PRINCETON and KENILWORTH, NJ October 25, 2005 - Dedicated to making information more conveniently accessible than ever for consumers and employees on the go, SES AMERICOM, the leading satellite-delivered enterprise solutions provider in North America, and Diversified Media Group, an innovative network connectivity integrator, today unveiled a content rich satellite distribution network set to revolutionize the delivery of advertising and business television.
The Diversified Media Group enterprise solutions platform, based on SES AMERICOM’s AMC-6 satellite, enables the reliable and secure distribution of a broad range of communications offerings, including digital signage, which puts video- and new media-based ads on high resolution screens in front of retail consumers as they purchase and enjoy all types of services – from fast food to travel.
Corporations and retail businesses can also tap the power of new age, satellite-delivered data network, broadband, business continuity, and content streaming services, which are transforming offerings like business television by delivering it over an IPTV network to where busy employees need it most, the desktop. ,/p>
