BrightSign Llc. is partnering with Convergent Media Systems Corp and Kencast to deliver a platform to distribute and handle media on satellite networks.
Convergent integrated Kencast's software with BrightSign's media players and Kencast's head-end software with BrightSign Network Enterprise Edition to send large files to players via satellite, according to a press release.
Convergent will offer this package as its INSPIREEnterprise digital-signage-as-a-service for a flat monthly fee. Users can access these media files via satellite on a touchscreen display or IR remote control. Convergent also offers custom-branded motion graphic templates, which can be dynamically populated from an web form or data base.
"Now, satellite service providers and their customers can increase the return on their investment in satellite infrastructure by using these networks to support digital signage," said Greg Davis, senior vice president, sales and marketing at Convergent, in the release. "Our INSPIREEnterprise digital signage service enables businesses and government organizations to communicate with their employees more effectively, and thereby increase employee productivity, compliance, safety, morale and retention."
BrightSign is the global market leader in digital signage media players, offering the most reliable, secure and sophisticated solid-state media players on the market today.
