Commenting on the value of these ‘standard’ displays, Barbuti said: “The Philips Signage 2000 Series is a great opportunity for businesses, whether upgrading older displays or dipping their toes into the technology for the first time, to reap the benefits and rewards available through digital signage, from a trusted global provider, at a budget that suits. At ISE 2026, we have redefined the perception of basic digital signage displays.” Future-proof design Both new ranges benefit from an Android 14 SoC, giving them trusted connectivity, built-in security and the ability to install web apps and software directly onto the display, eliminating the need for an external media player. Other benefits include remote monitoring and management (and content management) via the newly upgraded Philips Wave cloud platform; FailOver technology which, in the event of a media player failure, will automatically display back-up content on-screen; and a modular, future-proof design that enables customers to add WiFi and Bluetooth, with the optional CRD22 module, and all-in-one wireless content sharing with Philips ScreenShare. www.ppds.com Management Lead EMEA at PPDS, said: “We have to be ready to match the current and future needs of our partners and customers.

Philips Signage 2000 Series At the other end of its offering, PPDS is raising the bar for budgetconscious customers by bringing together some of the company’s most sought-after features and capabilities in models designed for dawn to dusk (16/7) applications in corporate offices, retail stores, hotel lobbies, school corridors, museum displays, cafes, bars and restaurants that might not need the bells and whistles found on premium offerings. Available in a range of screen sizes (43, 50, 55 and 65in), the Philips Signage 2000 Series combines 4K UHD resolution, PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays and complementary solutions, has strengthened its digital signage portfolio with new options at both ends of the spectrum. For users with sophisticated requirements, it is launching its most powerful and intelligent digital signage display to date, the AI-enabled Philips Signage 5000 Series (D-Line), while for those who prioritise affordability, it is introducing the Philips Signage 2000 Series. Philips Signage 5000 Series An evolution of the Philips Signage 4650 Series (D-Line), widely used in 24/7 corporate, retail, transportation and education environments, the Philips Signage 5000 Series (D-Line) moves beyond the boundaries of traditional signage to help businesses seize the opportunities presented by AI. The integration of a 6 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second or Trillion Operations Per Second) neural processing unit, in addition to the series’ octa core processor, allows AI applications and tasks to run faster and more smoothly without impacting other processors and operations, such as the Central Processing Unit and Graphics Processing Unit. Andrea Barbuti, Global Product PPDS upgrades digital signage offering with integrated neural processing unit for AI applications and enhanced functionality for budget-conscious customers Extended appeal Stretching out A third notable addition to the PPDS Android SoC family, also unveiled at ISE 2026, is the Philips Stretch 3150 Series. With its ultra-wide 32:9 format and 700 cd/m2 brightness, the 37in, 1920 x 540 resolution display is an attractive option where space is limited but there is a need for good visibility, 24/7 reliability and the security, connectivity and management features provided by the Android 13 System on Chip and Philips Wave platform. Weighing 7.6kg and featuring ultra-narrow bezels, the Philips Stretch 3150 fits into spaces unsuitable for normal digital signage displays, e.g. above in-store shelving, on columns and in temporary kiosks and pop-ups. The displays can be installed singly or daisy-chained together. Top applications include branding, marketing, live timetables, wayfinding and menu boards.
