TORONTO, CANADA — June 3, 2008 — GuestLogix Inc. (TSX-V:GXI), the leading provider of onboard retail systems to the airline industry, today announced that it has expanded its Mobile Virtual Store™ solution to support in-flight broadband connectivity. When processing passenger transactions using GuestLogix' technology platform, operators can securely use their connection of choice, including the new in-flight broadband services from Air Cell and Row 44, WiFi, cellular, infrared, Bluetooth, and RFID.
"GuestLogix is committed to ensuring that our Mobile Virtual Store™ platform is compatible with the latest state-of-the-art connectivity options," said Tom Douramakos, President & CEO at GuestLogix. "As operators introduce Internet onboard, increase in-flight entertainment and merchandising, and unbundle services from traditional fares, our Mobile Virtual Store™ platform enables them to readily capture new profitable revenue streams. Our solution supports virtually all the connection permutations operators require during pre-boarding, at the seat, and arrival activities."
The GuestLogix Mobile Virtual Store™ platform includes advanced secure mobile payment devices, POS software and on-demand back office applications that allow operators to plan, sell, promote, track and analyze sales. The platform fully integrates with operators' web sites, onboard in-seat screen/server based environments, and back office applications, including frequent flyer and gift card programs, accounting, ERP, and logistics. The GuestLogix retail system enables airline operators to move into onboard retailing in as little as a month, depending on fleet size.
"The combination of our deep experience in the designing of mobile POS terminals and our supporting software infrastructure, ideally positions GuestLogix to introduce universal connect technology to our customer base," said Steve MacDonald, Chief Technology Officer at GuestLogix. "From hardware configuration, microcode, device operating system and application code to secure transmission over TCP/IP all the way through to our geographically distributed, high-availability Service Oriented Architecture back office, GuestLogix has mastered the full technical gamut for a 21st century 'purchase anywhere' platform."
