Orange Barrel Media is a large digital signage company that works to provide signage for major areas around the DFW area, including the Texas Stadium. The main reason that this company reached out to Politon is because of the poor connectivity that their main building’s fiber optic cable provided, impacting signage control.
With their previous vendor, lots of the fiber used was not properly protected with a fanout kit, making connectivity extremely delicate for the company. As a result, they had to terminate the majority of the fiber used. However, Orange Barrel Media did not want to completely eliminate all the technological work that was already done for them, so they turned to Politon to fix what was necessary to help the company run smoothly. Thus, Politon re-terminated the fibers, plugged them back in, and certified the strands that needed fixing so that it met industry standards. Although this may only be a temporary solution for Orange Barrel Media, they were excited to be up and running again thanks to Politon.
Working with Orange Barrel Media was a neat, interesting project to work on because of the unique challenges that were presented. Not to mention, Orange Barrel Media has beautiful artwork displayed on the outside of its headquarters, making for a visually appealing project to work on as well.
