Guide to Specifying Your GO Digital Tenant Directory
When planning a digital tenant directory, it’s important to consider both the product type and the practical requirements of installation. Below are the key factors to guide your decision-making.
Architect Series
A premium option featuring crisp geometry and sleek aluminium and steel enclosures, designed for projects where architectural integration and statement design are a priority.Streamline Series
A more pared-back slimline enclosure that uses the same commercial-grade screens and industrial PCs as the Architect Series in a simpler, budget-friendly form factor.Software & Management
Both systems run on Sprocket’s GO software and are fully supported and remotely managed by the Sprocket team.Wall or Floor
Assess whether the space and traffic flow are better suited to a wall-mounted or freestanding unit. If a wall mount is the best fit, determine the mounting style.
Accessibility
Position the directory where it is clearly visible and convenient for visitors.
Surface Mount
A prominent look where the enclosure projects slightly from the wall surface, often chosen where wall cavity depth is limited.
Recessed
Creates a flush, non-protruding look that integrates seamlessly with walls. Requires sufficient cavity depth and preparation during installation.
Begin by selecting the series that matches your vision and budget, then decide on mounting style to achieve either a flush architectural finish or a more prominent statement look.
Portrait
Preferred where wall space is limited and for handling long tenant lists. Portrait also aligns with vertical design elements in interiors.
Landscape
Best where the environment favours horizontal proportions and when you want to display more tenant names on one screen without indexing to another page.
Choice Considerations
Orientation is usually guided by the proportions and dominant design elements of the installation site.
Sunlight and Reflections
Evaluate natural and artificial light sources that could cause glare. Position the screen to minimise direct sunlight.
Viewing Angles
Ensure clear visibility from main approach paths.
Available Space
Select a screen size that fits the environment without overwhelming it.
Viewing Distance
Larger screens work best in open lobbies; smaller screens suit compact spaces.
Visual Presence
Strike a balance between impact, readability and budget.
Power Supply
Confirm if nearby outlets are available and provision for concealed wiring.Connectivity Options
LAN (hardwired) – Uses the building’s internal network so is reliable but may require complex firewall rules and IT support.A large proportion of our directories now run on 4G, making it the preferred option for simplicity and security. With increasing restrictions on corporate and building networks — including VPN-only access, strict firewalls, and complex port exceptions — 4G offers a closed network with no external dependencies. We can provide IT documentation for network integration (port exceptions, firewall rules, and server communication details). Additional fees may apply if our team liaises directly with your IT provider or we can connect you with specialist network consultants.
