New commercial-grade devices are making an entry into the digital signage, POS and kiosk markets made by AOPEN and based on Google's Chrome OS platform, AOPEN announced today.

AOPEN said it is working with Google to open the doors for new commercial signage products with a focus on high performance, fast deployment and security.

AOPEN Corporate Director Stephen Borg said in the announcement that the collaboration is a win-win for the industry. "Google shares our vision for open standards and encouraging multiple app providers. Retailers of all sizes are increasingly embracing digital signage, and the new products we are developing with Google will be powerful but still affordable. We've already seen big developer interest in Chrome OS as a platform for digital signage apps, and we're excited to bring new managed commercial Chrome devices to market.”

Three AOPEN devices for commercial signage are slated to be released during Q2 this year: the Chromebox Commercial, the Chromebase Commercial 19-inch and the Chromebase Commercial 22-inch.

The Chromebox Commercial is a small-form device that can power digital displays and vertical applications such as kiosks or public transport information systems. The Chromebase Commercial, available in two sizes, is an all-in-one touch display device.

All three devices will be sold with one year of Chrome management, designed to them easy to deploy, use and manage in distributed environments. They are designed to be extra rugged, and come with data and device security for in-store customer engagement.

The new devices from AOPEN come with three year warranties for round-the-clock, 24/7 use. The commercial Chrome devices are also solid-state and have powered ports to support industry vertical applications, AOPEN said.
