and be exceedingly costly.  Also, the process of

running wires often results in destroyed walls

and unsightly cables left in view.  A wireless

solution affords a cleaner, crisper installation

that can be easily modified or reconfigured.

“If we chose to install a wired solution at

National Supermarket #2, the job would have

required over 500 feet of cable, which would

have cost approximately $800, and the installa-

tion time would be upwards of 20 hours,” said

Lee.  “By purchasing a wireless solution from

Avocent, we were able to reduce our costs and

cut our installation time down to six hours.”

Wireless provides full motion video

Lee purchased the Avocent AutoView

®

Wireless switch and installed one transmitter

and six receivers for National Supermarket #2.

The Avocent AutoView Wireless switching sys-

tem is a hardware-only plug-and-play solution

that offers extension, switching and broadcast-

ing capabilities for a variety of applications.

The transmitter and receiver send audio, video

and digital data up to 100 feet through walls

and greater than 300 feet line-of-sight. 

“We chose the Avocent solution because there

is no software required and we needed full

motion video performance,” said Lee.  “We

looked at other competitors but their ability to

handle video, higher resolution and higher

frames per second paled in comparison to the

Avocent solution.” 

For other organizations considering the use 

of digital display signage, Lee recommends a

plug-and-play wireless system. It’s a 

hardware-only solution that eliminates 

configuration problems and compatibility

issues. Getting the system set up, tested and

running is also easy and immediate.

“The Avocent solution is meeting our 

business needs by helping us save time and

money,” said Lee. “The time to install is 

significantly reduced versus a wired solution

and it’s a turnkey system that works across

the board from end to end.  It works inter-

changeably with whatever I want to use from

a hardware or software operating system

standpoint, enabling me to mix and match

different components to create a more 

cost-effective total solution.”

A wireless solution meets the needs of a store

like National Supermarket #2 from a change

perspective as well.

Avocent wireless advantages

“The wireless solution was very appealing to

me because I didn’t have to worry about 

opening holes or running conduit and I can

move it anywhere in the store,” said Carlos

Hernandez, owner and operator of National

Supermarket #2.  “The nature of the super-

market business requires store resets.  Things

get shifted around a lot due to new item 

activity and I can move these screens any-

where my needs dictate.” 

Lee anticipates installing dynamic digital 

signage with wireless networks in an additional

20 supermarkets within the next six months.

He describes the wireless solution as a definite

added advantage for his existing customers

and one that is sure to create additional 

business opportunities.

“We’re a high tech organization but this gives

us additional bounce,” said Lee.  “Going over

the last year, had I been able to offer this 

solution, I probably could have closed some

deals that I otherwise couldn’t.  In the past,

people were too concerned with the business

disruption, amount of time to do the installation

and the property damage caused by securing

cable. Avocent has allowed us to implement a

solution and solve a problem in a very short

period of time while adding a new dimension

to our capabilities.”
