The company has been developing digital signage technology for the past year and a half, and now accounts for 6% of their revenue stream. This year at CES the company debuted a new luggage tag system that will allow travelers more flexibility to track checked baggage. The tags are made of low-power E Ink screen technology that feature RFID for tracking and Bluetooth for information updates. Users can use an upcoming app to program in flight information and connector flights.
