Mobiquity Networks Announces Compliance With Google's Latest Eddystone Beacon for Chrome

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Feb. 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobiquity Networks, the largest network of retail mall-based mobile advertising beacons in the United States and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. MOBQ, announced today that its beacons are now compliant with Google's latest Eddystone protocol for Chrome.

Mobiquity Networks is bringing the "physical web" to retailers and brands as a turn-key advertising solution. The company will expand the scope of the physical web through its strategic partnerships with premier shopping malls, cinema theaters and publishers so advertisers can quickly scale and turn millions of beacon sightings into advertiser-friendly marketing events. The significance of Mobiquity Networks' Eddystone beacon compliance is that retailers and advertisers can now engage any mobile device with Google's Chrome browser installed -- in addition to engaging retailer or other relevant shopping apps.

"Traditional beacon companies build platforms to manage beacon hardware, but at Mobiquity Networks we have also added our turn-key proximity marketing platform on top. Our campaign platform takes beacon location information and turns it into actionable marketing events that can be utilized by the world's largest advertisers," said Dean Julia, co-CEO of Mobiquity Networks. "This additional layer, plus the massive scale of our beacon footprint in the U.S., is our unique advantage and is at the core of Mobiquity's value."

Mobiquity Networks has exclusive agreements in 475+ premier shopping malls and 300 movie theaters in the U.S to operate its beacon-triggered mobile ad network. The ad network footprint represents 400 million mall shoppers monthly and provides advertisers with the opportunity to deliver targeted marketing messages to shoppers at precisely the right place and time - just as they are deciding which retailers to visit and what brands to buy.

Mobiquity Networks' beacons will have the ability to broadcast in both iBeacon (Apple) and Eddystone (Google) simultaneously.
