Onelan has been shortlisted as a top-3 finalist in the TV over IP Solution category of the Streaming Media European Readers' Choice Awards, for their TV Gateway (TVG). 
 
The TVG was designed to be a cost-effective way of delivering multi-channel content to users in a range of scenarios; for instance, improving reception and communal areas, delivering key sporting and entertainment events to clients and customers and allowing employees to watch Freeview content in a managed environment.
 
The company, which develops network appliances for standalone and end-to-end digital signage network solution, will also showcase products such as their new V.8 Net-Top-Box (NTB) digital signage software and new Data Capture Engine (DCE) at Total Media in Spain this October.
 
The Net-Top-Box is a mul¬timedia, multi-zoned solution capable of Touch Interactivity. With a browser based user inter¬face, the system is fully multi-lingual and capable of dis¬playing both stored media and live media, such as RSS feeds, web pages and broadcast TV or locally streamed video. Other related products cater for Enterprise network management and integration with external data sources.
 
The NTBs are now installed in a wide variety of organisations such as retail, schools, hospitals, and government buildings, as well as some well-known companies such as Vodafone, Virgin Holidays and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
 
The DCE is a framework of software functionality that provides connections between a wide variety of customer data sources to the company’s Net-Top-Boxes.
 
It will enable information held in spreadsheets, databases and business systems to be re-purposed for use on digital signage, web pages and other rich graphical displays.
 
Two of the new connectors are the Microsoft Excel Business Connector and the Microsoft Exchange Business Connector.
 
The new Microsoft Excel Business Connector enables Excel data to be displayed directly on digital signage, enabling visibility of educational, sales & financial and other Excel-stored information.
 
An extremely diverse range of organisations, from the education, health and hospitality to the retail sectors, use Microsoft Excel to store and manage data, boost productivity and gain competitive advantage.
 
The new Microsoft Exchange Business Connector enables users to deliver availability, messaging and organisational information directly to digital signage.  For example, room and resource bookings can be unlocked and displayed to allow more efficient use of resources, without interruption to users and administrators.
 
Additional connectors are also available for XML and Text and separate Connectors, Google Calendar and SQL databases.
