Wisconsin college deploys digital signage

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Chippewa Valley Technical College announced it is deploying an Internet-based digital signage system hosted by StrandVision LLC. The college activated digital signs at two locations on its main campus and at its Gateway campus over the spring break. The college plans six more deployments at other campuses over the summer.

The installation replaces networked personal computers that displayed a home-grown system that was similar to a repeating Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The digital signage system uses 42-inch LCD and plasma screens that are strategically placed on the campuses based on student traffic patterns. The rollout follows a three-month pilot installation at the Eau Claire campus.
