MINNEAPOLIS –March 26, 2008 –Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNIN), a Minneapolis-based worldwide digital signage provider and Digital Signage Sponsor of GlobalShop 2008, together with its customers KFC and Reuters, announced today it was honored with two silver digital signage awards by Point-of-Purchase Advertising International (POPAI) during its 50th annual Outstanding Merchandising Achievements (OMA) awards ceremony held on March 19th.

             

“We are very honored to be recognized for our work again this year by the point-of-purchase industry through the POPAI association,” said Jeffrey Mack, president and CEO of digital signage provider, Wireless Ronin. “This year celebrated the association’s 50th year of recognizing point of purchase innovation and for digital signage to play such a large role in the awards shows the penetration this technology is showing in the industry.”

             

In the Hospitality/Entertainment category Wireless Ronin, along with KFC, received the top award for digital signage networks. KFC was awarded for their ability to seamlessly integrate RoninCast® digital signage menu boards into their in-store environments. Using the same in-store space that has been used for traditional menu boards, KFC is now able to utilize digital signage to enhance their menu board advertising with video and animation, while easily updating pricing and product offerings from a central location.

In the Government/Education/Corporation Network category Wireless Ronin and Reuters received a silver award for the InfoPoint program.
