Located in Denton, Texas, with other facilities in Dallas-Fort Worth and Frisco, the University of North Texas offers 116 bachelor’s degrees, 87 master’s degrees, and 39 doctoral degrees to over 40k students. With such a vast network of educational pathways and student diversity, the university needed a robust communication platform to properly disseminate important information to its community. As a result, the school implemented a digital signage platform, but quickly ran into problems. The previous platform was slow, unreliable, cumbersome, and unable to integrate with certain technologies the school wanted to implement eventually. For example, the university eventually wanted to implement interactive displays within the Student Union to help promote events, wayfinding around campus, and other initiatives. This led the University of North Texas to search for a new digital signage platform, eventually setting up a demo with REACH Media Network.
What followed was a productive meeting that made the University of North Texas confident in its digital signage platform moving forward. With easier-to-use software, video options, extensive layout options, and reasonable pricing, it was clear that REACH Media Network would be a reliable platform moving forward. After switching to REACH during its installation, the school has been able to push out content efficiently for the past several months.

THE SOLUTION
After partnering with REACH Medida Network, the university outlined the scope of the digital signage project it wanted to implement. Many of the screens they would go on to integrate would be located in the Student Union, one of the areas on campus that gets the highest student traffic. Within this facility, they would implement a variety of screens. For example, the school wanted to begin experimenting with video content through their displays. Located in the main atrium of the Student Union, the University of North Texas envisioned 4 video walls that would display various content pieces in video format. Additionally, interactive screens were something the university was curious about as well. These would make assisting with wayfinding around campus while also presenting event information much more streamlined. All of this would be much easier through REACH’s platform, so once the integration was complete, the university began fleshing out its content.
THE RESULTS
For the past several months, the University of North Texas has implemented an engaging and diverse university digital signage content strategy. The 4 video walls used in the main atrium of the Student Union highlight union events, sports updates, and focus on rotating through other fun content pieces throughout the year. The interactive touchscreens have seen great success as well, averaging around 20-25k visitors a year. These screens help visitors and students with wayfinding on campus, as well as present event information and history regarding the Student Union. These screens are also used to train students. Students in design works classes are able to test out their work through these screens, helping them learn and evolve their strategies when creating designs for digital displays. Certain integrations, like Misevo, have made pulling previously created content even simpler. Data lists have also been a key feature, assisting with putting together directories for wayfinding that are simple and easy to read. Overall, digital signage has streamlined content workflows and highlighted events and strengths in a way that has connected students to the university in ways not previously seen.
