crisis communication - the old fashioned way Crisis planning is one of those efforts that most companies do but hope they never have to enact.  I've been a part of many crisis and business continuity teams where everybody has the classic red binder that nobody thinks will ever get used.

Most of our digital signage network owners know exactly what type of content they want to put on their screens. For banks, it's put up the latest promotional messaging to reinforce their brand. Hospitals? They want to reinforce their brand just like banks, but also add in softer health-related messages. And corporate communication networks are never in shortage of content.

Friday, January 28, 2011

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.
