Advantages of a Cellular Based Wireless Digital Signage Network

Whether a digital signage network is small or large, one of the biggest problems encountered during the deployment of the network is the supporting infrastructure. Modems, routers, switches, cat-5 cables and everything that goes with the installation and cable runs can be a major hurdle, not to mention having to get the IT department to sign off on anything that touches the existing network. Take that and couple it with the increased bandwidth usage of the existing network and your headaches mount.

Enter a cellular / wireless digital based signage network. A major part of the traditional network equation has been removed. The advantages of a cellular based digital signage network can be immediately recognized. Simply place the monitor and plug into a standard power outlet and it is wirelessly connected to the network. All updates are sent via a wireless 3G signal and signs are maintained without touching the host network.

Advances in existing communications systems are making the deployment of everything from billboard sized advertising to mobile phone sized advertising easier by the day. It is truely exciting to think where we will be in ten years.
