Vertical markets that offer a lot of scale are understandably attractive to vendors in the digital signage industry, so it is logical that a ... […]
In an ecosystem that still … STILL … sees new software companies popping up with their own spin on a solution, it’s kind of crazy to think there are digital signage companies out there marking three decades in the business. One of the oldest, by far, is Toronto’s Capital Networks, which is marking 30 years in business this week. […]
Bil Trainor sent me a nice note in recent days letting me know he was finally, totally, 100% retired from Capital Networks, the broadcast and digital signage software company he started some 30 years ago. “December 31st was my last day with Capital Networks,” he wrote in a note. […]

I think Toronto-based Capital Networks may be the longest-running sponsor of the annual 16:9 Mixer ahead of Digital Signage Expo, going back many, many years.

Capital Networks Limited has been a mixer sponsor for many, many years, and has also been a 16:9 sponsoring advertiser for a long, long time. The Toronto-area company was started in 1991 in by Bill Trainor, who still runs Capital, though he’s moved up north to a custom-built place on a golf course, across the road from Lake Simcoe. […]
Digital signage is still a pretty young industry, so it’s interesting to come across a note that says one of the software companies active in the sector just turned 25. Capital Networks Limited was started in 1991 in suburban Toronto by Bill Trainor, who still runs the company. […]
We are a little more than week out from Digital Signage Expo and, on Tuesday evening, the biggest social event of the show – the annual Preset Group Mixer. The event does not come off without the support of sponsors. Anyone who has organized a networking event will confirm that between the bar and food tabs, insurance, DJs, printing and on and on, the costs add up. […]
The DEEP look I took recently into Android digital signage revealed a few things – among them how most of the players were adapted consumer set-top boxes and sticks, and how few were commercial-grade (aka reliable and predictable) devices. […]
