Case Study: Swisscom achieves seamless live-TV switching and tri-lingual digital signage across 90 stores in 2 months with YCD Multimedia

Ycd Multimedia And Wesitform Create a Tri-Lingual Signage Solution For Swisscom Capable Of Switching To Live Tv Broadcast at The Touch Of a Button

Swisscom, Switzerland’s leading telecommunications and IT services provider, needed to upgrade its in-store media centers across over 90 retail locations to enable instant, seamless switching from pre-recorded advertising playlists to live TV, accommodate a tri‑lingual customer base, and do so on a tight two‑month deadline. YCD Multimedia (working with Westiform) and its Cnario Digital Signage Suite were engaged to meet these requirements.

YCD Multimedia implemented a solution that retained Swisscom’s existing hardware, added an 88.7‑inch EloTouch panel at each site, and used Cnario to centrally deliver, synchronize and switch tri‑lingual content and live broadcasts over a 1024 encrypted virtual private network. The Westiform/YCD Multimedia rollout met the two‑month timeline across 90 stores, improved image quality while protecting prior investments, and enabled seamless live‑TV playback and language‑specific advertising at the touch of a button.
