Since sign operators have a lot on their plate, they may benefit from expert guidance to choose the right routers, modems, and related cellular accessories. It’s normal to have a few questions, such as: Is a weather-resistant device is the best option? Will the display operate in a challenging indoor environment where signal reception is poor? Which is best,
4G or 5G? What antenna should I choose?
But hardware is just one piece of the puzzle. Data plans, monitoring software, and management options are also critical. At OptConnect, a team of solution engineers is available to help customers design and quickly deploy the right cellular solutions so that digital signs can connect quickly and start generating revenue.
The criteria for selecting the right hardware extends beyond baseline specs to include other considerations like time to market, aftersale support, reseller partnerships, monitoring and management, warranty options, long-term reliability, and day-to-day operational consistency.
Let’s discuss a few ways solution architects at OptConnect simplify cellular connectivity for media agencies, installers, and operators.
Faster Time to Market for DOOH Media Installations
It’s a given that most signage operators have to connect easily in locations they don’t own. For this reason, they need to choose their own connectivity solution and hope that time to market won’t be negatively impacted.
OptConnect helps simplify cellular deployments so operators can plug in their device and connect their signage right away. For example, OptConnect routers like the neo2 come already provisioned and fully kitted with the right antenna, power cord, and dual-SIM functionality for connection protection right from the get go.
If customers are considering
embedded modules for their IoT equipment, OptConnect engineers can talk through the pros and cons of this approach to help simplify – or even eliminate – the time to certification.
