Challenge
Restaurants pose many environmental challenges. With long operating hours and variable temperatures, SUBWAY® TV & RADIO required a robust solution that could withstand these conditions to ensure successful playback of their promotional content, especially during peak times. Furthermore, due to the scale of the network rollout, SUBWAY® required a future-proofed hardware solution that could meet the demands of today as well as tomorrow, and could warrant against premature obsolescence.

Solution
SUBWAY® selected NEXCOM's NDiS 161. One of the essential aspects of reliable playback in a restaurant environment is a fanless design. NDiS 161's fanless architecture deters environmental intruders, thereby increasing the durability and lifespan of the media players and protecting SUBWAY® franchisees' investments.

Additionally, the NDiS 161 supports high-definition playback. As SUBWAY® content and digital signage application demands increase, the NDiS 161 will be able to support these challenges without requiring SUBWAY® to install new hardware. Delivered pre-loaded with the Real Digital Media NEOCAST® embedded player software, the NDiS 161 media players arrive on site ready to "plug and play." Combined with a multi-year service support contract, SUBWAY® has a technically robust and supported solution to ensure the success of their global rollout.

Result
SUBWAY® TV & RADIO is poised to become the largest digital signage network in the world. At the core of this network will be the NEXCOM fanless media player NDiS 161. Built to last, this solution is aimed to help companies like SUBWAY® have confidence in their network infrastructure, so they can deliver their messaging more efficiently and serve customers better.
