Case Study: University of Bath enhances student experience with Exterity IP video and digital signage

Exterity IP Video Delivers First Class Student Experience Across Bath University Accommodation

The University of Bath wanted to enhance student satisfaction and keep its campus accommodation competitive by offering high-quality TV and video access that matched students’ expectations for on-demand, anywhere content. Working with Exterity, the university sought a robust IP video and digital signage solution that could deliver live TV, entertainment, and campus information directly to student rooms and communal areas.

Exterity implemented a large-scale IP video system featuring TV gateways, encoders, AvediaPlayer set-top boxes, AvediaServer management, and ArtioPortal middleware. The solution now serves over 750 student rooms and more than 800 set-top boxes across campus, delivering tailored channels, campus alerts, and digital signage in refectories and accommodation areas. Exterity’s system helped the university provide a more personalized, connected student experience while supporting future expansion to mobile devices.
