How to Video - Trade Show Internet

Check out this 1 minute video on the new Trade Show Internet solution for trade show managers, conference hosts, meeting planners and exhibitors. SmartSource Rentals has partnered with Trade Show Internet (TSI) to provide a rental solution that provides reliable Internet connectivity in a turn-key package at a fraction of the cost charged by in-house providers.
One of the most common complaints from exhibitors at trade shows is the high cost of Internet Service. At many hotels, convention centers and exhibition halls this cost can exceed $1000 dollars for a 3 day event, and that is just for a single computer. Venues have been able to charge these exorbitant fees as they have had little competition and were many times the only option. With SmartSource Rentals and Trade Show Internet, those days are finally coming to an end.

A TSI internet kit provides a wireless internet connection that can be shared by multiple devices, much like the wireless routers you may use in your home. Hardwired devices can also connect to one of four physical ports. Everything you need to get online is included in a small, protective case that can be setup and running in a few minutes. Exhibitors attending shows that span multiple days often take the internet kit up to their hotel room at night to catch up on email or get some work done online without having to pay any in-room access fees.
Trade Show Internet uses a wireless spectrum that is regulated by the FCC and outside of the jurisdiction of any venue or exhibit hall. It does not require any in-house network infrastructure to work and allows you to connect online using a completely separate network that can reach T1 speeds. This combination allows SmartSource Rentals to offer it at a price that is a much better value to trade show managers and exhibitors.
Give SmartSource a call at 800-888-8686 to find out more about getting wireless internet access at your next event or submit one of our trade show internet quote requests online. More info is also available on the Trade Show Internet website.

Watch SmartSource setup a 3 x 3 Plasma Video wall in fast motion at our 2009 technology fair in New York. We setup a camera on a tripod and filmed the entire setup process for one of our 3×3 seamless video walls, then compressed it down into about 1 minute of footage. The video wall is made up of nine 42″ seamless plasma monitors and can take both video and PC inputs. Video Wall Quotes & More info.
SmartSource Rentals provides full service video wall setup, support and delivery. If you are looking to make a huge impact at your next corporate event, trade show or product launch then this is the technology you need to do it. Anyone that passes by a wall of nine 42″ plasma displays will be blown away at the intense size and quality of the video being show. The video panels can be controlled individually or combined to create one massive size wall of high quality plasma video. For more information, pictures or to get quote on a video wall at your next event visit the Video Wall Rentals page of the website.

Courtroom Rentals – Audio Visual & Legal Technology

Never cut corners on Audio Visual or Legal Technology when it comes to the courtroom or litigation. SmartSource has decades of experience in providing service, support, and technology equipment for courtroom rentals. Let our experienced staff help solve your needs with their specific knowledge and experience in legal support and courtroom rental.
It makes good sense to choose a nationwide rental company for legal technology needs. SmartSource has deep roots when it comes to setting up a courtroom, war room, deposition, or offsite meeting. Choosing a company with established credibility could make all the difference in winning your next court case and SmartSource has trained staff, quality equipment, and direct courtroom experience to make sure your audio visual equipment is setup and working properly.
Many court cases have distinct needs that a mom and pop rental shop or local company may not realize. Sometimes the judge or lawyers in the courtroom may need the ability to preview audio and/or video through a monitor or speakers before it can be show to the jury for legal reasons. This might require some additional monitors and detailed cabling that is a little more complicated than just wheeling in a TV and pressing play.
The last thing your business or company needs to worry about while they are involved in legal issues is the audio visual rental technology not working when you need it most. The correct Elmo document viewer or LCD projector rental and fast fold screen may be great for simple parts of the case, but when it comes to complicated stuff like war room setups, secure servers, video depositions and audio setups – let SmartSource Rentals handle the legal technology rental in the courtroom.
