The Scout Project, developed by outdoor advertising company Smile Media, comprises a wireless network of public information kiosks that are expected to be rolled out early next year. The prototype will be placed outside the Sandton Convention Centre. The devices will feature an 18-inch screen with an electronic map and will provide information about Sandton central hotels, shops, restaurants, banks and places of interest, as well as community news. In addition, each kiosk will be programmed with a list of emergency contact numbers, as well as a panic button.
