EDITOR’S NOTE:
THE FEATURES INCLUDE:
The winter solstice is a strange time for us in the Northern hemisphere. Firstly it starts to get dark, then we put lots of sparkly lights in our home (and sometimes outside), then, just past the longest night and the shortest day, there’s a period where we can start to think about the future. Having the time to work out what that means for our personal life and our families and how to improve our health and lifestyle going forward is invaluable. However, most of us also look at our business lives – what innovative technology can be implemented and integrated to increase revenue, and how to enhance our customer journey, to entice our customers back to our businesses.
This issue of Kiosk and Digital Signage magazine has a variety of feature articles investigating the technology available tomorrow that may help the business holder of today.
Simon Blackwell at TelcoSwitch believes it’s vital that the channels of communication that consumers have access to are properly integrated and synchronised with one another. We review the options available that enable businesses to improve the customer’s experience.
Educational technology device management can be a challenge if not sufficiently prepared. Nadav Avni at Radix Technologies examines mobile device management for interactive touchscreens and other solutions developed with these concerns in mind.
Paul McHugh at Cradlepoint looks at upgrading the post-pandemic restaurant experience through wireless WANs. We discuss some of the options based on offering engaging experiences and streamlining operations to entice customers back through the door.
Poor cybersecurity has been identified as the most pressing threat to businesses today. Barry O’Donnell at TSG challenges the top cybersecurity myths compromising data.
Touchscreen and kiosk hygiene and disinfection have been at the forefront of the self-serve industry’s minds for some time now and show no sign of dissipating.

Once again we have lots of news items and product announcements across the kiosk and digital signage industry. If you’d like to contribute a feature article, contact me at editor@kdseurope.com and we can help you put something together. Our next issue’s editorial programme is due to cover transport and travel, technology trends and displays, but don’t let those subject matters restrict you – if you think our readership would be interested in reading about it then send it through.
Wishing you all a happy new year. Let’s hope 2022 is a prosperous and safe year for us all.
