With instant-on connectivity, TouchTunes systems using Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE will have lower deployment costs and on-demand access to TouchTunes' rich entertainment and advertising media.
"We're proud to work with Verizon Wireless as it launches its next generation of high-speed mobile networks," said Michael Tooker, senior vice president of technology at TouchTunes. "The breakthrough performance of Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network will seamlessly connect users to our vast music catalog and our advertising partners to their target audience."
At CES, TouchTunes will demonstrate an LTE connected jukebox and LTE connected TouchTunesTV system, as well as its new myTouchTunes Mobile app for the Android platform. Visitors will be able to use the Mobile app to browse and search for music, access their personal playlists, play music from the jukebox, automatically post their plays to Facebook® and Twitter(TM), and more. Commercial availability of 4G LTE supported TouchTunes jukeboxes and TouchTunesTV screens will closely follow the rollout of LTE devices. The myTouchTunes Mobile Android app will be available through V CAST Apps, Verizon Wireless' mobile storefront shortly.
