MediaTile - The World's First Provider of Cellular Digital Signage™
In 2004, MediaTile released the world's first integrated, cellular-based digital signage solution. The result - a true breakthrough in the digital signage industry. For the first time ever, a digital signage network could be deployed and operated without requiring an on-site network connection.
With this breakthrough, MediaTile expanded the overall market potential for digital signage networks. Integrators, brands, retailers and narrowcasters of all kinds are now free to deploy signage networks virtually anywhere.
MediaTile integrates cellular-based broadband internet support into each MediaTile display. With this capability, MediaTile devices come with their own built-in, and highly secure internet connection. MediaTiles use their internal network to periodically upload log files of what has been played, and to receive new content, playlists and schedules. The core technology to support this capability is provided by leading telecommunication companies including VerizonWireless, VodaFone, Bell Canada, B-Mobile and many other providers around the globe. MediaTile devices support GSM and CDMA cellular networks. In fact, they even support standard on-site networks if available.
By integrating a cellular-based network connection into each device, MediaTile has eliminated the number one barrier to deploying a digital signage network -- the setup and ongoing management of a network at each location. MediaTile's unique "cellular-approach" gives companies unparalleled business flexibility and advantages.
By having complete independence from an on-site network MediaTile opens up new opportunites for many companies. In retail environments, for example, product vendors added MediaTile systems to their end-cap displays in retail chain stores. This gave product vendors the unheard of ability to have a virtual broadcast network that they could control and operate at their will.
