Uniguest, Extreme Networks join forces to simplify digital signage deployments

Uniguest, which provides digital engagement technology, has joined forces with Extreme Networks, an AI-powered automation for networking provider, to simplify the deployment and management of IPTV and digital signage solutions across large-scale networks.

The integration enables media players running on the Hub AV (formerly Tripleplay) platform to automatically identify themselves to Extreme Fabric Attach, enabling network administrators to apply preconfigured policies and automate device provisioning, according to a press release.

The collaboration is relevant for stadiums, arenas and large venues, where reliable delivery of live video, digital signage and venue information across hundreds or thousands of screens is essential.

"Sports venues and enterprises need technology that's not only powerful and reliable, but also straightforward to deploy and manage," Pankaj Kulkarni, EVP of product management at Uniguest, said in the release. "By integrating with Extreme Fabric Attach, we're making it easier for customers to deploy IPTV and digital signage across their networks, while reducing the time and complexity involved in configuring individual devices. Combined with the breadth of our platform, this gives organizations a flexible, scalable solution for managing content across their facilities."
