Keith Kelsen, CEO and chairman of The MediaTile Company said in a statement that with these new connectivity options, their clients can now select the networking option that is best suited to their specific deployments, even if that means a mixed, or hybrid, network option across locations.
Kelsen points out that no matter what the choice, their customers will continue to benefit from highly integrated solutions that are the most robust and easiest to deploy and operate digital signage networks in the industry.
MediaTile expects the new Cellular-to-WiFi option to be a popular favorite among customers including convenience stores and gas stations that need to add an independent network connection easily at each location, and have multiple displays within a close proximity. The company explains that this option delivers an independent and secure network, with maximum placement flexibility and a lowest-cost of operation on a sign-by-sign basis.
The new support for site-based WiFi will benefit the retailers and companies that already have an on-site network, ready access to network specialists who maintain the LAN
, and the bandwidth required to support a promotional digital signage broadcast network.
Customers having the resources to deploy and support a satellite-based IP
network environment at each location can also leverage MediaTile’s newly introduced WiFi support to connect multiple displays within a close proximity.
MediaTile, a provider of cellular-based digital signage networks enables retailers, brands, banks, corporate offices and narrowcasters of all types to deploy and operate digital signage networks in far more places, in much less time, and realize ROI sooner.
