Problem: A multi-unit convenience store chain wants to install variable message signs at the corner of each property where they can be easily seen by passing vehicles. Stores will display both chain-wide and store-specific messages that are programmed into the sign from a PC in each store. To deploy this messaging system the chain must link the variable message signs to the PCs in the stores, which on average are separated by over 100 feet.Solution: Rather than disrupt the operation of each property by digging a conduit beneath the concrete apron to lay a wired connection, the chain chose Digi's XStream™ RF modems to link the sign and the PC wirelessly. Each store requires two modems - one at the sign and one at the PC to create a reliable RF bridge.
Benefits:
- XStream modems cost less than one-tenth of the price of a protected wired solution
- Existing stores are spared the disruption of laying new cable beneath existing concrete aprons
- New stores can be configured in a fraction of the time a wired connection requires
