Today, in a joint press release with Verizon Wireless, we announced support for 4G LTE on the commercial release of the HumanKiosk solution, powered by MediaCast Video Presence.  Since 2004 we’ve been working with Verizon Wireless to bring the advantages of “cellular digital signage” to our customers and partners – today we’re excited to have Verizon Wireless on board as an official eco-system partner for our revolutionary HumanKiosk and MediaCast Video Presence solution.

By leveraging the 4G LTE network, MediaTile extends its lead in delivering innovative, interactive digital signage solutions that transform traditional B2C communications into B2Me engagement.  The HumanKiosk does just this – it is the fusion of interactive digital signage with on-demand, virtual experts and face-to-face interaction.  With the integration of Verizon’s fast and reliable 4G LTE network, the HumanKiosk supports secure, high-definition, two-way face-to-face video conversations with nothing more than a power source on site.

You can read the full release here, but here are some quick facts about Verizon Wireless 4G LTE and the HumanKiosk from the announcement:  The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is the nation’s fastest, most reliable 4G network, covering more than 165 markets and providing speeds up to 10 times faster than Verizon Wireless’ 3G network.  The HumanKiosk is a result of collaboration fostered at Verizon Wireless’ LTE Innovation Center in Waltham, Mass. The LTE Innovation Center and the Verizon’s Innovation Program (www.innovation.verizon.com) provide an environment for diverse companies to work together to develop innovative products that leverage 4G LTE technology.  

Brian Higgins, vice president, Network Technology at Verizon Wireless had this to say:  “By combining the advantages of the HumanKiosk with the power and speed of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, in-field marketing and customer service can be changed dramatically.”   For more on the HumanKiosk solution visit our website here.  And if you haven’t yet seen our launch video yet, you can view it on youtube here.
