United States : Hughes Launches Enhancements to HughesON Digital Media Solutions for Government [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes), the global leader in broadband satellite solutions and a leading provider of managed network services, today announced enhancements to its HughesON Digital Media Solutions for Government platform. These new capabilities increase social media integration, enable low-cost cloud services for content storage and expand emergency notification functionality. According to a Pew Research Center report 1 , 73 percent of adults online use a social media networking site. That means public sector agencies have the opportunity to reach nearly 75 percent of citizens online to share information, ranging from instructions during disasters to the status of public initiatives, by employing new generation digital media solutions. I am proud to offer the benefits of HughesON Digital Media Solutions to the government market, said Tony Bardo, assistant vice president of Government Solutions at Hughes. "HughesON's social media platform enables agencies to cut through the content aggregation process and focus instead on the content itself. This approach provides citizens more efficient access to their government, resulting in transparency and an informed public." Social media is an integrated part of HughesON Digital Media Solutions and the enhancements bring a full slate of features to more effectively access Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr, Google+ and Instagram. Easy-to-use templates and HTML5 make for rapid creation of social media feeds, enabling agencies to deliver relevant content based on location. Hughes was an early adopter of cloud-based storage and distribution services, and the latest enhancements include the option to use Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) with the full suite of HughesON Digital Signage Solutions. Using the cloud for content storage and access simplifies operational management and resource requirements. HughesON Digital Media Solutions also includes an existing base of valuable experience proven in the private sector and used to create vibrant digital signage that incorporates relevant social media posts and interactive mediums. This attention-grabbing signage is ready for use in motor vehicle departments, public hospitals, universities, correctional facilities and other public sector organizations that have traditionally struggled to disseminate valuable information. When urgent situations arise, agencies need to react quickly and provide accurate and timely information to citizens, first responders and other agencies, added Bardo. Our solution now allows the use of unique messages on each screen or group of screens, making the messages relevant to the precise location and situation. (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
