TAIPEI, Taiwan. August 16, 2017 – IAdea, leader in digital signage media players, smart signboards, and video wall technology, together with Concierge, announce today the debut of Near-Field Communications (NFC) add-on to IAdea XDS-1078 as a prototype demo at Integrate Expo, Melbourne, Australia from August 29 to August 31. The demo will be showcased at the booth in the name of Quantum Sphere, IAdea’s distributor in the Oceania region, on the show floor (booth number F26).

IAdea XDS-1078, with NFC add-on module, now offers users benefits below:

• Instant onsite booking – increases operation efficiency by eliminating time-consuming typing and submitting via website, but instead, allowing meetings to be booked directly from the panel in-person
• Authenticating authorized identifications – enhances security of the building, offering end-clients the peace of mind, by offering touch-enabled authentication of IDs such as staff badges or authorized guest passes
• Big data reports available for improved room management –  ad-hoc booking statistics by room and/or organizer in addition to reporting room features error through display
• Look-and-feel compatible with existing building design – blends in easily with the existing building design and infrastructure to deliver a wholesome look-and-feel (velcros included for hassle-free setup on concrete glass interface)
• Versatile panel options for system integrators and project deployment teams – “bring your own screen” flexibility with IAdea media players embedded

“IAdea’s innovation allows users to swipe their company NFC badge at a digital door sign to take the empty room immediately, or intuitively reserve an upcoming empty time slot at this particular room, all using the same touch screen,” says John C. Wang, CEO of IAdea. “The XDS-1078 intelligent signboard system paired with Concierge software is another example of strengthening the partnership ecosystem.”

“Concierge, in collaboration with IAdea have incorporated the latest NFC technology to authenticate users before accessing the Concierge Room Booking System. This system provides a safe and secure platform for user and businesses.” Says Michael Cartmel, Director of Concierge.

IAdea XDS-1078 with NFC add-on module will be launched and ready for shipments by Q4 2017. Interested in a live demo at Integrate? Book a meeting with IAdea, Quantum Sphere or and Concierge via http://www.iadea.com/events/2017-integrate.

About Concierge

Concierge Displays was created when the founding directors realised there was not an easy to use, easy to integrate meeting room management system available. Our engineers got to work and designed our very first meeting room booking system in 2014. Now thousands of meeting rooms are running on time and to schedule thanks to Concierge Meeting Room Displays. With the ever increase cost of rent and land space, businesses can curtain they are effectively and efficiently using and monitoring these dedicated spaces.
