Ravenscraig Sports Centre Shape up their Communications with ONELAN
Ravenscraig Regional Sports Centre chose ONELAN digital signage to keep customers up to date, promote events and entertain customers.
- (1888PressRelease) July 06, 2011 - Ravenscraig Regional Sports Centre wanted to develop a communication system to keep customers updated with activities and sports centre facilities. They wanted to be able to promote forthcoming events, and also entertain customers while they are at the facility.
Ravenscraig chose ONELAN digital signage and have installed one Century Net top box (NTB) 610 Publisher unit, a Century Net top box (NTB) 510 Subscriber unit, two Omni-servers and a TVG Gateway.
The digital signage drives four 60" screens and three 50" screens. These are located across the site, with one in reception, one in the athletics hall, two in the gym and two in the café.
Live TV and Sky are shown on screens on the Technogym equipment and in future these will also be able to show the digital signage content shown elsewhere on the site.
There is also a drop down projection screen that will be used to show live sporting events such as boxing and snooker matches. The Omni-servers enable different content to be streamed to different areas of the site.
Ravenscraig have integrated the ONELAN digital signage with the local council's IT infrastructure.
In addition to the live terrestrial TV and Sky that is currently streamed in, Ravenscraig also plan to use live radio feeds.
ONELAN digital signage is also being installed at four other NLL sports centres as well as a golf club.
Ravenscraig are aware that their digital signage system is only as good as the content. Two people locally in marketing and a business manager centrally ensure that content is changed regularly. Currently the advertising shown is all internal for promoting e.g forthcoming events. It is much quicker and cheaper for Ravenscraig to design digital signage content for an event, and then if necessary use this for supporting leaflets too, rather than have to rely solely on printed collateral.
In future third party advertising will be shown on the digital signage.
The senior management of NLL are very happy with the ONELAN installed at Ravenscraig, especially as it represents good value for money.
