Digital Signage Today

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 #12: Digital signage hardware

This is one of the areas where I feel MediaTile has changed the game on people. Whereas launching a signage network used to be mess of IT equipment and hardware, it's no longer the case today. We've hung our hats on true "plug and play" digital technology. 

Whether you use cellular, LAN or Wi-Fi to network your screens, you do not need any other equipment on...Read More »

Sprint is showcasing our latest and greatest HumanKiosk solution, powered by MediaCast Video Presence at the CTIA show in San Diego this week.  

Sprint has been one of the carriers supporting our HumanKiosk project – promoting it in their 4G launch events across the country, as a prominent element of their M2M Collaboration Center and in their Enterprise Briefing Center. Now that we’ve officially launched the HumanKiosk, Sprint is one of our eco-system partners helping to get the word to customers through their marketing and sales efforts.

Today is a big day for MediaTile, our customers and our partners.  But it’s an even bigger day for the digital signage industry as a whole.  This morning, we officially launched our HumanKiosk Solution, powered by the revolutionary MediaCast Video Presence system.  With this solution, we are fulfilling consumers’ demand for personal service and contextually relevant and accurate answers exactly when and where they want it: at the point of sale or point of service.  Just as importantly, the solution allows businesses and organizations to provide...

I get to do something today which I think is quite unique. We've been talking to a company for months now about deploying digital signage to help with their employee communications. They are a global manufacturer and are trying to come up with new ways to communicate timely information to their manufacturing workforce. 

This company has asked me to come to them to make a presentation. (This is not unique.) But the meeting is their annual global HR conference (the unique part). They don't want me to present about MediaTile; they want me to...Read More »

Infographics can be found on a variety of very important topics that help tell a story. There are also a lot of infographics for even less important ones. Even an infographic about infographics.

But this is the first infographic I've seen focused on digital signage. It was pulled together by the fine people at Digital Signage Today. It does a great job of showcasing the variety of environments you will see digital screens, as well as the impact they have on viewers and audiences. 

If a picture is worth a thousands words, then I'll keep this...Read More »

In our growing industry, there are quite a few learning opportunities for those looking to pick up some information: white papers, blogs, how-tos, and so forth. And often these are written by companies like ours who have a vested interest in growing the industry. (It's what we do.)

But rarely do you have the chance to hear directly from someone who is running a digital signage network. This is what we provide in our webinars. If you've signed up for one of ours in the past then you've heard from Eli Lilly & Company, Washington Suburban...Read More »

Another incredible milestone for the digital signage industry, for MediaTile, for Verizon, and for our collective communities – which now officially includes “Susie’s Lemonade.” Verizon Wireless has just released the next installment of their nationwide TV ad campaign featuring Susie’s Lemonade as a growing business – and this ad features MediaTile’s cellular digital signage solution in her store! (Look closely and you’ll notice the tell-tale MediaTile antenna.)

It is really great to work with a company like Verizon Wireless, who completely...Read More »

Hands down one of the top markets we are seeing for new digital signage installations is healthcare. And this includes hospitals, medical office buildings and so forth. But their networks are a little different than others because they are much more multi-faceted. 

Often times within the same network, you'll see a hospital (for example) use a network to aid external branding AND internal branding. They're doing customer marketing AND employee communications. They are also using signage to deliver critical health-related messaging to the...Read More »

Every once in a while, it’s a good idea to step back and take in the bigger picture.   Today is one of those days.  Since 2003, MediaTile has been working hard to move “Cellular Digital Signage” into the mainstream market, and today we have more evidence that that is indeed happening.  Here are some recent indicators:

A great article was recently penned by Christopher Hall of Digital Signage Today (DST).  The article chronicles the ever-increasing interest from mainstream carriers, including Verizon, Sprint and AT&T, in 3G and 4G digital...Read More »

Many times there's information I want to share on this blog that doesn't related directly to digital signage so I'll start sharing them in these posts.
