STOCKHOLM—SNA Displays has hired two Sweden-based digital signage veterans, marking a continued expansion into Europe. As one of the top-tier global LED display manufacturers, the company has provided digital display products and services throughout the world, primarily in U.S., European, and Asian markets.

The move comes as many digital signage and audio-visual industries are recovering from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic fallout.

“As a company, we will continue to find areas of opportunity and improvement during a time when many companies are having to cut back or reorganize,” said Dennis Hickey, president of New York-based SNA Displays. “We’re in a fortunate position to be able to continue acquiring first-rate talent and identify undervalued areas of potential so that we not only continue growth now but also stand ready for the inevitable upturn.”

Johan Skepparman and Peter Gustafsson both started this week and will run business development for SNA Displays from Stockholm.

“We’re very excited to join the SNA team,” said Skepparman, who previously worked for H&M as a global digital signage project manager. “Over the past few years, SNA Displays became such a familiar name to us with so many LED spectacular installations that caught our attention. SNA’s products are not only high-end but highly competitive, and, in my experience, the people are talented at what they do and have such great knowledge of the overall industry. And yet, there is still a tight-knit, family feel to the organization.”

The new employees bring vast audio-visual and digital signage experience to SNA Displays’ business development team, including project management, solutions design, operations, and installation and maintenance.

“As Europe emerges from the pandemic, there are so many opportunities for growth,” said Gustafsson, who was also previously a global project manager for H&M in the digital signage space. “In-person retailers will need to be even more communicative with customers to stay competitive. Also, the need for dynamic and interactive messaging is higher than ever, and retailers are looking for digital signage systems that allow customers to see custom messaging such as product information, real-time offers, and personalized renders.” Gustafsson also has prior work experience with international expansion projects at H&M.

Skepparman and Gustafsson will report to Vice President of Global Sales Rick Bortles.

“With the vast amount of experience Johan and Peter bring to the table in the retail market segment alone, this is a great opportunity for us to further develop our international sales and operations,” said Bortles, who is based in SNA Displays’ Atlanta office. “While changes in technology and environments are inevitable, particularly in our current climate, there’s simply a never-ending need to inform.”

Prospective clients, partners and vendors can submit inquiries at snadisplays.com/contact or reach Skepparman and Gustafsson directly.

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft, MediaTek, and IAdea previewed what they described as the first digital signage solution built on Microsoft's Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) at NRF 2026 in January, and Avocor and IAdea demonstrated a pairing of MDEP-based signage with Avocor's new B Series displays at InfoComm 2026 in June, according to AV Magazine and invidis. Neither report describes the technology as shipping in commercial deployments.

  • 01MDEP adds identity management, conditional access, device attestation, and centralized lifecycle control to signage displays, enabling management like traditional IT endpoints.
  • 02MediaTek's Genio 720 system-on-chip, used in MDEP previews, provides industrial-grade performance with 10 TOPS AI acceleration and supports up to ultra-wide 5K or dual 2.5K display outputs.
  • 03MDEP-based signage remains in preview and demonstration status as of June 2026; buyers should verify current availability and understand MDEP licensing costs before purchase decisions.

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

Pre-show coverage of IBC2026, held September 11-14 in Amsterdam, shows several vendors including Telestream, PlayBox Neo and Zixi framing announcements around workflow orchestration and hybrid transport reliability rather than single products. Separately, NewscastStudio reported EverPass expanded its Netflix-linked deal to distribute the full NFL slate to bars and restaurants.

  • 01Telestream, PlayBox Neo, and Zixi are leading with orchestration and resilience messaging ahead of IBC2026 in Amsterdam, September 11-14.
  • 02Verify orchestration and resilience claims through vendor documentation, reference calls, and hands-on evaluation before committing to platforms.
  • 03Request documented API boundaries, interoperability testing evidence, and failure detection demonstrations rather than relying on marketing descriptions.

Software updates are now a buying event at IBC2026

Software updates are now a buying event at IBC2026

At IBC2026 in Amsterdam, Clear-Com and TSL are sending a similar operational message from different angles: the next hard problems are control, monitoring, and safe change in IP workflows. Clear-Com’s Eclipse HX EHX v15 adds ARC (Access Resource Configuration), which the company says enables access to intercom ports and resources without adding hardware, and expands capacity and resource management, according to Sports Video Group. AVNation reports TSL is emphasizing “reduced complexity” for control and monitoring across IP workflows. For ops leaders, the takeaway is to treat qualification, rollback planning, change windows, and licensing and support terms as first-class spec items.

  • 01Clear-Com is attaching new intercom access and resource controls to Eclipse HX via EHX v15 and ARC, so refresh planning shifts from “replace frames” to qualify releases, plan rollbacks and schedule change windows, according to Sports Video Group.
  • 02For distributed productions, FreeSpeak Cell leans on LTE and 5G rather than venue cabling, shifting runbooks toward coverage assumptions, service management and fallbacks when cellular performance drops, according to Sports Video Group.
  • 03AVNation reports TSL is pushing “reduced complexity” for control and monitoring across IP workflows, a sign that configuration, visibility and alarm routing are becoming day-to-day requirements, not optional add-ons.
