Australian Schools and Universities Adopt Digital Recall’s Free Digital Signage Software
Educational institutions across Australia are increasingly turning to Digital Recall’s Digital Signage Software to enhance communication on their campuses. The software, known for its low cost, ease of use, and compatibility with off-the-shelf hardware, has gained widespread popularity among schools and universities.
Prominent institutions such as Latrobe School of Management, the University of South Australia, Salesian College, Wodonga Senior Secondary College, and Ipswich Grammar are among the many educational entities utilizing Digital Recall’s software. This adoption reflects a growing trend within the education sector to leverage digital tools for efficient information dissemination and emergency communication.
Michael Marcus, CEO of Digital Recall, expressed his satisfaction with the software’s adoption, stating, “We’re delighted that our free digital signage software has proven to be popular with schools and universities across Australia. Our goal has always been to provide a cost-effective solution that fits within the budgets of educational institutions, allowing them to allocate resources to other essential areas.”
The software’s impact was highlighted by a testimonial from a university user, who shared their experience: “After about a year of headaches, I decided to search for a new product that was cheaper—and we found Digital Recall. Our department has received wonderful praise, and when we had an emergency situation here, an emergency notification was sent to all televisions on campus warning of the campus lockdown. Without Digital Recall, I don’t know what I would have done.”
Digital Recall’s software is designed to be accessible and user-friendly, allowing institutions to use their existing hardware and connectivity without incurring additional costs. The software can be implemented on a single PC or expanded into a network with multiple Player PCs controlled by a Manager PC over a LAN or the Internet. This flexibility, combined with comprehensive user manuals, ensures that educational institutions can easily integrate the software into their existing infrastructure.
As one of the free digital signage software, Digital Recall continues to support educational institutions not only in Australia but also across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The company remains committed to providing a robust and affordable digital signage solution, helping schools and universities enhance communication and improve campus safety.

A2aMEDIA Implements Mediamesh at Port Authority Bus Terminal
A2aMEDIA, a leading media company specializing in energy-efficient LED displays, has secured an agreement with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to install a cutting-edge digital display system at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Times Square. The installation, slated for completion in June 2011, will feature A2aMEDIA’s innovative Mediamesh® technology, seamlessly integrating into the terminal’s architecture.
In collaboration with Garage-Media, A2aMEDIA will oversee the installation and operation of this extensive digital display, which aims to provide a lasting aesthetic upgrade and valuable advertising opportunities for both regional and national businesses. The installation will span approximately 6,000 square feet of the terminal’s façades on 42nd Street and 8th Avenue, complemented by an additional 25,000 square feet of architectural lighting synchronized with the display’s visual content.
Mediamesh® technology blends the dynamic capabilities of digital billboards, the interactivity of online media, and the visual impact of broadcast media, creating a compelling viewer experience. This technology utilizes patented stainless-steel mesh panels embedded with high-resolution LEDs, enabling vibrant motion graphics for various applications, including civic, entertainment, and advertising purposes. The Mediamesh® system maintains the transparency and breathability of the terminal’s architectural design, preserving its aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, it consumes 80 percent less power than traditional LED displays, marking a significant improvement in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The decision to implement Mediamesh® at the Port Authority Bus Terminal is driven by its aesthetic transparency, durability, and its contribution to the terminal’s ongoing beautification efforts. The display will enhance the visual experience for passengers while offering advertisers a prime platform to reach over one million daily passersby.
The installation, providing up to 70 percent transparency, will cover the terminal’s exterior, allowing for unimpeded bus emissions and ensuring safety for both riders and employees. The vibrant digital media content will be visible from the sidewalk and street, creating the illusion of floating images over the terminal’s surface.
“Mediamesh® is an ideal display solution for the Port Authority Terminal, combining aesthetic appeal, environmental benefits, and transparency,” stated Brian Schuvart, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at A2aMEDIA. “This innovative approach to outdoor display technology departs from traditional opaque LED boards, offering the Port Authority new revenue streams and advertisers a flexible, visually engaging platform tailored to their marketing objectives.”
This transformative project underscores A2aMEDIA’s commitment to enhancing urban landscapes with sustainable, state-of-the-art digital media solutions. As the display goes live, it promises to become a distinctive feature of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, enriching the visual environment of Times Square and providing a modern medium for advertising and information dissemination.
