SMIL-Player powers thousands of Screens in Beijing

Posted on by

IAdea SMIL-Player has been providing digital signage equipment to the China Post Media company, who is commissioned by the China Post Office to install and operate 1 to 4 displays in each of China’s 71,000 post offices. The network is given the mission to turn each post office into a convenience store that serves the need of 1.3 billion people, many of whom live in geographically isolated areas where the typical commercial chain stores cannot reach. In addition to providing typical postal services at its service locations, the China Post Office is expanding to distribute items including seasonal food, gifts, nutrition supplements, tickets, phone cards, etc. The concept is to utilise the existing postal delivery infrastructure to deliver additional goods and services to enrich the lives of the citizens, especially those living in remote rural areas where the current standard of living is a small fraction of that in the costal cities. The project, if successful, will help raise the life quality of the currently deserted towns. As part of the plan, digital signage systems are planned from the very … Continue reading →
