Wimax operator, Vmax Telecom, has fitted a digital signage network in 1,000 taxis run by MTaxi in Taipei (Taiwan).

The system, provided by Tecom Inc., uses 7inch touch-screens operated by a stylus installed in the back of the front seats. The screens are connected by WiMax and give access to Service and Entertainment internet content.

The offer, known as “Mobile Internet Cafe”, is designed to promote the use of WiMax in the country – Taiwan being on of the countries where deployment of this broadband wi-fi communication technology is the most advanced.
