StrandVision adds animated weather graphics to digital signage

November 1, 2006

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — StrandVision LLC, a provider of Internet-based digital signage services, is now including animated radar weather maps as part of its online information package.

The no-charge service for U.S. subscribers supplements StrandVision's locally sourced digital-signage content, which can include advertising, photographs, graphics, hours of operation, employee news, etc. StrandVision's standard package of automated information feeds includes local and national news, weather, and currency rates. Other specialized optional feeds also are available.

The new service supplements StrandVision's text forecasts with full-color weather maps that show a looped weather animation similar to the Doppler radar sequence. Forecasts and radar maps are updated every 10 minutes. Organizations, such as distributors or retail outlets with installations in multiple locations, can select to have the appropriate local maps and forecasts automatically displayed based on zip codes.
