Thanks to the Apple iPad, FireSign is more portable than ever before. Using the built-in Safari browser on the iPad operating system, mobile FireSign customers can stay connected to their digital signage systems over Wi-Fi and 3G connections.
The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum uses an iPad to modify schedules for their new FireSign Matinee Application.
Using the iPad, FireSign customers can complete all essential management functions such as modifying schedules, checking Player status and running reports. It’s important to note that the iPad does not currently support FireSign’s media upload and segment creation tools.
