Harris
Corporation, will feature new standards for digital signage networks within

Signage solutions for casinos at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), being held
November 13-15 in Las Vegas.

“InfoCaster

customers a uniquely powerful and comprehensive digital media network,”

systems integrator that specializes in the casino market. “Having a
dedicated team of experts from one of the world’s leading communications
companies behind every high-performance solution provides our customers with
added ease and confidence.”

InfoCaster
Digital Signage solutions integrate with existing infrastructure systems and
enable easy acquisition, creation, scheduling and synchronizing of content from
multiple sources to multiple locations. For casinos and resorts, content is
customized to enhance the guest experience at various venues such as food and
beverage areas, convention spaces and lobbies, retail shops and gaming areas.
Advanced management and monitoring tools give users unprecedented flexibility
and control over the entire network.

To address
customer concerns regarding the costs associated with implementing a large
digital media network, Harris offers financing plans through Harris Finance — a
program that enables buyers to amortize their investment in Harris technology
and services over an extended period of time. Harris Finance plans are based on
customized financial models that fit revenue dynamics, and are designed to
maximize a company’s investment by allowing for future upgrades and expansion
of the digital signage system.
