The Super Bowl is less than two weeks away and MediaTile will be there. . . sort of. Let me explain.
MediaTile is headquartered out of California, but I live and work in Indianapolis, this year's host of the Super Bowl. It's been a point of pride for the city ever since the NFL announced Indy as the host for the big game.
Well now it's here and we're ready show off the city. The Super Bowl Host Committee asked me and 45 other local social media enthusiasts to join its #Social46 crew. Our task is helping spread the word about all of the great events going on in the city and improving communication to our networks, leading up to the matchup between the Giants and Patriots.
They are calling this year's game the most urban is history, thanks to Lucas Oil Stadium's great downtown location. And we are working to also make it the most connected in history. Mashable has written about the Social Media Command Center, which we will all have access to.
If you're on Twitter and either heading to the Super Bowl or just want to check out what's going on, be sure to follow #social46 and share anything with your network that are helpful or interesting.
So what does this have to do with digital signage or MediaTile? Nothing, except that I work here. But one of MediaTile's partners, Verizon Wireless, is making news with its 4G LTE network. Our digital signage hardware, including the HumanKiosk, can all run on Verizon's super fast network.
A few years back when Indy hosted the Final Four, it was nearly impossible to send out a call or text due to the bandwidth crunch from tens of thousands of visitors.
Now with hundreds of thousands coming into town, Verizon is doing its part to help. As this Super Bowl is the first with 4G LTE, Verizon is prepared for its customers by adding all sorts of extra bandwidth. This makes me happy since I have a Verizon Wireless MiFi device.
Check out this video from Gotta Be Mobile for more details on Verizon's work.
