    Focalcast boosts digital out-of-home
    media with four new Makati towers
     

    FLAT LCD screens installed in elevator lobbies of popular corporate towers and high-traffic office buildings that show weather forecast and other relevant and up-to-the-minute breaking news have become a trend-setting medium that largely benefits office workers and visitors alike.

    Internet-enabled digital out-of-home (OOH) media presence in the central business areas is likewise envisioned to become a major alternative medium for relevant information and other Internet-based contents catering to the fast-paced lifestyles of today’s working class and entrepreneurs.

    Focalcast Inc., the new media company that is now bridging ultra-modern office and commercial buildings via cutting-edge Internet technologies, has added four new Makati buildings recently to its rapidly growing network of corporate edifices, which include the Ayala Life-FGU Center, Rufino Pacific Tower and GT Tower International on Ayala Avenue, and Petron Mega Plaza on Gil Puyat Avenue.

    These landmark structures join 16 other Focalcast-equipped buildings in Makati and Ortigas, which include LKG Tower, Burgundy Corporate Tower, Trafalgar Plaza, V.A. Rufino Building, Cityland 10, Jollibee Plaza, Raffles Corporate Center, Antel Global Corporate Center and JMT Building, at the forefront.

    Focalcast will further boost its internet-enabled digital OOH media presence in the central business districts in the coming months. Through the Internet, Focalcast’s flat LCD screens installed in elevator lobbies of its corporate network simultaneously deliver news, building messages and other information to tenants while waiting for their elevator ride.

    “Our building is well-suited to Focalcast’s technology, since many of our tenants are professionals who want up-to-the-minute news. They tend to be tech-savvy and want access to the latest high-tech innovations. Thus Focalcast is a highly engaging and compelling amenity for our tenants,” said Angelo Arevalo, building administrator of Ayala Life-FGU Center. The prestigious corporate tower, managed by Ayala Property Management Corp., has more than 32 stories of Class A office space right in the heart of Ayala Avenue.

    Focalcast managing director Dante Wong welcomes the addition of the four new prestigious locations in the company’s growing network of building partners. “Focalcast helps corporate buildings reach out to their tenants and visitors effectively by delivering useful and timely information through high-resolution LCD screens,” Wong added.

    Focalcast’s technology, which is the first in the country to deliver Internet content via digital screens installed in elevator lobbies, is easily incorporated in the design of corporate towers. The Focalcast corporate media network transmits breaking news headlines, weather forecasts and a wide variety of information to business professionals and office workers. Media partners include Inquirer.net, Pagasa and Solar Sports.
