More than two-thirds of the world’s population owns a mobile phone. In fact, in the Western world, the number of active mobile phones often exceeds the population of a country!  Research predicts that this market will experience a rapid growth in the near future; from 71 million connections today to 225 million by 2014.
 
The benefits of mobile

Mobile allows Digital Signage content to be remotely updated in previously impossible situations.

The benefits of mobile are simple to understand. Mobile networks are available everywhere and are easy to access. Mobile therefore provides an alternative opportunity where it is difficult or inaccessible to deliver traditional wired communications, such as remote sites or areas where wires would cause a hazard. These advantages can provide the digital market with opportunities to deliver new and compelling communications where previously it was not possible to do so.
 
The changing face of mobile
 
Traditionally, concerns about using mobile networks to manage and control data have been based on reliability. Whilst consumer mobile networks have been subject to issues regarding reliability, especially in light of the phenomenal growth of smart phone usage, this is a world apart from the service that is available from enterprise grade business-to-business operators.
  
The changing face of Digital Signage
 
The digital signage market is changing: opportunities to deploy digital signage are often outside of the traditional fixed site or may even be on a temporary basis. The Digital  signage owners are looking to deploy solutions that have increased flexibility i.e. that can be used in multiple sites and for various tasks. In these circumstances mobile offers a new level of flexibility to save time and money.
 

Mobile offers huge potential savings for deployers of Digital Signage in retail.

If we consider a retail chain that wants to deploy digital signage but only in a number of its sites, mobile communications enable the retailer to move digital signage around the portfolio of stores quickly and easily without incurring the costs of fixed line communications in every store. The internet connection to manage and control the delivery of relevant content can literally travel wherever the screen goes.
