AMTC's clients include 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 manufactures two digital MP3 player devices for this purpose, the iQueue 3.5 and the RemoteLink IP.
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 (A&W, Long John Silver's, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell), FOCUS Brands (Carvel, Cinnabon, Schlotzsky's and Moe's Southwest Grill) 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 ABMC in September 2009 for another three years, shortly after ABMC renewed its own contract with Sirius for the same time period.
AMTC began offering a new Internet-based music service, Eos Music, provided by Eos Music Corporation, in May 2009. In collaboration with Eos, AMTC developed two proprietary player devices to deliver the Eos service, the Eclipse (a standalone media player requiring the customer to update music and messaging periodically using a SecureDigital card and a personal computer), and the Horizon (a store-and-forward Ethernet-based device). Both devices deliver AMTC's messaging content and the Eos music service on the same device.
In conjunction with its two music offerings, AMTC manufactures branded 70V and 100V commercial sound equipment. The product line includes amplifiers ranging from 8W to 1400W, wired and wireless paging microphones, and an array of speakers, including recess-mount models, surface-mount box speakers, and specialty speakers for outdoor use.
