tkm9 Group is a full service digital agency that innovates cutting-edge technology for
market leading clients worldwide. When approached by Westfield Miranda to create
a unique shopping experience for customers, tkm9 set out to transform three large
pillars into an engaging promotional piece.
To create the illusion of a screen that seamlessly wraps around each pillar, tkm9
needed the im|display screens on each side to comminucate with each other. The
challenge was to coordinate the content remotely through tkm9’s bespoke content
management platform, im|tkm9.
James Best from tkm9 Group selected NetComm Wireless’ 3G M2M Routers
(NTC-6200 Series) to connect and manage the media players powering each
im|display screen.
“Each four sided pillar at Westfield Miranda has eight im|display screens and four
players powering it. They all needed to communicate with each other, support and
upload content remotely.” said James.

“We use NTC-6000 Series Routers to upload content and
support our devices remotely. It also allows for our content
to synchronise and seamlessly wrap around all faces of the
pillar. Using the routers, tkm9 can support and update content
through im|tkm9 remotely.”
This was achieved by connecting the media players to a switch that connects
to the NTC-6000 Series Router. The router then delivers fast and reliable data
communications and remote management capabilities over 3G.
“We use NTC-6000 Series Routers to upload content and support our devices
remotely. It also allows for our content to synchronise and seamlessly wrap around all
faces of the pillar. Using the routers, tkm9 can support and update content through
im|tkm9 remotely.”

As 90% of the issues faced by tkm9 are software related, the remote management
capabilites of the NTC-6000 Series save time and money by allowing tkm9 to
trouble shoot issues and update software without dispatching an onsite technician to
manually resolve any issues at hand.
With easy access to 3G, displays can be installed at any location without the need for
a fixed line ADSL, cable or fibre connection.
“The NTC-6000 also eliminates installation limitations due to connectivity. Our
installations can be mobile or permanent and the client does not need to install
network infrastructure as we can supply an all-in-one solution.”
To provide clients with a point of difference and a tangible ROI, reliability is critical.
NTC-6000 Series Routers have demonstrated long-term durability. “The product
maintains itself. We have over 70 in the market now, and have not had one call back
or issue with them over the years.”
