GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Oct. 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. MOBQ ("Mobiquity" or "the Company"), which has created a leading national location-based mobile advertising network in malls, has extended its reach to college campuses through an initial deal with Stony Brook University.

Users of the Stony Brook mobile app will receive contextual information and promotions through the Mobiquity Networks' beacon network. Fans of Stony Brook that don't yet have a Stony Brook app will be able to engage using Mobiquity's multi-technology platform, which includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, QR codes and Near-Field Communications (NFC).

At Stony Brook, the technology will be employed in the newly renovated Stony Brook Arena. The deployment will help the university fulfill its mission of transforming the athletic facility into a showcase for Long Island athletic and cultural events.

The 40,000 square foot arena, fresh with $21.1 million in renovations, features a variety of design enhancements including a new bowl seating configuration to provide an intimate atmosphere for more than 4,000 spectators; modern arena video technology to enhance fan experience; a new competition basketball court and improved practice courts; and enhanced fan amenities including new concessions, restrooms and an expanded concourse.

"The fan experience will be the best in the school's history, and we're pleased to be a part of it," said Michael Trepeta Co-CEO of Mobiquity Technologies. "Beyond that, Stony Brook University will have the opportunity to work with select and appropriate advertisers who would have a new way to reach a highly-targeted demographic of college students."

Mobiquity Technologies already has a leading national location-based mobile advertising network in malls. The Mobiquity Network includes 100 of the premier U.S shopping malls and will grow to more than 240 in the coming months. The network presently covers nearly 3,000 unique retailers with over 15,000 storefronts.
