Consumers Get Face-To-Face With Remote Customer Service Agents Using Mediatile's "Human Kiosk" Interactive Digital Signage Solution On The Verizon 4G LTE Network

BASKING RIDGE, NJ and SCOTTS VALLEY, CA — MediaTile, the recognized leader in 3G and 4G cloud-based digital signage solutions, today announced that its HumanKiosk Solution, powered by the company’s MediaCast Video Presence system, is now available on the Verizon 4G LTE network.

The HumanKiosk solution revolutionizes in-field customer service for point-of-sale or point-of-service environments by combining the capabilities of interactive digital signage with on-demand, virtual experts and face-to-face interaction. With the integration of Verizon’s fast and reliable 4G LTE network, the HumanKiosk supports secure, high-definition, two-way face-to-face video conversations with nothing more than a power source on site. With this solution, marketers can humanize their brand interaction, improve the customer experience and deliver their messages with absolute control and precision across Verizon’s 4G LTE network without on-site staffing.

“By combining the advantages of the HumanKiosk with the power and speed of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, in-field marketing and customer service can be changed dramatically,” said Brian Higgins, vice president, Network Technology at Verizon Wireless. “Our 4G LTE network helps businesses bring knowledgeable sales and support personnel to customers, at previously unheard of economics.”

The HumanKiosk Solution attracts, influences and engages consumers in dynamic new ways. In a familiar, but oversized, smartphone and tablet-like format, it attracts consumers to scheduled and dynamically-generated media and engages with interactive touch-based digital promotions. The breakthrough in personalized service is achieved through MediaCast Video Presence. At the touch of an on-screen button, consumers can instantly enter a two-way, high-definition, face-to-face conversation with a highly-trained remote expert agent. These remote experts are available on-demand, and are automatically matched with the consumer’s on-screen selections, which might include product, specific features, services or language.

The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is the nation’s fastest, most reliable 4G network, covering more than 165 markets and providing speeds up to 10 times faster than Verizon Wireless’ 3G network. The HumanKiosk is a result of collaboration fostered at Verizon‘s LTE Innovation Center in Waltham, Mass. The LTE Innovation Center and the Verizon’s Innovation Program (www.innovation.verizon.com) provide an environment for diverse companies to work together to develop innovative products that leverage 4G LTE technology.

“By including Verizon’s 4G LTE network services with the HumanKiosk solution, we can offer our customers an extremely reliable, amazingly fast and highly secure face-to-face experience that requires zero on-site network infrastructure or effort to access,” said Simon Wilson, chief executive officer, MediaTile. “Unlike terrestrial telepresence systems, which are laden with complexities and unnecessary costs, Verizon 4G LTE is refreshing in its simplicity, security and overall solution elegance.”
