HOUSTON TX., Mar. 6, 2008 -- Data Call Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: DCLT.OB), the largest supplier of live content feeds for digital signage and one of the Digital Signage Industry's pioneers in dynamic content, as promised, displayed its latest addition to their product offering. Through an exclusive agreement with Astralis Telemedia, Data Call is now positioned to offer 30 second localized video news clips provided by national television news affiliates.
The Digital Signage Expo was held in Las Vegas on Feb. 26th thru Feb 28th. Sponsors included Wireless Ronin (NASDAQGM: RNIN), BroadSign, Scala, Cisco (NASDAQGS: CSCO), Planar, and Prism, to name a few.
Data Call Technologies, a premier Information content provider in the Digital signage market, impressively supported its partners with Data Call’s news and information feeds, enhancing screens throughout the show floor. Partners such as AMX, BroadSign, ChyTV (AMEX: CGS), Helius, Planar and Scala all displayed the value add to their products at the show as many came to Data Call’s booth inquiring about the infotainment product they were viewing in multiple instances across the show floor.
"We literally had hundreds of inquiries and expect to broaden our customer base as a direct result from our display at the Expo. Great Show. We have been working closely with Astralis to present this new offering, and the response was quite positive as expected," said Ed Kessing, Vice President.
"Data Call has become a synonymous word for vibrant content in the Digital Signage Industry. I was quite taken aback with the enthusiasm of those as they approached our booth. We have attended numerous trade shows and have been successful in building the strong relationships with pioneers of this industry. At the show, someone commented to me, and I have since adopted the statement--Digital Signage is comparable to the Gold Rush. Many got very wealthy and a large portion gave it everything and returned less successful. But the guys that really made out were the blacksmiths making the pick axes…Data Call is moving some pick axes and shovels. As the public has now become aware of the elements to deploy a successful digital signage effort, one being the 'need for the feed' I observed that these individuals were indeed searching for Data Call at the show. They were elated to find us. I am quite proud of the efforts of our team as well as our partners and can honestly state that I am excited of our destiny," stated Tim Vance, COO.
"I was proud to feature our new business partner, Astralis as this brought even more excitement to our booth. Additionally, the Leightronix product was spotlighted as well and sparked a large interest in the PEG attendees. I am quite pleased with the significant momentum that the leadership team at Data Call has acquired. The reception was great and also provided a forum for our shareholders to view our dynamic range of products on display. I look forward to the results of the Expo," Stated Jim Ammons, CEO.

POPULARITY OF DIGITAL BILLBOARDS NOT PRICED INTO DATA CALL
SEEKINGALPHA.COM, Oct. 29, 2007 (Kishore Jethanandani) -- Digital signage, which in essence is out-of-home TV, brings media content and advertising to viewers—to their retail stores, taxi cabs, buses, trucks, airports, parks and conference centers. The large LED or plasma screens are familiar to buyers at retail stores like Best Buy. Content streaming on these TVs in stores, sports stadiums or conference halls are going to become a lot more familiar. The content does not have to come from a broadcasting station; it can be drawn from video content sites, the Internet or be user-generated.
Narrowcasting, one of the buzzwords in the industry, suggests that the content and the advertisements can be customized to appeal to the specific audience being served.
The users of digital signage technologies can apply them in a variety of creative ways. Imagine somebody window-shopping while waiting for a friend to arrive. He could look at a LED screen at a real-estate broker’s office after hours. The screen could be showing pictures of properties for sale in the neighborhood. If the shopper likes one, he could pull out his mobile phone and use the code on the screen to request detailed information on the listing. Instead of wasting time, this person has completed a chore and the real estate broker did business at home!
Broadcast or cable TV is one of the most expensive means to advertise. According to the 2007 figures from Media Dynamics, the cost of a single impression of an advertisement on TV is $15.20 compared to $5.20 for newspapers. Billboards, on the other hand, cost as low as $2.15. However, outdoor advertising accounts for one of the lowest shares of advertising expenditures. According to figures of TNS Media Intelligence, expenditures on outdoor advertising in the first half of 2007 was $1.9 billion out of a total of $72.5 billion on all types of advertising. By contrast, a total of $31.6 billion were spent on all kinds of TV media.
Outdoor advertising has always been seen as a means to increase awareness of a brand instead as a method of promotion. The inability to measure the impact of outdoor advertising, or out-of-home advertising in general, was the major barrier to higher allocations of ad dollars. Digital signage, combined with GPS technologies or tracking by time-of-day, can help to measure the impact of out-of-home advertising. Retail stores, for example, keep track of the time period over which an advertisement was displayed and correlate it with the subsequent sales at the counter. Citi-mobile, which specializes in truck side advertising, uses GPS devices to keep track of the locations that vehicles pass.
Typically, the advertisements displayed are sponsored by local merchants; the GPS data helps to determine the neighborhoods which responded well to the commercial. The growth of digital signage in USA and throughout the world confirms that outdoor advertising is gaining traction. Expenditures on alternative out-of-home advertising in USA, according to Leo Kivijarv of PQ Media, increased by 25.6% in 2005 and by 27% in 2006. Digital billboards and displays increased by 55.4% in 2006 at $233.2 million.
Out-of-home TV has an edge in the display of short-form content such as breaking news, highlights of sporting events, and local events such as a fire in the vicinity. It also has an edge in context TV. For example, an expo can use digital signage for keeping participants informed about important personalities at the venue.
While sorting potential companies for investment, we came across two types of them. A few, like Focus Media (Nasdaq: FMCN), Lamar Advertising (NasdaqGR: LAMR) and Daktronics (Nadaq:DAKT) are already successful and their stocks fully priced. Focus Media, a Chinese company, which recently floated an ADR, has appreciated 100% at a peak of $60 over the last year. Lamar Advertising peaked at a five year high of $70 dollars in January ‘07 and has been range bound since then and Daktronics appreciated 400% at $40 between December 2005 and December 2006 and has been range bound since then. These companies can be considered if their prices consolidate at lower levels.
The other choices are among a number of penny stocks much harder to figure out. We found Data Call Technologies, a digital signage software company, an attractive possibility. Its 52 week price range has been $0.04 and $1.05. Currently, it trades at about $0.08. Revenue numbers currently are modest at $58,000 in 2006 and are expected to be $162,425 in 2007.
According to an analyst Kris Gupta, the revenues are expected to leap by 460% in 2008. What lends credibility to these estimates is Data Call’s collaboration with 3M (MMM), a long-standing leader in static outdoor advertising and NEC Display Solutions which is building a digital signage ecology. In addition, Data Call has tied up with important networks to get access to customers. It has collaboration with Arena Media Networks, a sports and entertainment TV network. With its collaboration with AdTekMedia, it has access to digital signage at gas stations on top of pumps.

HOUSTON, Oct. 3, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- On September 25, 2007, Data Call Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:DCLT.OB) and LEIGHTRONIX, Inc. entered into an Exclusive Marketing Agreement, pursuant to which Data Call provided LEIGHTRONIX the exclusive rights to market its Direct Lynk Messenger System™ to PEG’s. Today more than ever, municipalities, educators and public access entities are leveraging television channels to inform, educate, and promote their communities. These "PEG" (Public Access, Educational Access, and Government Access) Channels are being transformed with new digital video technology into a high quality, high visibility information portal that includes hometown news, local event coverage, educational programming, local arts programming, and local government project updates. This new technology also provides an incredibly powerful tool for Emergency Messaging, a way of instantly placing emergency messages over standard programming. The agreement between Data Call and LEIGHTRONIX, unites the best in PEG digital video systems with the best in fresh content.
PEG access is a government mandate that provides television production equipment, training, and airtime on a local cable system so members of the public, the educational system, and the government can produce their own shows and televise them to a mass audience.
Equipment available for public access broadcasting is evolving quickly. At its birth, the state-of-the-art PEG facilities were composed of racks full of analog tape decks and an automated video switching system. Recently, the low cost of digital production and distribution equipment, such as cameras, non-linear editing systems, digital video playback servers and new Internet technologies have made digital content production the norm. Additionally, the rapidly dropping cost of digital production and distribution gear has changed the way many PEG facilities operate.
LEIGHTRONIX is the leader in the PEG server industry, with thousands of systems in operation today. LEIGHTRONIX also provides powerful, cost-effective digital video solutions for:
- Campus Communications;
- Hospital Patient Education and Staff Training;
- Onboard Communications (Cruise Ships);
- Large Scale Corporate Communications Networks;
- Hotel/Motel/Restaurant Channels;
- Cable Television in Private Communities;
- Religious Broadcasters;
- Video Communications In Correctional Facilities;
- Video Communications For Government Installations; and
- Training Systems used in Homeland Security.
For over 25 years LEIGHTRONIX has provided powerful, affordable, and reliable video playback, recording, and automated switching solutions. LEIGHTRONIX solutions are being used 24/7/365 in a wide variety of applications.
Jim Ammons, CEO of Data Call, had the following to say about the agreement, "I’m really excited about the oppurtunity this agreement brings DataCall and Leightronix. With this powerful relationship, our information has the avenue to outreach even further in the ever exploding Digital Signage market."
Stated David Leighton, President of LEIGHTRONIX, "Now our customers can enjoy the benefits of a fully integrated ‘TV station in a box,’ with scheduled digital video playback, DVD player control, switching, and now the power of Data Call’s incredible content, without having to worry about integrating and managing multiple devices."

SussexBank is a diversified financial services corporation based in Franklin Borough, New Jersey that serves a wide range of commercial and residential customers across Sussex County, NJ, Orange County, NY and Pike and Wayne Counties in PA.
In addition, ZeroIn Media is currently installing their product, utilizing Data Call's feeds and Scala software, in numerous branches of six additional non-disclosed financial institutions. ZeroIn Media utilizes a secure and sophisticated web-based network to control and monitor the overall network and to update content. Unlike broadcast TV which sends the same programming to all locations and a static sign that can't be updated at all, their network allows each location to be scheduled differently based on day, time and demographic. Via the Internet, their network further allows them to offer their clients the unprecedented flexibility to regularly update the clients' spots to promote last minute sales, bank rates, special events or to keep consistent with other simultaneous media campaigns.
Mitchell Goss, VP of Sales and Operations of ZeroIn Media states, "We are excited about our partnership with DataCall. Our successful integration of their feeds into our client's bank network further reinforces our position as a true market leader."
Jim Ammons, President and CEO of Data Call states, "I am quite excited in working with ZeroIn Media in their future deployments and the growth of our relationship."
