Bridging the Gap Between Sound and Vision
While nnounce devices are fully integratable with other PA ecosystems, such as Q-SYS, their true power emerges when perfectly paired with Simpleway’s digital signage and public address cloud software, creating a uniquely cohesive and effective communication experience.
Retail, hospitality, educational, healthcare sectors, warehouses, company campuses, and more can adopt the nnounce platform with Enterprise CX system, meeting diverse communication needs and empowering synchronized messaging across environments.
nnounce products paired with Airport CX elevate the passenger experience for airports of all sizes. Operators can instantly trigger announcements for specific flights or trips, with displays automatically updating to show accurate, real-time information, keeping travelers informed and enhancing their journey.
For ground public transport, including trains, ferries, and buses, the Transit CX platform unified with nnounce devices allows for robust and timely management of location-specific announcements and visual information updates throughout entire transportation networks.
