Signs of the Times

(Today's Guest entry comes from Mike Foster, CMO and Co-Founder of MediaTile) 

For everyone interested in how 4G wireless broadband networks will affect the digital signage industry, please visit Digital Signage Today and download the just-released version of the “3G/4G Cellular-based Digital Signage” guide.   As the CMO and Co-Founder of MediaTile I’ve been working closely with Digital Signage Today for the past three years to create these “Cellular” guides to explain both the technical and business advantages of using 3G wireless broadband as the fundamental network for digital signage deployments.  

The new guide includes the latest 4G information and commentary by carriers, users and integrators. With 4G now available in more than 27+ US markets from Sprint, and 4G LTE technology poised for release by end of year, this guide is a must-read for digital signage network customers, operators, deployers and vendors alike.

Here’s what contributing editor Richard Slawsky, of Digital Signage Today, had to say about the impact that 4G will have: “Although 3G networking provided a breakthrough for digital signage, 4G is expected to be the ‘tipping point’ for a new generation of wireless digital signage deployments, as it eliminates any remaining variance between hard wired, high-bandwidth networks.
