Dubai Duty Free & Connectiv Join Forces to Capture Passengers’ Attention with ONELAN

0

ONELAN and Connectiv digital signage at Dubai Duty FreeDubai Duty Free in partnership with Connectiv, the Digital  media specialist for the duty and travel retail industry, has selected ONELAN’s Linux-based Net-Top-Box (NTB) signage appliances for its  duty free advertising network due to the NTB’s  proven reliability in 24/7 applications, high quality Blu-ray™ content playback, detailed proof of performance, minimal maintenance overhead and ease of use.

A key operational requirement of ONELAN was to deliver real-time dynamic scheduling of content to match advertising to specific airport locations and flights – a key element of the Connectiv offer to airport retailers. This will enable advertisers to target specific groups of passengers more accurately as they transit the airport. For example, advertising in Chinese can be delivered to passengers traveling to or from China. This is achieved using the advanced scheduling capabilities of ONELAN’s new Content Management System (CMS) whereby dynamic metadata can be used to change the playback behaviour of the signage network in real-time, based either on manual intervention or automatically from flight information data.

NAVORI Showcases Digital Signage Player for Android OS at ISE 2013

0

Amsterdam, Netherlands – Swiss digital signage software manufacturer NAVORI demonstrated its latest innovation at ISE 2013: the NAVORI QL platform’s port to the Google Android™ operating system. This advancement maintains the broadcast-quality playback performance seen on the industry-standard Microsoft Windows™ platform while significantly reducing hardware costs for Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) projects.

Revolutionizing Digital Signage with Android Compatibility

NAVORI’s CEO, Jerome Moeri, highlighted the foresight and strategic investment involved in developing the QL Android player engine. “We have been developing our QL Android player engine well before Android OS™ evolved from a smartphone platform to a robust application OS. This transformation enables our NAVORI QL platform to be a hybrid digital signage solution, seamlessly managing both Microsoft Windows™ and Google Android™ player hardware.”

The Android player, showcased at ISE 2013, is USB stick-sized and expected to retail for under $50 per unit, drastically reducing the hardware cost of digital signage deployments. This innovation positions NAVORI as a frontrunner in the digital signage industry, leveraging a two-year technical lead over competitors.

Strategic Development and Integration

Initiated two years ago, NAVORI’s transition to the Android platform was a calculated move based on thorough analysis. Moeri emphasized the company’s engineering focus, stating, “With Navori QL, the only technical limit is the communication scenario itself.” NAVORI has also announced software development kits (SDKs) to aid customers in server and player integration, catering to applications ranging from GPS-triggered content in transportation to wayfinding systems interfaced with hotel room management.

US Market Introduction at DSE 2013

The NAVORI QL Hybrid Digital Signage Software platform will make its US debut at the Digital Signage Expo (DSE) 2013 in Las Vegas, February 27-28. Attendees can explore NAVORI’s offerings in the New Products Pavilion and at booth #1234.
