Which things do I have to organize before I can run the InfoTV narrowcasting system on my location?

Next to purchasing a screen, the only thing you need to have set up before our narrowcasting system can run on location: a stable WiFi internet connection and at least two electrical outlets.

In which cases is a mechanic absolutely necessary?

A few examples when a mechanic is required: no wired internet is present at the screen location, the screen and accessories need to meet a certain standard of theft prevention, or when there is no in-house technical service.

InfoTV provides professional installation of your screen, in order to be sure you can make the best use of the functionalities of InfoTV within your business. That way, you don’t have to worry about anything and can use your screen right away!

Costs

Which monthly costs and which starting costs do I have with InfoTV?

The monthly costs with each different InfoTV subscription package can be found in our pricing model.

Aside from the screens you need our receivers connected to the internet in order to run our system, € 299 per receiver. These receivers are bought, and remain your property.

How does the invoice process look like? Are there different options regarding contract period?

When all hardware is taken care of, what remains are the licensing costs. Herefor we apply a monthly rate based on the number of screens. All modules are always included in the subscription, so all freedom remains for you to arrange the screen the way you like. Invoicing can be done monthly, quarterly or yearly, but always beforehand. That way you aren’t stuck to a yearly contract period, but can withdraw your subscription every month.

Because each assembly is a tailor-made job, we make an offer for each different assembly service. The costs are comprised of a call out fee, materials and work hours.
