17.6.2021 WebSocket roll out to Valotalive customers will begin in June 2021.
Valotalive enables real time communication with WebSocket
What is WebSocket?
WebSocket is a communication protocol that provides a full-duplex bi-directional communication channel between a client and a server over TCP. Like users use HTTP and HTTPS to get web pages, servers use WebSocket to talk with clients (like browsers). And vice versa.
In plain language in our context this means that the Valotalive displays are always online and get real time data.
What are the benefits of WebSocket technology
Keep teams informed in real time
Efficient and productive businesses prioritize data-driven communication. Machines and Teams rely on integrated, real time data.
Cloud based tools such as modern digital signage services instantly connect people and teams with live data and information. The communication between Valotalive cloud and displays is real-time enabled by WebSocket technology.

Content Delivery Network for Scale
What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?
A Content Delivery Network is a group of servers that are geographically distributed to provide fast delivery of content. A CDN allows a quick transfer of content, such as images, videos or JavaScript files.
