Helius and Partners to Demonstrate Self Service Kiosk Infrastructure

Together Companies will deliver End-to-End Kiosk Solutions for Billion Dollar Industry

LINDON, UT - October 23, 2003 -- Helius Inc., the worldwide leader in business class data broadcasting solutions, announced today a series of self-service kiosk infrastructure technology to be demonstrated at the FS/TEC industry tradeshow in Long Beach, CA October 26-29, 2003. Working with key partners Vultron Technologies, Broadcast International and Microspace Communications Helius will demonstrate the ability to manage and report real-time activities at self service kiosks.

According to IHL Consulting Group’s study, “Self-Service Kiosks in North America,” the North American market will spend more than $155 Billion at self-service kiosks in 2003. This number is predicted to grow to more than $900 Billion by 2007, according to the same study.
" Self-Service technologies are pervading all aspects of our lives in North America today," said Greg Buzek, President of IHL Consulting Group.

" Self-Checkout systems at the supermarket, ticketing kiosks for transportation and entertainment and new self-service technologies being introduced into Fast Food/Quick Service are rapidly growing in acceptance. The growth rate is dramatically accelerating in the retail, transportation and government sectors as a way to lower transaction costs."

“ To maximize the value and service delivery of a self-service kiosk, an organization needs to have reliable full-time connectivity and the ability to update and control the content offered in real-time,” said Mike Tippets Sr. VP of Marketing at Helius. “Using the end-to-end solution offered by Helius and our partners, an organization will deploy a network of self-service kiosks rapidly and keep the content as fresh as necessary to maximize customer satisfaction.”
