Liverpool Plains Shire Council | CommBox Case Study

Step inside Liverpool Plains Shire Council’s public library and you will be met with a perfect example of what a CommBox touchscreen can provide for your community.

This installation has provided immeasurable value to the Liverpool Plains Shire community, with the applications spanning from the engagement of youth right through to aiding local business and Council operations.

To begin with, the installation in the Library’s Kid Zone offers a fun, engaging and innovative way for children of all ages to learn and interact. Installed on a low-profile fixed mount, the unit takes up hardly any real estate on the floor which allows children to gather around it on the foam seating provided or even on the floor, meaning it can be used for group activities and events hosted in the library such as story time, in addition to solo by any children visitors. The mount is actually height adjustable so whatever their size, the children need only lower or raise the screen to start taking advantage of the built-in kids apps and web browser.

A second, mobile unit is reserved in the library for other visitors wishing to conduct research, or use any of the many in-bult apps.

When these screens aren’t in use they are continuing to provide value in the way of digital signage around upcoming library events, news or policies.

These touchscreens are built tough with premium components and toughened glass to withstand use by children and adults alike, so they are perfect for this kind of environment.

As well as the units in the library, a mobile unit complete with video conference equipment and a built-in OPS is available to local businesses through Liverpool Shire Plains Community Hub.

This unit is part of a billable space, so in addition to providing value to local businesses by giving them access to this innovative technology, it is actively contributing to bringing in revenue.

Liverpool Shire Plains also use their CommBox touchscreens for video conferencing and streaming in their Chamber Building and as a presentation tool in their training rooms.

The CommBox devices that we have installed at Quirindi Library Precinct have enabled us to provide a variety of services to our users including video conferencing and hosting event live-streams.  The signage interface is easy to use, and in our ‘Kids Zone’ the digital screen is very popular for drawing.  The CommBox Support Team are easy to contact and very helpful, and the team at Leading Edge have provided support since installation of our devices.
