Four Winds Interactive develops the industry’s most powerful, cloud-based digital signage platform. I was brought on at FWI to help lead the initiative to bring the power of their platform to System on a chip (SoC) devices.

Traditionally digital signage is powered by Windows based micro-PCs that can be very expensive in addition to the display itself. By leveraging the power of embedded systems on platforms like Brightsign, webOS, and Tizen, we were able to reduce the cost and bulk of the PC and create a streamlined, cost efficient solution.

The Content Player application adds the power of the cloud to digital signage, allowing the end-user to control everything from the content of the sign to the volume and power control of each sign remotely. A single user can manage devices all over the world without ever having to see or touch the device itself.
