Exactly this. 👇 What we are seeing across client work is that broadcast and media technology teams are no longer dealing with change in neat, separate categories. 📺📡⚙️ Cloud cost modelling ☁️💷, IP interoperability Docker and Kubernetes advanced codecs 🎥 service desk harmonisation 🛠️ agentic AI 🤖, adtech and monetisation 📊💰 observability 👀 and data visualisation 📈 These may look like very different topics on the surface, but they are all part of the same underlying shift. 🧩and a new singularity of technologies that Media and Telco organisations must grapple with, not in isolation, but in chorus. The technology stack is becoming broader, more software-defined, more data-driven and more interconnected. 🌐⚡ That creates a real capability challenge for organisations: how do you keep teams confident, operationally effective and commercially aware while the environment around them keeps changing? 👥🚀 At Tequate Ltd, this is where we do a lot of our work: helping broadcast, media and technology organisations build the knowledge, skills and shared understanding needed to adapt in practice, not just in theory. 🎯📚 Follow Tequate Ltd for more practical insight on broadcast technology, media transformation and the skills needed to keep pace with increasingly complex workflows. 👇🚀 #BroadcastMedia #MediaTech #TechnologyTransformation #Cloud #AI #DevOps #BroadcastEngineering #BuildingKnowledge

There's a common assumption in home automation that premium results require specialist AV integrators on site. We've built our entire model around disproving that. Baulogic systems are pre-configured off-site at our UK facility so they’re built, programmed, and tested before they arrive on your development. When the hardware is delivered, it's designed to be installed by your existing qualified electricians, using clear schematics, cable schedules, and a dedicated technical support line. No specialist contractors to coordinate. No expensive day rates for on-site programmers. No risk of a niche integrator holding up your handover programme. The result is a premium KNX-based smart home system that fits into your standard build process, with none of the complexity that has historically made home automation difficult for developers to specify with confidence. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eccgkFWQ #PropertyDevelopment #HomeAutomation #KNX #ResidentialDevelopment #Electrician

Tuesday and more things arrive on a desk somewhere :) We have successfully integrated the new Espressif C5 Dual Band (2.4/5GHz) WiFi module into a carrier board, designed and manufactured in the UK. The inclusion of 5GHz provides more stability, data transfer & ability for the network to handle more clients as a result. These modules have a 5v input voltage and a 6 pin JST-GH connector allowing them to be easily integrated into standard flight control systems via Serial such as the Cube.

QGEMS is excited to host the North East .NET Developers Meetup at our QGEMS Newcastle offices on March 24th. Looks like it will be a great evening for developers with  pizza, two excellent technical talks and great conversations with some of the best software developers in the North East. Our QGEMS Technical Director, Mark Thompson, will be speaking on Encryption in a Post-Quantum World, a topic that is at embedded at the core of what we do at QGEMS. Talk 1- Encryption in a Post-Quantum World with QGEMS Technical Director Mark Thompson Fresh from DDD North, Mark will explore how encryption must evolve in a world where quantum computing is becoming a real threat. You’ll learn: ·      Why post-quantum encryption matters today ·      How current encryption could become vulnerable ·      Practical code examples you can implement yourself ·      No complicated maths — just real-world concepts and usable code. Talk 2- Performance vs Best Practices — Adam Parker Adam will walk through a real-world application, using benchmarks to demonstrate how different design approaches affect performance, and when it might actually make sense to break the “rules”. If you care about performance, architecture, and practical trade-offs, this talk will be right up your street. Whether you're a seasoned .NET developer or just passionate about building great software, this is a fantastic chance to learn, share ideas, and connect with the local dev community. We look forward to welcoming you at our offices on March 24th, 2026 from 5.30pm to 8.00pm.

What Are The Types Of Digital Signage That Actually Work Most people think digital signage is just a TV on a wall looping slides. It is not. Let’s be real. If that is your strategy, you have bought an expensive poster. Digital signage runs UK high streets, transport hubs, offices and buses. It drives sales. It manages information. It updates in real time. When done properly, it works hard. Here are the main types that actually deliver results. Indoor digital signage Retail screens. Hotel displays. Gym promotions. Reception boards. These push offers, upsell products and manage live campaigns. Connect them to stock or booking systems and content updates automatically. No USB sticks. No last minute panic. Menu boards Static menus are dinosaurs. Prices change. Stock runs out. Breakfast becomes lunch. Digital boards switch content instantly. They can promote slow moving items or adjust pricing in seconds. That is not fancy tech. It is common sense. Outdoor digital signage High brightness screens built for British weather. You see them on high streets and at stations. These are used for advertising, public messages and event campaigns. Install the wrong screen outside and it will fail. Expensive lesson. Programmatic digital out of home Here is what is actually happening. Billboard space can be bought automatically, like online ads. Content can change based on weather, time or location. Rain in Manchester. Show umbrellas. Heat in London. Push cold drinks. But this only works if the network is stable. Blank screens do not sell anything. Interactive kiosks These are not passive screens. They respond. Used in shopping centres and public spaces. Customers search, book or enquire. Connect them to CRM systems and every enquiry can trigger follow up automatically. Wayfinding screens Ever been lost in a hospital corridor. Exactly. Wayfinding screens provide maps and live updates. Airports and large offices rely on them. Cloud systems keep information current. No outdated printouts. Corporate digital signage Important updates get buried in emails. Nobody reads them. Put key metrics and announcements on screens in shared spaces. People notice what they see every day. Event digital posters Events move fast. Printed posters do not. Digital posters update schedules instantly. No reprints. No waste. Vehicle and transport screens Buses and trains now carry digital displays. Inside and out. This is constant visibility. But only if the infrastructure is solid. Transparent window displays These attract attention without blocking light. Perfect for retail on busy streets. Still using faded vinyl from three years ago. Stop pretending that is enough. Cut the nonsense. Choosing digital signage is not about what looks cool. Ask three questions. Where will it sit. Who is watching it. What should it achieve. Digital signage is not one thing. It is an ecosystem of indoor, outdoor and interactive systems. The real question is simple. Are your screens generating revenue or just decoration. Cleartwo designs signage systems that actually work. Strategy first. Tech second. #digitalsignage #retailtech #hospitality #smartbuildings #outofhome See first comment for more detail.

We help production and event companies who own millions of pounds worth of high-value, mobile AV equipment such as console desks, distros, generators answer these day to day questions without emailing or calling: - Where’s my kit? - Is it on route? Has it arrived with the customer? - When was it used and how long for? We are proud to be spotlighted alongside Behind The Volt, AeroAVA, Old Skool Bus Events - Kitchen & Bar, Optimal Crew, JSF Event Services. Ashley Smith and Lisa S.
