Electronic Paper Signage and Public Emergency Messaging Systems
Watch our webinar replay to learn about E Ink's impact on emergency communication
In times of crises, such as the COVID-19 crisis that we are currently going through, public announcements and communications are vital to communities, businesses, and government agencies. Digital signage can play an important role in providing service updates related to transportation, schools, clinics, as well as healthcare tips, testing locations, and other useful information.
Join us in this webinar to see how solar-powered ePaper signs are helping broadcast messages and reach communities that would otherwise not have digital access. Hear directly the testimonials from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (“The T”) and E Ink partner, Soofa.
