Fully integrated intelligent display platform debuts

June 22, 2016

NanoLumens, a manufacturer of indoor and outdoor LED visualization solutions, has introduced NanoLumens AWARE, a cloud-based digital display platform that combines real-time diagnostics, media playback and a variety of internal and third party-developed apps into one integrated system that is accessible through a single portal from anywhere in the world, according to a company press release.

"AWARE addresses the growing industry need for a simpler solution that eliminates hardware within a complex eco-system while allowing third-party developers to create the next-generation apps that will make displays more engaging, useful and accountable. NanoLumens is doing for digital signage what Apple did for the smartphone," said Nate Remmes, vice president of Corporate Development for NanoLumens.

According to Vishu Rao, NanoLumens' director of Software Services and Platforms, AWARE has a one-of-kind IoT product design built for the information display world.

"It brings together high-powered processing, the most popular operating platform, best-in-class cloud services, remote access, mobility sensors, content media services, and a handpicked third party app marketplace into an intelligent visualization portal," he said.

AWARE combines hardware, services and software into one integrated solution that can be purchased and embedded in a display or as a stand-alone add-on to an existing display. The core applications available at launch include built-in media, weather, sports, news, HTML 5, social media and audience measurement. The applications have been developed through NanoLumens' partnerships with Admobilize, Gimbal, Navori and Screenfeed.

"We built our system on APIs because we want to make sure that we are adaptable to existing AV eco-systems while giving our AV integrator and service providers a wholly useful tool," said. "We understand that our partners have a greater opportunity for choice in LED and we want to make sure we are providing them with a solution that is easier to manage, easier to deploy, and provides more value to the end user."
