Benefits of using a Video Wall for Government Buildings

Government video wall information interactive digital signage

 

Video walls are powerful tools for wayfinding, displaying news and updates, and presenting important real-time metrics. Government agencies, from county, to state, and federal levels, use video walls to display resource usage, upcoming events, and wayfinding for employees and citizens.

Informational Digital Signage

County, state, and federal government agencies need tools to maintain transparency and good communication. Digital signage is an excellent tool for sharing information with citizens and government employees. Digital signage is used in county and state courtrooms to display schedules,to help navigate government buildings, and to display upcoming elections and meetings. Interactive digital signage kiosks are used by citizens to fill out forms, and even to upload documents.

LEED Certification

 

The LEED rating system scores organizations based on their environmental stewardship. LEED certified buildings are efficient; they use less resources like natural gas, electricity, and water. Video walls display up to date metrics on water, electricity, and natural gas usage. Transparency is key when it comes to earning and maintaining LEED certification. Video walls make the positive environment impact of LEED certified buildings more visible and easy to track. For more information on LEED certification, click here

Improve Citizens’ Experiences

Most of us are not looking forward to visiting our local DMVs or courthouses to renew drivers licenses, vehicle registrations, or for some other documents or reasons. There are often long wait times at government offices, either due to low staff or high volume. Lobby video walls help reduce wait times by navigating people to the right places. Digital signage displays queues as well, so at least people know how long they need to wait. Government kiosks allow users to service themselves, reducing the need for staff, and wait times.

Versatile Digital Communications

Video walls and digital signage software are excellent tools for government buildings because they are extremely adaptable. The versatility of digital signage software allows government agencies to tailor their digital communications however they see fit.

Some agencies only use digital signage for internal communications, whereas others only use it externally. While government buildings may use video walls to play a set of videos on repeat, they can be as creative as they want with the content on screen. They schedule videos or slideshows to play at certain times throughout the day, and they create interactive content. Citizens can interact with kiosks via touchscreens, keyboards and mice, or from their mobile devices.

CPU GPU testing on AOpen Ace Mini

 

We vigorously test all new products before recommending them to clients. The AOpen Ace Mini is no exception. Each time we test a device, we leave the device running for multiple weeks, 24/7, and perform multiple stress tests. Testing includes benchmarks that max out the GPU and CPU on the device to ensure clients won’t receive devices that die right out of the box.

The second battery of tests includes testing in real scenarios, using the same displays and touch screens that we recommend to our clients. This includes testing responsiveness on top of basic compatibility tests. These tests are performed to ensure that clients get the performance and reliability they need out of every device we recommend.

 

Interactive testing on AOpen Ace Mini

 

The form factor of the AOpen Ace Mini makes it a good choice for an installation with limited space. Arreya always recommends fanless devices because the reality is, nobody is going to clean the fans once the device is installed. The fanless design and the reliability of this device is perfect for kiosks or any situation where device access is difficult.

The AOpen Ace Mini is a perfect addition to AOpen’s line of commercial grade devices. The features and capabilities of the device fill the needs of our clients on multiple levels. Even though it is an entry level device, the Ace Mini is capable, and it meets Arreya’s strict requirements for client recommendation.
