Helius Inc. Launches MediaStream™ SST ADVANCED

Device Delivers Individualized Content to Multiple Displays for Custom Communication

LINDON, UTAH – Oct. 26, 2005 – Helius, Inc., a leading developer of world-class IP broadcasting solutions for business, announced today the launch of its MediaStream SST Advanced (SST-ADV), a next-generation digital signage output device that provides businesses with the ability to store and deliver unique content on display points from a centrally managed location.

When the SST-ADV is used with Helius’ MediaSignage software users can quickly and easily implement a robust digital signage network solution providing high-quality multimedia presentation. Because the SST-ADV has on-board content storage capabilities, network traffic is minimized and the customer has the flexibility to include wireless networking as part of their Digital Signage solutions.

"Today’s expanding corporate and retail environments demand more from their broadcast media systems and are looking for a solution that will allow them to broaden their capabilities without completely overhauling the current infrastructure,” said Ron Heinz, President and CEO of Helius. “With Helius’ MediaStream SST Advanced, our customers can easily integrate advanced digital signage technologies without disturbing the existing network, resulting in a customized multimedia solution that drives results for their businesses."

The SST-ADV enables unique content on each display device. In conjunction with Helius software packs specifically designed for the SST-ADV, content is managed centrally, eliminating the need to touch each display unit to change or update the visual presentation.
