Steljes is one of our international partners and one of their employees, Neil Deakin, went on a 24-hour road trip around the UK with our cellular digital signage. And considering all he needed was a 3G cellular connection for the signage, he could take it anywhere he wanted. All he needed was his laptop to change and update content on the fly during his trip.
Initially I had asked Neil to do a guest blog post about his trip. But rather than read what he said, why not just watch this video? It will be interesting to see if he will do complete another challenge with our technology. Because while our stuff worked on the trip, it sounds like the trip wore Neil out.
Direct from Neil:
"On September 1 to demonstrate the; power, ease of use and flexibility of MediaTile, Matt Richardson and I set off on the Me&MyMediatile 24hr road trip challenge. The aim was to visit as many UK locations as possible over a 24hr period, updating content to the MediaTile screen in the back of our car at each stop. This was possible due to MediaTile being a cloud based digital signage solution. Content was created in and distributed the player from MediaCast, their web portal. The player received content over the 3G data network and then played out to the display.

Our trip started at the Angel of the North in Gateshead north east England and routed through Scotland crossing the forth bridge before progressing up to Dundee. A scenic twilight section led us back into England traveling through Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales.
As night fell we ventured onto Manchester, through the Midlands and into Wales. The sun began to rise as we entered London passing through Westminster. The final leg took us to Brighton on the south coast as the sun broke through the morning mist. Finally we arrived at Steljes HQ in Bagshot 938 miles and 24hrs after leaving the Angle of the North."
