Taxi advertising signs are becoming more popular as mobile internet technologies become more mature. In-vehicle advertising has really taken off due to the broad availability of 4G, and now 5G wireless data. It’s never been easier to reach taxi cab riders using high-quality video content.
Ad agencies increasingly rely on taxi advertising screens to reach a captive audience. Taxi operators see mobile touch screens as a means to increase revenues and improve the passenger experience in public transportation.
Android tablets are an ideal platform for this type of application. Commercial-grade tablets are rugged and versatile so they are the perfect hardware solution for in-vehicle use. With taxi advertising screens, passengers are kept entertained. In-vehicle screens can display real-time content and geo-located advertising messaging based on the vehicle’s location.
The QL solution
