Already one of the world’s largest restaurant chains, SUBWAY with more than 36,000 restaurants across 99 countries, is still taking every step to stimulate customers’ appetites.
SUBWAY® TV & RADIO, comprised of NEXCOM’s fanless NDiS 161 media player and Real Digital Media’s NEOCAST® digital signage platform, serves as a communication medium for helping SUBWAY® franchisees better inform customers of available options and enhance in-store customer experiences.
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.
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 system to ensure the success of their global rollout.
