Case Study: Cape Peninsula University of Technology streamlines campus communications with Uniguest TripleSign Digital Signage

Cape Peninsula University of Technology - Customer Case Study

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) required a new digital signage solution that was flexible enough to deliver uniform communications across its campuses and student residences. They sought to replace outdated paper posters and needed a system capable of instantly broadcasting both general and localized content. Their challenge was to find a platform that could target students passively in high-traffic areas. After evaluating numerous options, they selected the Tripleplay digital signage platform, introduced to them by partner Dimension Data.

The solution implemented by Tripleplay involved deploying 83 screens across two main campuses and residences, using a mix of set-top boxes and System on Chip screens. This allowed CPUT to broadcast live institutional events and deliver targeted, up-to-date messages, significantly improving student communication and engagement. The reliable Tripleplay Encoder and the remote diagnostics tools within TripleCare saved considerable time and effort for the staff. The university community has received the system exceptionally well, and CPUT is now planning to expand the deployment to remote campuses and explore an IPTV service with Tripleplay.
