Retail Customer Experience magazine recognizes Nivis’
‘Remarkable’ e-Signage solution presented at NRF 2008 (02/04/08)

As reported in the article "NRF 08: emphasis on ‘green’ " in the January 22, 2008 online issue of Retail Customer Experience, "At the Fujitsu pavilion, a truly remarkable technology was on display, and the very thing that makes it so remarkable also made it inherently easy to overlook. Partner company Nivis demonstrated its electronic-ink-based signs, small black-and-white price displays that truly look like paper signs. The technology comes from Bridgestone, and uses mesh networking to disseminate information from one sign to another.

Here’s the remarkable bit: these signs are "stateless", meaning that once they display an image, they no longer require power to maintain that image. The result is a scalable network of digital pricing displays, all remotely managed, with a battery life of about five years."
