Webpavement Digital Signage Enables Campus Screen Network

Webpavement powers The University of Houston - Downtown digital signage network

Atlanta, GA, December 6, 2004 - Webpavement announced today that The University of Houston -- Downtown (UHD) has selected Webpavement digital signage solutions for the implementation of its Campus Screen Network.

The Campus Screen Network includes large format NEC/Mitsubishi LCD displays strategically placed in high traffic areas throughout the campus. Webpavement media players drive dynamic content across the network of NEC/Mitsubishi LCD displays. University users schedule content for playback on the Campus Screen Network using the popular Webpavement Sign Server, a powerful web-based system for advanced content management, scheduling and performance reporting. University users access the Webpavement Sign Server, located in UHDs data center, via the UHD local area network.

Steve Cachia of UHD commented on why Webpavements digital signage solutions were chosen over other competitive offerings. We spent a great deal of time canvassing the digital signage landscape for the right products. Webpavement was the clear choice in meeting all our requirements."

Specific UHD requirements included: the solution must be intuitive to even novice users, the solution must be easily accessed by University users without the need to install and update client software (i.e. web-based), the solution must employ security to restrict/permit individual users access to schedule content to individual signs in the network, the solution must leverage existing infrastructure, the solution must support a variety of media formats, and the solution must be available for installation in the UHD data center.

Cachia remarked further, Webpavements digital signage solutions are well ahead of other competitive offerings and their extensive knowledge of the technologies involved was a big help in our planning stages." John Moezzi of Webpavement noted, We are pleased to add UHD to our growing list of digital signage customers in the education field. UHDs selection of Webpavement after diligent research in the marketplace, affirms our position as the clear leader in digital signage solutions."
