Everyone is taking about the new buzz in digital signage, this being taxi cab digital signage. Now it is going cellular.

One main issue with in cab digital signage has been the updating of content, the only options on the market was to either have a standard advertising head rest that you could update using a USB drive or a very expensive external wireless media player connected to the headrest, this would be updated when all the cabs were back at the depot. Now this has proven to be the reason why this technology has not boomed, but now there is a solution – a 3G headrest.

Now there is one solution out there that offers a host of advertising opportunities from displaying a route from your location to your destination with local advertising en-route in the headrest to downloading discount coupons to your cell phone – read on to discover more.

3D Taxi Advertising Head Rest.

The headrest comes in two sizes either a 7” or 8” screen both have an interactive touch screen and the unit has a built in speaker, as previously the media player is built into the head rest.

All you need for the updates is a 3G flash drive that connects to the headrest and then you log in to the FTP server to download new content over the 3G network, the update is completed in less than 30 minutes with speeds of 1-3 Mbps.

So when a driver knows he is on a long solo trip to collect a passenger they can update the content, for example if they are going to collect someone from the airport.

Bluetooth Coupons to your cell phone!

Not only are the running on 3G, you can also send discount coupons to your mobile phone – sounds impossible? Not really with the technology at hand.

Here is the scenario, you are sat in the back of a cab and being taken to your hotel, you are hungry and you have been travelling for 6 hours then you see an advert for a steak restaurant. You touch the screen to start the video here you see all the tempting food from the menu including appetisers to deserts and then on the next layer down you see an icon for “discount voucher”, you touch the icon it then takes you to a third layer to “download the coupon” via Bluetooth, you then get your mobile phone out and connect to the device and when the blue bar is full no the download your mobile phone has a voucher on it, all you have to do know is tell the driver to take you to the restaurant.
