AthenaSpace has secured Crestron's Works with Crestron AirMedia Technology certification for its AthenaSignage digital signage module, confirming compatibility with screens running Crestron AirMedia.
The certification allows organisations to use existing meeting-room and shared displays for digital signage when they are not being used for presentations or conferencing, without separate hardware or additional installation.
Crestron's certification programme assesses third-party products for compatibility within its technology ecosystem. For AthenaSpace, the approval gives customers a way to add centrally managed signage to displays already deployed in workplaces, healthcare sites, schools, universities, and retail locations.
AthenaSignage is managed through the AthenaSpace dashboard, giving administrators a single view of signage across different sites. The setup is aimed at organisations with mixed hardware estates that want to manage content across multiple locations and display types from one platform.
Screens that would otherwise sit idle between meetings can be used to show announcements, updates, wayfinding information, emergency notices, and other communications. In practice, a display used for a conference call or presentation can switch to signage once the meeting ends.
The certification also broadens AthenaSpace's reach in managed environments where digital communications are spread across a range of spaces. Hospitals and clinics may use screens for corridor information, while retailers can use the same approach for in-store messaging and offices for internal notices.
Tanish Dhillon, Executive Director, AthenaSpace, linked the certification to the economics of workplace display use.
"Most screens in a workplace only earn their keep while they're running a meeting," said Tanish Dhillon, Executive Director, AthenaSpace.
