Powered by iCompel, Reserva Signs Bring New Efficiencies and Dynamic Communications Opportunities to Meeting Room Management

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Aug. 12, 2020 — Black Box, a global information technology solutions provider, today introduced the Reserva line of touch-screen meeting room signage solutions powered by the company’s flagship iCompel^® digital signage platform. Available in three screen sizes, Reserva signs provide an intuitive and customizable user interface that enables users to locate and schedule rooms in an instant.

“Our new Reserva line of signs takes all the hassle out of booking a meeting room. With just a glance at a Reserva sign, you can tell whether a room is available, view a summary of scheduled appointments and see appointment options based on when the room is available or busy,” said Jonathan McCune, director of product management – AV & Infrastructure. “Organizations are able to use their meeting spaces more efficiently, and — since Reserva is powered by iCompel — they can turn their room signage into a dynamic communications platform. Businesses, educational institutions and hospitality venues can use Reserva to advertise, build brand awareness and share their internal communications seamlessly and efficiently.”

The Reserva line is available in 10-inch, 15.6-inch, and 21.5-inch models. The two larger displays can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientations and provide visibility from a greater distance, and can display digital signage in four zones. Also available is the Reserva Wayfinder/Meeting Summary solution for displaying upcoming meetings in reception areas, next to elevators or in other public areas. Reserva Analytics is a browser-based solution that provides room booking data in a clear, easy-to-use dashboard.

With the Reserva customizable interface, organizations can create their own conference room signage and add their unique branding, custom content and background style. The iCompel-driven signs can display any type of digital signage content alongside the meeting room information. Content can be displayed at full screen or in a multizone layout on any interactive Reserva meeting room screen or iCompel digital signage.

Included with each Reserva sign is the Reserva Connection Manager application, which offers centralized control over each room signage configuration. The Connection Manager is fast and easy to set up, provides integrations with multiple calendar systems and — when connected to the iCompel CMS — provides remote monitoring of room signs through features such as remote screenshot, support snapshot and offline operation.

The Reserva family includes a best-in-class security framework based on iCompel’s proprietary operating system, with the ability to deliver security updates to the full software stack remotely over a network. In addition, the Reserva system provides integrations with most leading business and education solutions.
