We’ll be demoing the new system, which our engineers internally refer to as “mini-me,” in booth #712 at this week’s CETW (Consumer Engageme...

vzw snowmanThis week the West region of Verizon Wireless held their 4G LTE kickoff event in Denver and while guest speaker Mark Schlereth was a big attraction (both literally and figuratively), the speed of Verizon's 4G LTE network was front and center. It's this same speed, coupled with increased bandwidth, which allowed MediaTile to develop and deliver our Human Kiosk featuring video presence.

Speed is the key ingredient insuring there is limited lag in the peer-to-peer video exchange taking place on the MediaTile unit. Speed also gets that video call...

After only one day at CES demonstrating our MediaCast Video Presence platform on multiple HumanKiosk solutions, we’ve been told repeatedly that it’s truly impressive.  But what makes the solution so compelling is having the remote MarketStar on-call video attendants available to answer real questions, and in a number of different languages.  And all through the magic of 4G networks from Alcatel-Lucent, Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
