Applied Media Technologies Corporation (AMTC) was a Tampa, Florida-based provider of commercial sound equipment, "on hold" messaging to US and Canadian businesses under the brand name TelAdvantage, and provided background music for businesses as a partner of SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
TelAdvantage
AMTC's clients included Allstate Insurance, Morgan Stanley, Spherion and Raymond James Financial. In 2008, the TelAdvantage offering was expanded to include overhead messaging in retail stores and automotive showrooms. AMTC had manufactured two digital MP3 player devices for this purpose, the iQueue 3.5 and the RemoteLink IP. They are also in the final stages of testing with their new device which will control music, video and on hold messaging from the same device eliminating the need for multiple devices separating themselves from other providers.
Sirius Music for Business
Sirius Music for Business is used in hotels, retail stores, automotive dealerships and restaurant chains, including Big Boy Restaurants and Huddle House. In 2006, AMTC executed agreements to install Sirius Business in Yum! Brands, Focus Brands and Wendy's stores, among others. AMTC's SIRIUS offering is featured in many of the same automotive dealerships that sell Sirius in cars, including Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen of America, Volvo, Chrysler, Land Rover, Jaguar, and Mazda among others.
AMTC renewed its contract with Шаблон:Nonsequitur in September 2009 for another three years, shortly after ABMC renewed its own contract with Sirius for the same time period.Шаблон:Citation needed
Commercial sound equipment
In conjunction with its two music offerings, AMTC manufactures branded 70 V and 100 V commercial sound equipment. The product line included amplifiers ranging from 8 W to 1400 W, wired and wireless paging microphones, and an array of speakers, including recess-mount models, surface-mount box speakers, and specialty speakers for outdoor use.
