Satellite veteran Joe Amor discusses satellite’s role in this growing industry
Digital signage is a $1billion industry that’s growing at a breakneck pace. This growth is due in part to its ability to deliver interactive, timely and informational advertising and entertainment content where it’s needed most; at the point of sale.
With many recent network deployments delivered via satellite, Joe Amor, vice president and general manager of Microspace, will discuss the current state of the market. He will also discuss how satellite measures up next to alternative solutions and give insight into the latest trends. Mr. Amor brings over 20 years of satellite communications experience to a panel discussion entitled, Digital Signage: Bringing the Message Out of the Home and Onto the Store Floor.
Microspace’s technology powers a significant number of North American digital signage networks. Current deployments represent signage in nearly 10,000 locations with over 30,000 individual signage displays.
