Digital Signage Development and Installation
Research, Design + Development and Installation for Foxtel Networks Australia Internal Digital Signage Network powered by Google.
About
Foxtel is an Australian pay television company, with over 1.4million subscribers operating a duopoly in cable television, a monopoly in direct broadcast satellite television, and IPTV catch-up services.
The Challenge
Find a simple communication system that was cost effective, robust, could reach multiple people at the same time and was easy to deploy.
The Process
My approach was to use the current TV systems installed in the buildings, and adapt new technologies, reducing costs.
The process involved building and testing some smaller display units, researching and testing some of the most trusted devices, this included visiting Googles Head Quarters in Sydney
to attend a 1 day workshop, setting up meetings at Foxtel Sydney HQ with some of our key managers to demonstrate how this technology could be easily introduced into our workflow.
This included people from IT, People & Culture, Branding and Marketing Teams.
The Result
After 6 months of testing, and continued support from across the business, Foxtel have now successfully introduced 19 units, with an additional 70 units
that have just been approved and will start to rolled out across the business. The system allows the entire company to be across all of Foxtel's programming, news updates and events.
