GLOBAL LEAD AS AIM LISTED INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SOLUTIONS PUTS RISC IN THE CITY
Interactive Digital Solutions, the AIM listed software development and licensing company, has set the standard with the first mass installation of a purely digital interactive multi-user recreational and business system. The RISC system went live at the luxurious Somerset apartments in Bishopsgate, London providing digital Internet Protocol Television and other entertainment and business services over Cat5e cable.
Gareth Thomas, Chief Executive of IDS said: "The installation marks the first step in a global roll-out of the RISC System. It will offer a real time demonstration platform for interested parties to view the system in a fully operational environment.
"RISC is being targeted at serviced apartments, hotels, hospitals, holiday chalets/timeshare, cruise liners and local community projects. IDS have a number of international strategic partners to act as distributors of their unique software. With a global upgrade of fibre cabling, IDS is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the advances in the digital communications industry.
"All the major players in telecommunication and streamed entertainment are looking for
value added services to enhance their core products. We have a unique system that we believe is the most advanced of its kind in any arena and therefore extremely attractive to a range of companies."
