1. Scenario

A media company operates a network of digital advertising screens located at bus stops and outdoor plazas.

• Challenges: Laying wired internet cables to these scattered outdoor locations is expensive. Technicians currently have to visit each site manually to update video content or reboot frozen screens, leading to high maintenance costs.

3. Implementation

• High-Speed Content Updates: The media player connects to the IR302 via a LAN port or Wi-Fi
  . Large video files and advertising schedules are downloaded remotely over the 4G/LTE network
  , eliminating manual site visits.

• Auto-Recovery: To prevent system freezes during long-term operation, the router is configured with Scheduled Tasks to automatically reboot at 3:00 AM every day
  . Additionally, the built-in software and hardware watchdog ensures the device stays online by recovering from connection failures.

• Remote Management: Operators use the InHand Device Manager cloud platform to monitor the signal strength and online status of hundreds of screens in real-time.

4. Benefits

• Cost Efficiency: Eliminates expensive cabling and truck rolls for content updates.

• Stability: Automated reboots and link detection mechanisms ensure maximizing advertising uptime.

• Scalability: New screens can be deployed quickly anywhere with cellular coverage.
