ONELAN installs office digital signage network for Avanta

July 27, 2009

Avanta, a company that provides serviced and virtual offices in the United Kingdom and in India, was looking to upgrade the look of its foyers and maintain a consistent look and feel among all of its offices. There was also a need to supply relevant information to customers visiting those offices.

Avanta decided the best course of action was to install a digital signage network. It tapped ONELAN and its Net-Top-Boxes (NTBs) as the solution.

To reach such a large audience base, the screen layout flexibility and scheduling were of high importance to Avanta. ONELAN said the NTBs were a good match, as they allow a screen to be divided up into different zones, which support different media formats such as Live TV feeds, RSS feeds, animations, still images and audio.

A screen and NTB have been placed in the foyers of each of Avanta's office buildings. The screens show live satellite feeds, the latest traffic information, welcome messages and directions to meeting rooms.

"The ONELAN digital signage system has enhanced our profile with our clients and visitors at the various buildings around the U.K. and in India," said David Kinnaird, commercial operations director for Avanta. "The layout of the screen has met with our request for anonymity but subtly includes our corporate colors. Visitors' attention is drawn to the screen with an eye-catching welcoming message and an active screen rather than a static message. Those clients requiring visual representation on the screen are accommodated and they feel that their image has been enhanced with their clients."
