Phone Italia, a custom smartphone-charging station manufacturer, integrates its charging stations with WebDT Content Manager 6 Pro software to display digital signage advertisements, movies, photos and real-time news at the charging stations, according to an announcement from WebDT.

The charging stations, called "Leonardo," can be attached to a wall or be free-standing and have screens for digital signage, and contain several locked keyless compartments for charging smartphones. Dynamic interactive content is displayed on the LCD attached to these charging stations, which are placed in public locations such as malls, transportation hubs, gyms, cafes and convenience markets, the company said.

All of the Leonardo stations are equipped with 23-inch touchscreens, and the players inside are integrated with DT Research's WebDT Content Manager, enabling Phone Italia staff to remotely manage and publish the targeted content. The WCM software also provides playback status and detailed reports for billing. Each unit has a built-in Wi-Fi router that offers a free hot spot, and users can access their account with the fingerprint reader.

The WebDT Content Manager 6 Pro software provides inclusive tools for the manager to schedule and create layout designs for the media files displayed on the digital signs. With WebDT Content Manager 6 Pro, the staff from Phone Italia can manage how and when content files are played on the charging stations and when content is loaded, increasing staff and bandwidth efficiency, the company said.
