Digital signage provider launches System-on-Chip software for Samsung SSP, LG webOS

June 3, 2016

ONELAN, a provider of network appliances for standalone and end-to-end digital signage and room booking solutions, has launched its System-on-Chip software solution, according to a company press release.

The software can be installed on a Samsung Smart Signage display or LG's webOS platform.

While the traditional Net-Top-Box will still offer enhanced functionality, the SOC solution facilitates direct integration with Samsung and LG's displays making installation simpler, with no external player and reduced cabling. In addition, the cost of ownership for the end-user can be reduced, making it a more attractive proposition in some installations, the release said.

The solution is delivered by the ONELAN CMS 3.0, which enables content to be published to a mixed network of integrated small screens, SOC displays and the full range of NTB signage players. This offers flexibility in content display to the end-user. The SOC player uses the same "Store and Forward" content delivery mechanism to ensure reliability, with content playback continuing even if internet connection is lost.

According to the release, the option to host on-premise or in the cloud, as well as integration with Active Directory, makes SOC an ideal solution for corporate enterprises that can chose the levels of scalability, flexible pricing options and control required.

"We're delighted to be working with our technology partners to bring SOC to the market," said Simon Carp, senior product manager for ONELAN. "While traditional signage players will continue to offer significant advantages, there are many applications which can be easily serviced by our new single and multi zone SOC players."

ONELAN will be exhibiting its SOC solution June 8-10 at InfoComm 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth N2563.
