The REACH Media Network Alternative That Does More Than Signage
REACH Media Network is a capable digital signage platform, but it doesn’t go further. There's no screen sharing for classrooms or meeting rooms, and emergency alerts are locked behind an enterprise contract that most organizations can't justify. Rise Vision gives your district organization digital signage, wireless screen sharing, and emergency alerts in one platform, and you don't need an enterprise contract to get there..
Why Choose Rise Vision Over REACH Media Network?
More schools are making the switch from REACH Media Network and here's why.
One Platform for Signage, Screen Sharing, and Alerts
REACH handles signage, but your teachers still need a way to share their screens in classrooms and a streamlined, reliable system to send critical emergency alerts without negotiating an enterprise contract. Rise Vision brings all three together so your district isn't juggling separate tools to cover the basics.
Anyone on Your Team Can Run It
Your communications coordinator, your front office staff, or your teachers shouldn't have to wait on IT every time a display needs updating. Rise Vision is built so non-technical people can manage content, schedule displays, and share their screens on their own, without creating more work for your team.
Fast Support When You Need It
When a display goes down or content isn’t displaying the way it should, you need help fast. Rise Vision's North American-based support team responds within one hour, and free training and guided onboarding are included for every customer, not just the ones on enterprise plans.

“We're really happy with it! It's only taking up 1% of my time, not because it's less important, it's because there are no problems. The best thing about Rise Vision is ease of use for the end-user. I don't have time to assist everyone personally, so it has to be easy for the Non-IT person, which Rise Vision is.”
Mark Meszar / Information Technology Team Lead at Kent State University
Screen Sharing is Built In
Give your teachers and students the ability to wirelessly share their screens to any display without a separate tool, vendor, or bill. Unlike REACH Media Network, Rise Vision includes screen sharing as part of the platform, so your meeting rooms and classrooms are covered in one platform.
Emergency Alerts Without the Enterprise Price Tag
REACH locks emergency alert integration behind their Enterprise plan, which requires 50 or more displays and custom pricing negotiations. Rise Vision includes emergency alerts in its Advanced and Enterprise/Unlimited tiers, so your school doesn't need an enterprise contract to keep your school or organization safe.
Built to Cover Multiple Locations
Work with a platform that understands how school districts communicate across multiple locations. Rise Vision has spent years serving K-12 and higher education, building deep expertise in what it takes for schools and districts to communicate, foster collaboration, and create a positive culture across every display in every building.
Templates Built for How Schools Communicate
Access 750+ customizable templates designed around school use cases along with powerful integrations with tools you’re already using. When you're managing content across a district every day, templates that match your use case save more time than a larger library of generic layouts ever could.
A One-Hour Response SLA
Get help from a North American-based support team by phone, email, or remote desktop within one hour Monday to Friday. Free training and guided onboarding are included for every customer.
Works With the Hardware You Already Have
Rise Vision supports a wide range of hardware, allowing you to bring your own media players and displays. Compatible with popular operating systems like Android, Windows, Chrome OS, and Linux, and devices like Amazon Signage Sticks, Raspberry Pi, and Apple TV.
