Qsignage 4.0: an interview to define the boundaries of real interactivity, functionality and performance in digital signage

/in

Several hundred installations in a dozen different locations worldwide; an history dating back to 2010. This is, in a nutshell the track record of Quintetto’s digital signage platform, Qsignage 4.0. A story that is still flying high with new vibrant perspectives for the closing of 2022. Now, an article created by our friends and partners at Softec Spa takes stock of the situation of digital signage as a media “tout-court” and defines the new boundaries of a market segment still battled between poorly performing digital “billboarding” and really effective tools for interaction with customers to grant superior communication and interaction experience.

Qroom-plus / holographic co-working station project takes off in Aosta

/in

Qroom-plus is the name of the new project from Quintetto that has been selected for financing in the frame of the Call for R&D clusters of the Economic Development, Training and Labour Department of the Aosta Valley Region. The project has been presented officially in Aosta on Wednesday 13th of April during the event “Territorial development policies for a digital, sustainable and green Aosta Valley” in collaboration with the Chambre Valdôtaine des entreprises et des activités libérales – Desk SPIN2 and Confindustria Valle d’Aosta.
The project involves the design and creation of one pre-production prototype of a holographic co-working module, enabling several users connected simultaneously to the system, to engage in active and concrete cooperation activities through their holographic representation and reciprocal view/hearing/speaking. The prototype is meant to constitute the foundation unit of a fully scalable modular system.

This moves telepresence to a new degree of sophistication allowing it to serve real world situations with practical and user-friendly systems being able to overcome limits of space, distance and functionality.

The pre-production prototype is planned to be delivered in April 2023, one year from now.

Quintetto expands its competencies to Smart City and Sustainability in communities.

/in

Last summer Quintetto took part to the  2nd Training Programme for Clusters, SMEs and scale-up organizations initiative, (see our post Qroom hits marks…on Aug. 1st 2021). This  allowed the company to improve its understanding of the smart cities demand of technologies and innovative solutions for the development of comprehensive systems aimed at improving the access to services from citizens. The two months programme focused on several real use cases thus casting light on differences in approach and implementation of local authorities in countries and the way in which they prioritise their goals. A clearer view and a sounder background on these strategies and visions will allow to build more accurate segmentation of proposals when it comes to planning the development of new technologies and features of existing architectural solutions, such as is the case for Quintetto.

The participation has been sanctioned by a certificate issued by the programme coordinator, the SmartCTClusters Network.

Catwalk for Quintetto and its advanced know-how in holography and real-time multidevice communication on Il Sole 24 Ore last September 27th.

The primary Italian financial newspaper published a few days ago a short article summarising the essential elements of Qcast and Qroom two extremely innovative solutions of Quintetto’s portfolio which are attracting the attention and interest of two rapidly accelerating markets: telepresence and professional remote communication.  Security, high performance, low bandwidth consumption, absolute real time, simplicity and cost-effectiveness, ubiquity of operating models and interactivity were emphasized in the article together with a to-the-point focus on Quintetto’s vision: that of “naturalising” the interaction between humans and advanced technology.

Qroom hits marks at major European Smart City event.

/in

With a pitching session held on 13th of July Quintetto presented its Qroom to an audience of about 200 international specialists, at the closing of the 2nd Training Programme for Clusters, SMEs and scale-up organizations initiative.

The 5-days programme organized by the SmartCTClusters project (*), to which Quintetto took part as a selected member of TorinoWireless (https://www.torinowireless.it/?lang=en), involved 5 international speakers, 4 Smart Cities, 16 stakeholders or market players, and 16 SMEs specialising around the pillars of Ict, Energy, Mobility, and Public Administration: an extended scale online event with participants from 17 different countries representing relevant agents of the Smart cities ecosystem, such as City Councils, Clusters, Professional Associations, Companies & SME, non-profit-organizations, Public Administrations, Start-Ups, Technology Consulting agencies, and technological centers.

The opportunity allowed Quintetto to enhance its knowledge of smart cities demand and needs so as to establish relationships for technology integration and development of comprehensive solutions aimed at improving the access to services from citizens. In this frame, holographic telepresence for interactive services represented here by Quintetto’s Qroom proved to be a pretty hot item as it addresses in a very simple but effective way a whole new category of remote service provision in true real time and full interaction in the town and communities environment.

(*) The project (https://smartctclusters.eu/), is one of the 13 European Strategic Partnerships for Excellence selected under the last call for proposals of the European Cluster Excellence Programme. It involves five European clusters operating in the field of  and aims to develop a common strategy to support the development of Smart Cities through the exchange of best practices and the identification of innovative models of support to the clusters member companies.
