to obtain such financing, we engaged in discussions resulting in Wireless Ronin taking control of the hardware and software constituting the Meijer in-store network. We are pleased to also have entered into an agreement that provides for the continued operation of the Meijer network, thereby eliminating any disruption to Meijer or its customers. We have also entered into discussions with several national network providers focused on the build-out of the remaining Meijer stores with continued management of the Meijer network by Wireless Ronin."
