Case Study: Northumbria University achieves enhanced student engagement and modernised campus communications with ONELAN

Northumbria University - Customer Case Study

Northumbria University, a research-rich, business-focused institution in Newcastle educating over 33,000 students, wanted to modernise and centralise its campus visual communications and boost student engagement. A long-standing ONELAN customer, Northumbria had an extensive network of Net-Top-Boxes and moved to a fully centralised digital signage network using ONELAN HD100 players and the ONELAN Content Management Server to give campus teams a unified platform for messaging.

Working with ONELAN (and delivery partners onemedia and Roche AV), the university deployed interactive touch-screen kiosks across common areas that surface intranet content, events, dining, wellbeing services and a 3D “Map Finder,” plus dynamic elements like live news and weather. ONELAN’s solution also added analytics to monitor click-through rates in real time, improving content relevance and student engagement—installed in time for Freshers week and putting core student information at users’ fingertips.
