Meridian deploys kiosks for Kansas City 'smart city' initiative

May 12, 2016

Meridian recently deployed interactive kiosks in Kansas City as part of a smart city initiative. The kiosks are designed to provide information about streetcars, city services and various tourist attractions, according to a press release.

Kiosk users can look up the arrival time of the next streetcar or the location of a restaurant, as well as information about city services, tourist attractions and events. Users can also use a smartphone app to sync their phone with the kiosk to save and share information.

"This is a great way for locals to get involved with their community and for businesses to engage with their customers," said Chris Gilder, CEO of Meridian.

Meridian deployed kiosks with single- and dual-sided touchscreens, according to the release.
