Overview
With the rise of smart cities and the need for efficient, contactless communication, Australian local councils are turning to innovative technology to serve their communities. Metrospec partnered with several councils to deliver weatherproof Touch Screen Outdoor LCD Kiosks that provide real-time information, public services, and wayfinding for residents and visitors alike.
