Update – Various

Walmart Mexico recently announced that they would be expanding their Wi-Fi network to all of their 2,339 stores by mid 2018.  The purpose being to collect user data and to promote on-line sales, as well as through their app.  However, their efforts have not demonstrated the results that were expected in the stores that currently have Wi-Fi capabilities.  Walmart executives stated to our reseller's Mexican representatives that their customers don't appear to be willing to give personal information in order to download Walmart's app.  On December 20, a letter of intent was delivered to our reseller committing Walmart Mexico to a paid trial of our Smart Antennas in 20 of stores located in Mexico City and the surrounding metropolitan area.  Expectation is for 5 Smart Antennas to be installed per store, for a total of 100 units.  Further meetings are currently scheduled for January 8.

The advertising company involved with the Mexican bus system is closing their office for the Christmas holidays, reopening on January 3.  Meetings to finalize agreements for Smart Antenna installation and advertising will be held at that time.

Our reseller in Chile is meeting with the security department of a major mining company with 3 mines currently in operation in Chile during the first week of January.  Additionally, our Chilean reseller has recently partnered with a major software, service and integration firm to expand their promotion of our Smart Antenna and technology, specifically SAM technology, with the target being their partner's existing industrial clients. 

Discussions and negotiations between airports and Rich Multimedia Technologies will be continuing throughout the Christmas holiday period as airports do not close their administrative and security offices/departments during the Christmas season.

As previously reported, We Build Apps has incorporated a number of non-iSIGN technologies into their contract with what will be the world's first smart mall.  Based on WBA's most recent update, they are working on converging these multiple solutions into a single unified back-end management and reporting system that co-ordinates, handles and manages all these different software technology systems.
