New digital door card introduced

June 23, 2016

Digital signage technology provider Keywest Technology announced its third-generation digital door card product, SignWave, according to a company press release.

The SignWave TD10 10-inch LCD display panel includes the integration of BLE beacon and NFC technologies, which enables users to build a communication network that messages customers, visitors or guests in designated hotspot areas.

"Our 3rd generation SignWave is not a step but a leap into the future for our clients. By combining IoT technologies into the digital signage spectrum, we now have the capability to adapt and expand real-time communications for businesses in ways that was previously impossible," said Nick Nichols, president and director of research and development for Keywest Technology.

The SignWave TD10 also uses a new operating system, a widget powered by Keywest Technology's cloud-based Breeze 2.0 digital signage system, the release said. Working as a widget, it can be used as a door card or as a media source within a zone of the Breeze editor. It can also be used in conjunction with the Breeze 2.0 readerboard widget.

SignWave remains compatible with room scheduling enterprise software such as Microsoft Exchange Server/ utlook, Newmarket Delphi EMS, MICROS Fidelio Opera PMS and Dean Evans EMS. SignWave also has support for Google Calendar.

Additionally, the SignWave display housing and components have been revamped to accommodate streamlined installation and practicality, the release said. SignWave's original two-piece design has been combined into a thin, all-in-one display housing with a 1-inch depth. The LCD display now measures 10.1 inches and includes built-in PoE+, a new VESA mount that adheres to multiple surfaces, including glass, and for the first time on SignWave, an LED light bar on each side of the chassis to provide visual cues to meeting room availability.
