Signature Technologies, Inc. announced that it completed its deployment of the ArrowCast® Enterprise Display System at Miami University, recently ranked 26th among top public universities in the nation on the 2009 U.S. News & World Report college rankings list. “The ArrowCast system allows us to reach our students and faculty quicker and more effectively than ever before, with communal content that allows for easy sharing between users,” commented Dave Beitz, Miami University Manager of Network Services. “It is user-friendly, with a web-based application that makes it easy to get campus updates out quickly with a cohesive look for the university.”
Signature Technologies installed the first set of flat panel LCD displays for this innovative campus communication tool at Miami’s main campus in Oxford, Ohio. Shortly following were the university’s remote campuses – Hamilton, Middletown, and Voice of America Learning Center. In total, the system consists of nearly 30 displays throughout the campuses, as well as a university-sponsored cable channel with hundreds of endpoints, all running from a display server located at the main campus. In addition, Signature Technologies developed Miami’s system to include an emergency override module that interfaces with the Campus Police Station. ArrowCast can instantly take over all displays and even desktop computers to relay emergency notifications triggered directly from the police. Moreover, ArrowCast interfaces with Miami University’s campus alert system to display severe weather updates and other important messages. “We are very pleased with our partnership with Miami University and the end result of their communications solution,” stated Signature Technologies President and CFO Dave Michaels. “The success of the display technology that is part of their system, such as the emergency override module, paves the way for other universities looking to enhance their facilities and improve campus communication.” The ArrowCast® Enterprise Display System is a feature-rich web-based digital communication tool that provides a complete information delivery, display and management solution. Signature Technologies combines high quality LCD video sign technology and remarkably rich content to form a state-of-the-art communications solution suitable for a wide array of venues, including those in universities, government centers, retail and hospitality. |
