Jaco Electronics, Inc, a global distributor and integrator of electronic components and customized flat panel display (FPD) solutions, and provider of value-added logistics services, and DT Research, a leading developer of information appliances for vertical markets, today announced a partnership with Image Base International (IBI), a digital signage integrator and interactive media company. This partnership has resulted in all three companies securing the digital signage contract for Portland’s International Airport – including state-of-the-art kiosks. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Jaco’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joel Girsky, stated, “We are very excited about partnering with two digital signage leaders on the Portland Airport contract, and look forward to forging a long and mutually beneficial relationship in one of the most dynamic areas of FPD deployment. The digital signage sector is an area of focus, growth and importance for Jaco as we are uniquely positioned in the industry as a supplier, designer and integrator.”

“As such, we recently named Joe Fijak as Jaco’s Vice President of Business Strategy and Marketing – Display & Embedded Computer Solutions. In this capacity, Joe will oversee this segment of our Display Solutions business, and manage Jaco’s partner relationships in this area. Joe has been with Jaco since 2004, and brings a wealth of related knowledge, expertise and relationships to our Company, augmented by 27 years of industry experience.”

“A digital signage system significantly enhances the airport experience,” said Dr. Daw Tsai, president of DT Research. “Digital signs can provide airport travelers with accurate, up-to-the-minute flight, gate and baggage claim information. Travelers can watch dynamic advertising while waiting for the next flight. Interactive kiosks provide rapid access to specific content for travelers in a hurry. We look forward to working with Jaco, Image Base International and Alliance Airport Advertising in offering dynamic communications to travelers within the Portland International Airport.”

Commenting on the Portland Airport agreement, Image Base International (IBI) President and Co-founder Catherine Oaks, added, “Digital signage is a particularly effective medium for attention-getting advertising, especially when you are able to reach a captive audience, such as airport travelers who often spend a considerable amount of time waiting. When Alliance Airport Advertising (AAA) approached us about creating large flat panel screens for their main concourse and interactive, informational kiosks to enhance the baggage claim area, we were pleased to have the opportunity to bring in Jaco to manage the sales procurement and logistics process and DT Research for their hardware and software implementation expertise. Going forward, we will continue to proactively seek similar and related projects we can all collaborate on, and have already submitted several proposals.”
