Digital signage: DS One

In many organizations, communication relies on fixed screens and infrastructure. At the same time, information changes ever faster, and you often have to deal with temporary situations such as events, peak times, renovations, or changing visitor flows. With the DS One, it becomes possible to dynamically adapt content based on the moment, location, or situation. 

The DS One makes communication flexible. This mobile digital signage solution is plug & play, requiring no installation or cabling. This allows you to place screens and content exactly where needed at that moment.\

What is the DS One?

The DS One is a mobile digital signage solution that operates fully independently and offers advantages over other mobile units:

• Ready to use immediately, without installation
• Flexible cloud-based content management
• Interactive with touch, including outdoor use
• Fully wireless and plug-and-play
• Easy to move by one person
• Up to 20+ hours of battery life after 3 years and fast charging
• Equipped with GPS and geofencing for management and security
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (weatherproof)
• Built to withstand intensive outdoor use (up to wind force 8)
• Aluminium housing and low-iron glass (optional anti-reflective glass available)
• Fully brandable in your own corporate identity

Content and control

The power of the DS One is not only in the hardware, but especially in how content is used. Content is easy to adjust and can switch automatically based on time, location, crowd levels, or other conditions.

It is possible to run multiple campaigns at the same time and manage content centrally via the cloud. Different content can also be shown on each side of the screen, for example for visitors entering versus leaving.

The DS One is flexible to configure and can be connected to existing systems, so content can be integrated easily into current workflows.

Why mobile digital signage?

Traditional screens are fixed in place and often difficult to adapt. The DS One makes communication flexible and scalable:

• Show information where it is needed
• Respond immediately to changes
• No dependence on fixed installation or cabling
• Ideal for temporary situations
• One screen, multiple applications
• Deployable without a fixed location or infrastructure
• More efficient and more sustainable than traditional media such as posters

Real-world applications

The DS One is used for different types of communication, such as flexible narrowcasting, digital campaigns, wayfinding, and real-time information. Use cases vary by sector, for example:

• Healthcare: waiting times, routing, temporary communication
• Government: visitor information, campaigns, peak moments
• Events and conferences: wayfinding, programme and sponsor content
• Hotels and event venues: routing, narrowcasting, event information and marketing
• Business and services: internal communication, KPIs, campaigns and recruitment
• Municipalities: waiting times, campaigns and visitor info
• Education: schedules, updates and open days
• Logistics: dashboards, safety and order information
• Construction: planning, instructions, dashboards and safety
• Culture and leisure: programming, routing, promotion and waiting times
• Retail: ads, promotions and data-driven campaigns (retail media)

From communication to ROI

The DS One is not only an information screen, but also a commercial tool. Because content can switch easily and multiple campaigns can run at the same time, you can maximise the value of every screen.

Examples include:

• Advertising opportunities for partners
• Sponsor communication at events
• Promotion of products or services
• Data-driven campaigns
• Temporary activations

Technology and capabilities

The DS One combines flexibility with a strong technical foundation. Thanks to 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, content is managed centrally and updated instantly. The solution supports multiple campaigns at once and is easy to manage remotely.

For organisations with multiple locations, this enables central control while tailoring content per site or moment. The DS One is platform-independent and can be connected to existing systems or a proprietary CMS, making it easy to integrate content into existing workflows.

Quality, safety and sustainability

In many environments, such as municipalities, education and healthcare, safety and origin are becoming increasingly important. The DS One has been developed with these requirements in mind:

• Designed with a focus on safety and use in public environments
• CE-certified and safe to deploy
• Nearly all components are of European origin
• Assembled in the Netherlands
• High-quality materials and long lifespan
• Developed with circularity and reuse in mind
• Reduces the need for physical communication materials
