Build your own wireless digital signage network using MyAdTV
Digital signage is fast becoming the tool of choice for in-store advertising and on-location ad sales. When you talk about digital signage, terms such as cellular technology, wireless networking and remote access are often mentioned in the conversation. But don’t let these technical terms scare you! It is much easier than you think to build your own wireless digital signage network. You can do it right from your own laptop. We will unfold the mysteries one by one for you.
Most laptops have built-in wireless connection. If not, you can purchase a wireless PC card to provide the wireless connection. The location you plan to run the digital signage at needs to have access to the Internet through a wireless hub. In the United States, almost a quarter of the households have Wi-Fi wireless home networking. In Mountain View, California, Google provides free Wi-Fi to the entire city. Many cities are following suit in providing Wi-Fi city-wide. In a year or two, it is safe to assume that most places will have Wi-Fi available. If the location does not have access to the Internet, you can consider using a cellular network. Companies such as Sprint and Verizon offer Internet access through their PCS networks using a wireless PC card. Sprint offers a package of $60 monthly subscription and a free PC card (with rebate). Once you established the Internet connection, you are good to go.
A digital signage network implies the ability to access the digital signage content remotely and to display the content in multiple locations simultaneously. This is accomplished by storing the content in a central server and providing software applications that you can create and display the content. MyAdTV has engineered a web-based solution that allows you to have your digital signage network instantly. No software installation is required, just Microsoft Internet Explorer browser; a regular PC connected to the Internet is used for content creation and playback; content is controlled and updated remotely with no interruption to the display. You can go to www.myadtv.com to sign up for a FREE ‘Starter Package’ and gain access to the service. You can self-start in less than 30 minutes by following the step by step user guide provided.
MyAdTV also allows you to build your own account structure and increase the usage at your own pace. You can have multiple accounts that link together for internal staff members to manage multiple ad campaigns and to display different content at different locations.

When you are ready to display the digital signage, you connect your laptop to an external monitor. Depending on your application and your budget, you can use any display screen like a 19” LCD monitor or a 42” Plasma TV.
Besides displaying ads using graphics, flash or movie files, MyAdTV also takes user type-in text and overlays the text on a background image or background color. It is ideal to use it as a message board for public announcements.
