Praevar has debuted its Podium Platform digital signage offering aimed at the transit environment.

The outdoor display kiosk is designed for maximum visibility and energy efficiency, and is weatherproof, dustproof and features a vibration-resistant design which makes it ideal for bus shelters, train stations, and outdoor advertising locations, according to a press release.

The Podium Platform offers either a 2500-nits or 4000-nits LCD option for high-bright outdoor conditions and 4K resolution. Advanced local dimming technology ensures the platform uses up to 35% less power than traditional high-brightness displays, contributing to both energy efficiency and sustainability.

"Our focus has always been on delivering the absolute lowest total cost of ownership while not sacrificing performance," Ralph Idems, CEO at Praevar, said in the release. "When you're responsible for managing thousands of digital signs — as is the case for many transit agencies — the reliability, durability, and cost efficiency of our Podium Platform are critical. By offering both a 4000 nits dynamic dimming LCM and a 2500 nits module — along with flexible configurations including static poster, LED, and E Ink ePoster technology — we're reinforcing our commitment to providing a solution that not only performs under the toughest conditions but also significantly reduces long-term expenses."
