At Impact LED Signs, we know that no two projects or customers are exactly alike. That’s why we offer flexible, powerful connectivity options to help you control your outdoor LED sign, digital sign, or electronic message center (EMC) with ease. Whether you’re a school, church, retail business, bank, or military installation, your connectivity needs may vary based on installation type, network security, or location. We’re here to help you choose the right option to ensure the best performance from your digital signage.

Connectivity is the lifeline of your LED sign. Without a reliable connection, updating content becomes frustrating or impossible. Impact LED offers the best LED sign connectivity options, designed to match your project’s environment and your customer’s needs.

• Simplify content updates
• Maximize sign uptime and visibility
• Protect your network with secure options
• Deliver real-time promotions, alerts, or information

Connectivity isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here's how to think about it:

• Is your LED sign mounted directly to a building?
• Will it be placed roadside or at a standalone monument?
• How far is the sign from your network equipment?
• Do you have network restrictions (banks, military, schools)?

Our team of connectivity experts will help you make the best choice. With decades of experience, we guide you toward a setup that works beautifully and securely.
