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.

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.
