Digital signage SaaS provider set to ship new media player

June 28, 2013

Digital signage software provider BroadSign International LLC has announced that the first round of BroadSign Xpress smart players is in production with units available for delivery as early as September.

The company is now accepting orders for BroadSign Xpress, with the first large-scale request for 1,001 units having been placed by a client who recently subscribed to the company's software-as-a-service solution.

BroadSign Xpress was announced in February and is the company's first step into the digital signage hardware solutions market, the company said. The fully-featured and fully-supported smart player runs on the Android operating system and was created to both eliminate the challenge of selecting a good long-term hardware solution and reduce the cost of hardware per deployment.

Following the release of BroadSign Xpress, 200 participants across the globe were given a beta player as part of the BroadSign Trailblazer Program. Recipients tested the smart player throughout the duration of the program, and BroadSign incorporated resulting feedback into its final product design.

"The response to the introduction of BroadSign Xpress has been tremendous from the moment it was revealed at our first annual Client Summit," BroadSign CEO Brian Dusho said in the announcement. "Positive feedback received via the Trailblazer Program and high demand from new and existing customers attest that this initiative is the right decision for BroadSign as a provider of digital signage solutions. Inventory is limited and players are moving quickly."
