BEASD Turns to StrandVision Digital Signage for School Communications

Bellefonte, PA (Vocus) August 18, 2010

StrandVision LLC today announced that Bald Eagle Area School District (BEASD) has selected StrandVision Digital Signage for student and community communications at its middle-high school that serves 12 northern Centre County, Pennsylvania communities.

The signage carries several school communication messages, including student notices and after-school activities/bus schedules, sports notices and results, awards and recognition, event promotions and recaps. It also serves as a bulletin board for the public in support of the many community meetings that take place at the school complex. The same digital signage network of large (60”) screens is used to display streaming video feeds from the gymnasium to the cafeteria to accommodate overflow audiences at community events.

The digital signage, which is updated daily by school staff, takes advantage of StrandVision’s Internet-based digital signage delivery system. StrandVision provides digital signage page templates, split screens, crawling text and the ability to post pictures, text and graphics at any time. It also offers automatically updated local weather and news. The BEASD displays are all located in the middle-high school building complex, but, using StrandVision’s Internet distribution, can easily be extended to each of the buildings in the District.

Commented Bill Corkill, BEASD instructional technology specialist and activities director, “We first looked at doing our own signage. But the StrandVision price point was so good that we decided to use the service that they offered. It’s made it easy for us to update the signage right from our computers and rely on StrandVision to automatically update the displays.”

“BEASD is making good use of the StrandVision system by extending it beyond the student marketing during the school day to meet its particular needs and reach the general community,” said Mike Strand, StrandVision founder and CEO. “They’ve taken advantage of the system’s flexibility to get the greatest return. BEASD had well-defined objectives that they translated into an effective system that supports its educational and community missions.”

HME Wireless Launches New Restaurant Paging App Suite for Mobile Devices; State of the Art Technology Redefines Restaurant Paging Systems

(PRWEB) May 10, 2013

In the highly competitive food service industry, restaurants are increasingly turning to high-tech tools to improve service and attract more customers. Once again, HME Wireless leads the way with its new Restaurant Paging App Suite. Designed for use with iOS and Android devices, these innovative tools give busy restaurants a complete guest, server, and table status system in one easy-to-use paging app suite.

“Mobile devices are being deployed across almost every industry today with no exception in hospitality,” says Russ Ford, VP of HME Wireless. “We are seeing tablets used to order food at the table, guests taking surveys and playing games on smart phones, digital menu boards and even entire POS systems running on mobile and cloud-based systems. Our new app suite gives restaurants a simple yet sophisticated tool for building sales and increasing guest satisfaction.”

The Restaurant Paging App Suite includes four separate solutions designed to help restaurant staff deliver a more enjoyable dining experience for guests while helping operators execute at an exceptionally high level at the same time:


    GuestCall enables staff to track wait times, page waiting guests or other needed staff members, as well as get detailed reporting on many aspects of restaurant operations.

    ServerCall keeps servers, kitchen staff and managers in constant communication for improved server efficiency.

    Push Button lets users page staff or managers with important updates to keep the restaurant running smoothly.

    TableScout allows staff to update table statuses instantly for faster and more efficient seating of guests.

“The app suite only needs one transmitter, the iStation, and works with all HME Wireless pagers for seamless integration with a restaurant’s current system,” adds Ford. “And you can download the whole suite or just the individual applications you need. At HME, we strive to help restaurants operate more efficiently and profitably, and our new app suite takes a giant step in that direction.”
