New LED Digital Display Design Provides Price Point Breakthrough

New LED Digital Display Design Provides Price Point Breakthrough by Adaptive Micro Systems

Adaptive's EzView™ modular series introduces industry-leading digital performance, reliability and serviceability for outdoor digital advertising
Milwaukee, Wis., November 5, 2008 . . . Adaptive Micro Systems LLC is announcing the release of the first models in its EzView™ Modular Series of outdoor LED digital signage products. EzView expands upon the latest generation of Excite™ electronic message center and MEDIAMaster™ billboards, and builds upon the legacy of Adaptive's highly successful AlphaEclipse™, Excite™, StreetSmart™, and RoadStar™ families. At the same time, it offers a completely new combination of the latest streamlined electronics and an amazingly low price point.
"Adaptive prides itself on meeting customer needs," says Richard Johnson, President of Adaptive Micro Systems. "Today's EMC users are more value-conscious than ever, but their definition of value goes beyond the initial price - they need an energy-efficient, durable product that will enable them to take full advantage of the opportunities for increased revenue that digital signage has been proven to deliver.
"With that in mind," Johnson continues, "our engineering team has developed an innovative product that takes the best of new high-performance electronic technologies and delivers a leaner but stronger unit. We back this up with our commitment to setting the standard in our industry for short lead times, reliability and end user convenience."
The first products available in the EzView line will be 20mm full color and 20mm and 23mm monochrome (red/amber) units, which can now be ordered through Adaptive's Authorized Dealer network for shipment beginning in December of 2008.
EzView modular displays are available in a specific range of popular sizes from 1' x 3' to 4' x 12', hitting the "sweet spot" of the outdoor EMC market. Combining the best elements from Adaptive's well-known Excite, StreetSmart and large character RoadStar series, the EzView line still succeeds in forging a completely new presence in the outdoor LED display market. Adaptive's worldwide parts sourcing and manufacturing facilities enable the EzView line to hit price points never before attained in the industry for a product of this quality.
"A base palette of 16.7 million exciting colors on the RGB unit and 4,068 shades on our mono units, along with an embedded controller, wired or wireless Ethernet connectivity and a completely reworked Ooh!Media™ content creation and scheduling software application make it easy to achieve that 'WOW' factor customers are looking for these days," notes Johnson. "Of course with Adaptive, you will also receive our expert dealer/partner technical service support to make sure you are using your EzView digital sign to your maximum advantage as a communications tool."
In addition, EzView modular solutions are meant to be enduring values. The innovative Protector™ case virtually eliminates contamination by rain, ice, salt fog and dust. There are no vents to clean or fan filters to change. "Our combination of design simplicity and enclosure integrity enables the EzView™ Series to meet the most stringent certifications in the industry, including ETL/UL 60950-1 and military standards for weatherability," says Johnson. For added servicing convenience, low-voltage SmartPanels™ allow quick, easy replacement of digital drivers from the front of the unit.
"Any way you look at it, EzView is an excellent display investment and a terrific business-builder for our end users and our dealers," concludes Johnson. "Of course, our other solutions will have their place. For large character displays, RoadStar™ continues to perform strongly. Our MEDIAMaster billboards fit the requirements for very large scale advertising applications. But it's easy to see that the this newest addition to Adaptive's evergrowing family of digital signs sets a new standard for value in outdoor digital on and off-premise sign advertising, putting one of today's most dynamic advertising mediums into the hands of many more users than ever before."

An E-learning Community Can Help Employees Enhance Their Skills

An E-learning Community Can Help Employees Enhance Their Skills by Alfie Corey

The word about e-learning is spreading like wildfire. The Internet has changed the whole concept of learning. E-learning enables people to receive comments and views of experts who are miles away from them.
This new generation concept has led to the emergence of various online communities.
E-learning communities are also one of them. An e-learning community allows people to learn and gain knowledge on different subject matters through video-conferencing, chatting and online meetings.
It is amazing that people sitting miles apart come in contact with another and share their experiences as if they are just sitting together. These e-learning communities have shrunk distances between people who are at quite a distant from one another.
Online experts feel that e-learning is the most suitable way of imparting education to oneself using the Internet.
For some of you, the concept of e-learning may look something new but people who have been associated with the Internet for a long time know what it is and what is its importance.
Just wreck your brains and think of any e-learning communities that know about. An e-learning community's basic theme is to educate members via Internet connection with the help of online tools that can be run with efficiency.
The world wide web is packed like sardines with different online communities that offer people information and knowledge on varied sectors such as business, sports, shopping, sharing knowledge, health tips, marketing, stock tips, etc.
Even corporates have realized the importance of the concept of e-learning communities and have come up with their own e-learning communities so that they can sharpen the skills of their employees or impart training to them as and when required.
These corporates have really enjoyed the tastes of this effort of theirs. E-learning communities started by corporates help their employees to use them to brush up their skills during free time.
These communities really provide employees the right medium with which they can improve themselves and contribute towards the progress and growth of their respective companies. It is a very cost-efficient way of educating employees unlike orientation programs that prove to be a costly affair.

GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems

GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems by Kent Stabler

The implications of this type of technology are wide ranging for security services and anyone who needs to monitor information on vehicle movements.
As an anti-theft device for a vehicle it is a huge leap forwards and similarly as a monitoring system for detailed vehicle movements there is not really a comparable precedent.
To be able to instantly locate a vehicle through a vehicle tracking system, and with some of the more sophisticated systems to be able to see on a computerised map its current movements, has until relatively recently been the stuff of James Bond films and the like.
In recent years technology of this type has become available and affordable to everyone from individuals to security services and businesses.
As a system to increase the security of vehicles against theft it can be used to recover stolen vehicles or to demobilise a vehicle when not in use.
At a simple level if a stolen vehicle needs to be found then a tracking device will allow the police, in tandem with the system providers, to discover exactly where the vehicle is. More sophisticated systems can allow a vehicle to be mobilised or demobilised remotely from a computer screen.
The systems involved in vehicle tracking range in sophistication with some now being able to provide an increasing range of information.
The use of GPS tracking systems by businesses that own multiple vehicles is a fast growing area of the use of the technology. It is invaluable for a business to know instantly where those vehicles are, what they are doing and to some extent being able to control them remotely.
The anti-theft security systems mentioned above are immensely useful, as some of the more sophisticated systems would allow a user to demobilise a fairly large number of vehicles remotely, thus protecting them from theft or any other unauthorised use.
In the realms of business efficiency, staff that are mobile and drive around have been impossible to monitor effectively until the advent of this type of GPS technology.
Now businesses can directly observe driver habits including the efficiency of their working methods, whether they are wasting time or not and also in terms of the details of their actual driving. It is possible for example to see whether they are speeding or not.
This type of information can both increase efficiency and productivity of staff as well as monitoring their safety and wellbeing. To be able to gain information of the whereabouts of a vehicle at the tips of your fingers is clearly the main advantage of GPS technology. For those with in need of advanced vehicle security and/or for those with vehicle dependent businesses, GPS technology offers new possibilities of relieving old headaches associated with those areas.
