Kuori Oy claims to be the first manufacturer (OEM) to implement the Google framework for Enterprise Devices Licencing Agreement (EDLA) certification for use in large outdoor screens. The Finnish company wants to create a new industry standard for DOOH hardware by systematically applying Android, the universal operating system, to its entire product range.

Kuori says it can offer Android-powered commercial displays which are fully compatible with Google Mobile Services (GMS), require very little power to operate, can withstand extreme conditions, and offer a flexible operating system that makes it easy to develop new apps.

Similar certification systems by Google have already existed for mobile devices “MADA” (less than 17″) and for Android-TVs “TADA”. However, Kuori claims to be the world’s first manufacturer to implement the Google framework for DOOH advertising on large outdoor and indoor screens. Certified Android screens enable an updatable and upgradable long-term standardized solution with continuous software and hardware development.

Kuori develops, manufactures and delivers modular and mass-customized enterprise display solutions for any environment to improve customer experience, make public spaces more interactive, and drive customer growth and success. Kuori’s Outdoor Digital Displays are widely used in all environments and temperatures, including urban areas, hospitality, retail centers and ski resorts. The modularity of the displays lowers their lifecycle costs because if part of the screen breaks, the whole screen does not need to be replaced. This generates less electronic waste.

With its Android-based devices, Kuori has been able to expand the functions of its screens, with the Android OS capable of controlling their heating, cooling, temperature monitoring, humidity, and more. And since the screens are Android-certified, they can natively run digital signage applications.

As a certified EDLA provider, Kuori can provide integrators and brands with modern mobile device management solutions, including zero-touch enrolment, mass-scale fleet deployment, over-the-air updates to deploy security patches and Android version upgrades, and user-friendly remote management capabilities.
