LG Business Cloud enables customers to establish a highly secure common point of access for their LG digital signage devices using a straightforward, one-time sign-up process. User privilege, access control and single sign-on (SSO), license management, site and location structure are all designed to be easy to use yet flexible for the largest deployment.

“LG has long been a leader in providing intuitive, scalable software and platform solutions to help integrators and their customers remotely monitor and manage digital signage networks as well as distribute and customize content,” said LG Business Solutions USA Senior Vice President Michael Kosla. “Now, the launch of the LG Business Cloud puts all the tools they need to manage these services in one place, with clear value propositions and a consolidated platform experience.”

Kosla added that the company’s focus on software and services, which supports LG’s global transformation into a Smart Life Solutions company beyond a hardware manufacturer, provides significant benefits to commercial display customers. The LG Business Cloud is a multi-service SaaS cloud platform that provides integrators and business owners simple access to the powerful capabilities of LG ConnectedCare, LG Pro:Centric Cloud, LG Pro:Centric Stay and LG SuperSign Cloud. By eliminating the need to install and manage on-site servers and software running on the servers, each service helps businesses further reduce up-front costs and long-term maintenance requirements.

LG SuperSign Cloud

LG SuperSign Cloud is a powerful content management system (CMS) designed to boost a retailer’s digital signage campaigns by providing “anywhere, anytime” control of content, remote control of individual displays or the entire network of displays to set on/off scheduling and make real-time changes to content. The software enables easy uploading and distribution of content as well as expert-level editing tools, including music selection.

SuperSign Cloud users can also enhance their content creation using third-party design templates, digital art, and even live on-screen presentation of social media feeds. For example, the specialized DSmenu service allows users to easily create digital menu boards, while PosterMyWall helps users design eye-catching promotional materials — each offering incredible value to retail and food establishments that require frequent updates. The ArtPlayer service grants access to an array of digital art, while Screenfeed enables companies to simply and cleanly display Instagram feeds through digital signage. Wantreez Music provides expertly curated playlists that harmonize with on-screen content to elevate ambiance in a variety of settings.

LG Pro:Centric Stay

With the new LG Pro:Centric Stay platform, LG offers short-term rental property managers and owners a powerful cloud-based TV content distribution and management solution, using powerful tools to create personalized guest experiences for on-premise TVs. The platform makes these powerful capabilities available to virtually any size short-term rental hosts to multinational ”staycation” businesses. It’s easy to create welcome pages, local guides and custom content through Pro:Centric’s familiar drag-and-drop interface that includes widgets such as weather, maps, flight information and more.

LG ConnectedCare

LG ConnectedCare is a network manager’s best friend, offering extremely powerful tools to ensure consistent operation of the entire network of displays regardless of deployment size or variety of displays. This is an active monitoring service that automatically sends alert emails to preset recipients for more than 20 common operations errors, and enables remote adjustments to resolve issues and fine tune device settings.

The main selling point is the ability to eliminate or greatly reduce screen down time, which can directly affect a property’s revenue and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the ability to manage multiple devices at once reduces labor time and boosts efficiency when enacting changes or updates.

“Each of these cloud-based services provides high-value functions, efficiency gains and up-front cost savings to help businesses maximize guest experiences, revenues and communication opportunities,” Kosla said. “With the new consolidated user experience unveiled at InfoComm, the LG Business Cloud can be a game-changer for commercial integrators and their customers.”

Healthcare Technologies Improve Staff and Patient Experiences with LG

The post BIC, LG’s Latest Business Innovation Center has Opened in New Jersey appeared first on Digital IT News.

At the heart of conference rooms today are high-resolution displays that facilitate dynamic content sharing and serve as a focal point for presentations. When purchasing these displays, businesses encounter a crucial decision: choosing between a consumer TV or a commercial display specifically engineered to withstand the demands of a contemporary business environment.

In this article, I will present the argument for utilizing commercial displays in conference rooms, emphasizing the importance of businesses evaluating their unique use cases before making a purchase decision.

User Simplicity

Most design engineers will tell you that the desired functionality of a video conference room should enable someone to walk into the room and use a table-top touch panel to see the upcoming meeting. The user would then hit the “Start Meeting” button and then the display, and all other peripherals such as camera, microphone, etc., will startup and show the Microsoft Teams Room, Zoom Room, Meets, or other video conferencing platform.

More simply, the desired use case is a one button tap to start. When the user is finished with the meeting, the one tap to end the call is the same, touch the panel to end the meeting and the system shuts down all of the components, including the display.

CEC vs. “Wake/Sleep”

While most video bars and other video conferencing systems do send some CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) commands, a more standardized way of presenting this “one touch start” is through the commercial displays’ ability to read the HDMI Clock and Data packets coming from the video bar or room system.

For context, HDMI was initially created for the consumer market, but as adoption became more widespread, it eventually bled into the commercial market. The latest version of HDMI 2.1, for example, is able to support more demands of commercial AV systems.

This is important because CEC was created as a means to control HDMI connected devices using only one remote controller. Because of the HDMI standard’s consumer roots, that makes perfect sense. If a consumer purchased an LG TV and soundbar, it would be much more convenient to control both devices from a single remote.

The desired conference room use case, however, may see issues relying on this CEC system to appropriately control the display via HDMI as there are no real documented standards for CEC between devices and display manufacturers. Most commercial display manufacturers have integrated a wake on signal protocol into the firmware of their displays. These protocols automatically recognize when a signal is sent to the display and wakes it from sleep. It also knows to stay dark when a signal isn’t detected. This is accomplished through signal sensing and not CEC.

In some cases, the user must set the display’s menu to go to sleep with power on and not turn off completely. Moreover, there are a few different power management settings that should be enabled or disabled to get the desired wake/sleep functions on a commercial display.

Fortunately for LG customers using many partner video bars, these settings are baked into the LG firmware to automatically change when plugging in the video bar via HDMI. All they have to do is plug the video bar to power, plug the video bar into the display via HDMI and power it up.

Commercial is Always the Winner

Furthermore, wake on signal isn’t the only advantage for commercial displays over consumer options in conference rooms. Many consumer displays come with out of the box support for apps such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu and more. In a professional setting, these applications may prove unprofessional at the least or at worst break company code of conduct. There is no easy way to lock out these applications nor control them from a central location.

Commercial’s warranty is another major advantage. For most consumer displays, the warranty becomes null and void if the product is used in a commercial setting. So, if a display stops working after six months, there is nothing the company can do to replace it. On a commercial display, there are typically two-to-three-year warranties with LG offering a 3-year, and even 5-year option on most commercial models.

Commercial displays also have greater longevity due to their higher brightness and ability to stay on for much longer than consumer displays. For example, a consumer display is typically rated for a max of eight hours of use, five days a week with around 200 – 300 Nits (Nits being a unit of brightness). Commercial displays range from 300 – 700 Nits in indoor spaces, running 16 to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These are ideal for spaces with higher sunlight or indoor working spaces with brighter lights than your typical living room.

So, while a consumer TV may be less expensive to purchase, it’s sure to lack the features and functionalities that address the unique demands of professional settings. As organizations navigate the landscape of technology options, commercial displays will help them craft a modern, reliable and efficient conferencing workspace.

The Patient Engagement Boards combine the security enabled through electronic medical records with the familiar experience of a personalized information board. The smart signage display is UL-listed for hospitals, and the 32-inch model can be powered over ethernet to simplify installation in existing patient rooms. Both sizes offer built-in stereo speakers and LG’s webOS 6.0 software.

The 15.6-inch Smart Touch Screen TV provides patients with an easy-to-use FHD 1080p touchscreen display that can offer access to games, apps, control of a separate in-room TV, and direct content playback utilizing integrated stereo speakers or the included headphone jack. The UL certified TV features industrial design that meets ISO 22196 standards for antimicrobial properties, making it the ideal bedside entertainment companion for a hospital stay.

Rounding out the Patient Room Zone is an advanced 55-inch 4K Ultra HD smart TV, one of the most popular healthcare TV models from LG Business Solutions, known as the leading provider of hospital TVs in the United States. Model 55UN672M is UL listed for hospitals and features the Pro:Centric® platform with webOS 22, along with Pro:Idiom® digital rights management and embedded b-LAN capability. The zone also examines how LG’s various commercial projectors can be deployed in patient rooms.

An adjacent table hosts a wide range of the popular LG gram laptops ranging from 14 inches to 17 inches.

Catering to the needs of many health care professionals who after the pandemic are continuing to work remotely, the Home Office Zone features a range of LG solutions meant to enhance remote healthcare work ranging from mobile thin clients and portable monitors to a One:Quick Flex display and a new curved 34-inch UltraWide QHD All-in-One Thin Client (model 34CR65).

The curved 3440×1440 display provides a 21:9 canvas with the ability to connect two additional 4K displays, enabling a wide range of uses across disciplines. Combining a minimalist design and quiet, fan-less operation with ergonomic height and tilt adjustment, LG offers six variant SKUs to enable a streamlined, productive workspace without clutter.

“In general, technology is most valuable and useful when it either simplifies existing processes or offers new advantages, which is true of every healthcare product we make,” Min said. “Whether it’s streamlining nurse logins with RFID-accessible thin clients or providing real-time updated scheduling and patient information through patient room digital displays, we are committed to enhancing operational security, reliability and functionality to help create tomorrow’s healthcare.”

With this bundle, LG is providing a complete solution that enables businessesto easily adopt managed ChromeOS Flex certified devices that have seamless access to all of their apps – including Windows, Linux, SaaS, and internal web apps – as progressive web apps (PWAs) directly from their LG ChromeOS Flex certified devices via Cameyo.

“Our recent research shows that 53%* of businesses surveyed currently have ChromeOS deployed in some capacity within their organization,” said Gabe Knuth, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). “Though these organizations realize the benefit of ChromeOS, many have not embraced it enterprise-wide due to the inability to easily access all of their apps – especially Windows apps. This bundle, coupled with last week’s announcement that Cameyo has been integrated into ChromeOS, can increase adoption of ChromeOS devices in the enterprise without disrupting end users’ access to Windows apps that are core to the business.”

The LG & Cameyo bundle for ChromeOS is available today, and helps organizations of all sizes recognize the following benefits:

• Seamless User Experience – Instead of virtual desktop environments that force users to log in to a separate virtual Windows experience just so they can access their apps, the integration of ChromeOS and Cameyo provides simple, unified access to all of an organization’s apps for a better end-user experience.
• Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership – Enterprise Strategy Group’s (ESG) recent Economic Validation study found that ChromeOS and Cameyo provide a 54%* reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to virtual desktops. *(Economic Validation: Analyzing the Economic Benefits of ChromeOS and Cameyo, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), May 2023)
• Increased Security – While many remote access technologies like VDI and DaaS expose firewall and server ports to the open internet, increasing the attack surface, ChromeOS and Cameyo’s Zero Trust security models remove those risks by locking down firewall and server ports and eliminating the need for VPNs. This keeps apps and devices isolated from network resources so that users only access the apps and data they need.
• Eliminating the Complexity of Virtual Desktops – This bundle enables organizations to eliminate the infrastructure and licensing complexity of delivering full virtual desktops to their users, all while maintaining access to their apps.

“LG is deeply committed to providing organizations with cloud-first devices that are easy to manage, secure, and cost-effective. We’re proud to work alongside them as we continue to see increased demand for ChromeOS in the enterprise,” said Andrew Miller, CEO of Cameyo. “This collaboration and bundle gives organizations an end-to-end solution that enables them to simply provide their users with an LG ChromeOS Flex Certified device and, as soon as they log in with their SSO of choice, get instant access to all of their apps.”

Just three years after becoming an IGEL-ready technology partner, LG Business Solutions has been named IGEL Ready Collaboration Partner of the Year.

Stephen K. Hu, senior director of IT business development at LG Business Solutions USA, said, “As cloud computing and edge devices grow in popularity, our partnership with IGEL, and the availability of IGEL OS on our products, will further enhance our competitive strength and position LG as a forward-looking technology leader that rapidly adapts to shifts in business culture and needs.”

LG Business Solutions USA became an official IGEL Ready partner in 2020 and has already introduced a number of models of laptops, all-in-one thin clients and desktop thin clients running the IGEL OS to provide customers with greater choice and flexibility as they pursue cloud-based solutions. The partnership provides LG access to IGEL’s core enterprise software for validation and integration into new hardware. The success of this partnership continues to grow, and LG’s 2023 product roadmap includes multiple additional IGEL OS models that will be launched simultaneously alongside traditional OS-based hardware.

“Congratulations to LG Business Solutions on its success as a valued member of the IGEL Ready ecosystem,” said Divya Saggar, Director, IGEL Ready. “We are grateful for LG’s commitment to IGEL Ready, and proud to be working with them to fulfill our mission of making it easier for our mutual customers to deploy, secure and manage their modern workplace environments.”

The broad feature set of IGEL OS supports remote access and reliable multi-protocol connectivity to VDI environments and cloud workspaces including support for Citrix, VMware and Microsoft via LG Electronics’ family of cloud-based endpoint devices. Through the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) software, users of LG’s cloud devices also benefit from a robust and secure standardized endpoint security and optimization system that enables the cost-effective management of any terminal device running the Linux-based IGEL OS.
