also customizable based on local availability.
News Zone
The news zone appears underneath the information zone in the portrait templates above but as the bottom
zone in the landscape template with four zones. The news zone displays RSS feeds such as news tickers
or service advisories. A kiosk on a city street can use the news zone to display a ticker containing
information pertinent to that city’s residents and visitors. News related to the buses and trains, weather
advisories, and school closures are displayed as needed: “City buses will not be running today due to a
strike. Use trains as the alternative method for your travels”.
In the figure below, the news zone announces new products or updates to existing products at kiosks
placed in Cisco System’s Executive Briefing Center.
