In light of October being a rather scary month, we thought we would highlight 31 reasons not to be afraid of digital signage. We hope you enjoy them. 


Reason #1: Networking

Often times, the scariest letters you can say to a marketer or communicator are "IT." And this is why many get scared off from digital signage. They view it as an IT network, instead of as a communications network. Now there certainly is a role to play for IT with a digital signage network but their involvement can be kept to a minimum. 

With MediaTile's approach to digital signage, you have three options for networking your screens:
  1. Cellular
  2. Wi-Fi
  3. Ethernet (LAN)
In future posts, we'll go through the pros and cons of each of these options. And the best choice is going to depend on each individual company's policies and situations. For many cellular is the best route. Others, Wi-Fi is the way to go. And for some, LAN is the best option. But for all three, security is in place for the network of choice. 

We can work with you to determine the best networking choice when you're looking to launch your signage network. If interested, here's a datasheet that walks through the options.
