The University of Deusto, one of Spain’s most prestigious universities, has selected C-nario’s digital signage platform, C-nario Messenger, for its new digital signage networks at the Bilbao and San Sebastian campuses.

The first phase of the project, in Bilbao, has already been completed. Thirteen Samsung screens were installed campus-wide, displaying information about various events on campus, as well as information about current weather, sports and general news, emergency alerts and public safety information. The second phase is planned to begin in the near future, and it will include expansion of the network to the university’s campus in San Sebastian.

Comunitac, a Spanish provider of innovative communication products and services, is the prime contractor. The project designer and integrator is IKUSI, a global provider of communications and electronic solutions and services, and a C-nario strategic partner. AsomaTV, a Spanish provider of digital signage services, helped IKUSI with content creation. Media players were provided by AOpen.

“Education is one of our major strategic target markets, and we are pleased that the University of Deusto decided to use our solutions as the software infrastructure for its digital signage network,” said Tamir Ginat, C-nario’s CEO. “An increasing number of  higher education institutions are becoming aware of the great benefits of digital signage, and we are well positioned to meet this growing demand.”
