Applications and Cases
Key Takeaways
Wireless Connectivity for Digital Signages To maintain stable connections and reduce downtime, the IR312 router provides reliable and smart wireless connectivity for digital signages.
Background
Digital media systems display advertisements in high-traffic areas such as bus stations, airports, and business districts. Advertisement operators generate revenue by displaying ads for various companies and helping them understand their customer segments. A key technical challenge is updating the advertisements on digital signage. Installing traditional land-line internet connections increases construction time, and manually updating ads is tedious and difficult for larger companies. Unlike USB modems or home cellular devices, unattended commercial equipment must be reliable, as any downtime could result in profit loss.

Solution
The IR305 router connects to the digital panel with Ethernet. It manages the data usage by automatically entering standby mode when the signage does not require an Internet connection. The panels were designed to update each day at midnight or when the signage operated requested a change. When the panel needs to download a new ad, the IR315 automatically connects to the 4G LTE network. The entire process was seamless and transparent to the passers-by. The digital signage installation can report its operation status and any error reports to a diagnostic center run by a technician.
InHand also provides a free cloud service to help the customer manage the IR315, including traffic management, batch configuration, remote firmware upgrades, cellular data plan management and a simple graphical user interface.
