The new large-screen digital display initiative, initially targeting health care facilities, will leverage the IGEL Preventative Security Model™ to help minimize the attack vectors.

With the IGEL OS, customers across various industries and sectors will be able to securely and effortlessly manage content on a variety of large-screen LG displays.

"Our expanded strategic collaboration opens doors for customers from health care and ultimately other industries, empowering them to create seamless digital environments that captivate and inform audiences, essentially without risk or compromise."

"Over the years, our mutual customers and partners have reaped the rewards of our collaboration, enjoying enhanced flexibility for their cloud-enabled digital workspaces," said Michael Kosla, senior vice president, LG Business Solutions USA. "Now, IGEL's expansion into the operational technology market takes their secure, engaging digital experience to large-screen LG commercial displays for the first time."

At the heart of the IGEL-LG collaboration is a shared dedication to enhancing the customer experience. IGEL's cloud-based software solution will allow users in the health care market to access many cloud solutions tailored for LG digital signage, interactive displays and video walls, all within a user-friendly management environment.
