Since 1994 the Technical University of Eindhoven uses the PADS Professional software of Net Display Systems to inform personnel, students and visitors across the entire campus. The content displayed consists of a mix of general information, announcements of conferences and events, student association news, promotional information and more.
For effective communication across all buildings of the campus circa 40 displays have been placed at strategic positions: at entrances, lifts and canteens. The system uses the existing network of the university. Although this is an open network the security abilities of PADS turn out to be more than effective in protecting against attacks from hackers.
With more than 100 departments, organizations and associations within the TU/e the PADS digital signage system enjoy an excellent reputation. Content is supplied from all sides, because the PADS system is seen as the ideal way to reach the 3000 employees, 240 lecturers and more than 7000 students. Today there is significant use of connecting RSS feeds with up-to-date news to the PADS system.
