Seahawks Utilize Tablet Kiosks for Fan Registration at Bing Training Camp

RENTON, Wash., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The Seattle Seahawks used iPad kiosks to register more than 20,000 fans for the team's 15 open practices at Bing Training Camp in Renton, WA.  The iPads and kiosks from BeyondKiosks.com provided the team flexibility for the satellite check-in location.

"BeyondKiosks had the right product at the right time," said Seahawks director of digital media Kenton Olson.  "The kiosks provided a secure way to showcase our web application while maintaining connectivity to Wi-Fi and 3G networks."  

BeyondKiosks.com is a subsidiary of Kiosk Group, Inc. and is based in Maryland. Kiosk Group president Mike James, a 31-year veteran of the multimedia and kiosk industry, commented, "The Seahawks needed professionally-built iPad kiosks that were flexible, ADA compliant, and built to take the abuse of tens of thousands of fans over a few weeks. Our Exquisite iPad kiosks are really the only choice on the market."

The iPad Kiosks were created by Mike James and design consultant Jer Schweickart specifically around the iPad's distinct feature set:

• The kiosks' iPad enclosures feature a radio-transparent, heavy-duty plastic body. All Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G radio frequencies are totally unimpeded. The pedestal and base sections are constructed out of powdercoated cold-rolled steel.

• The iPad kiosks from BeyondKiosks.com are available in free-standing, countertop and wall versions.

• The front bezel restricts the use of the iPad's Home button, so users cannot escape from the kiosk application.

• Technicians have easy access to the Power, Volume Controls and Home Screen without kiosk disassembly.

• The iPad can be used in both landscape and portrait mode.

• All kiosks are ADA compliant.

The iPad kiosks can be seen at www.BeyondKiosks.com.  Jer Schweickart's work can be seen at www.jschweickart.com.  For more information, contact Mike James at 1-888-569-5467 x801 or [email protected].
