Amino Launches H200W at InfoComm: The Next-Gen Enterprise Video & Digital Signage Media Player

Cambridge, UK, 4 June 2024 – Amino, an award-winning innovator in sustainable enterprise video technology, proudly announces the launch of the H200W, an advanced addition to the renowned H200 series. This new model builds on the success of the H200 by incorporating
Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth (BLE 5.2), offering unprecedented deployment flexibility and enhanced performance for digital signage and enterprise video applications.  

Amino’s H200 series, featuring the H200 and the newly introduced H200W, is designed to meet the diverse needs of any signage or enterprise video application. The functionality of the successful H200 is now enhanced through the wireless connectivity of the H200W, providing an expanded range of use cases and simplifying deployment in challenging environments.

"The H200W is a really significant addition to our H200 series and this brings more deployment flexibility to our product line-up to support markets such as retail where cabling and deployment costs of wired solutions can be prohibitive,” said Jonny McKee, VP of Product Management & Customer Support, Amino.  

"Wi-Fi 6 is a robust solution in environments where the spectrum is congested or noisy making it suitable for signage applications, and we have also taken the opportunity to add Bluetooth to the H200W and increase the standard memory specification. These additions enable innovative use cases such as detection of audience presence and improved content caching.”

Integrating Wi-Fi 6 and BLE 5.2 wireless connectivity in enterprise and digital signage environments offers significant benefits. It reduces installation costs and complexity by eliminating extensive cabling. Wireless connectivity also allows flexible placement of devices, enhancing viewing options and the scalability of Wi-Fi networks makes it easy to add devices without reconfiguring wiring - ideal for dynamic spaces such as retail or conference rooms. By including BLE5.2 in the solution as well as additional storage, this product enhancement enables new use cases such as integrating presence applications with advertising and signage content and additional storage and SD card expansions enable improved caching ensuring a robust solution in the most hostile Wi-Fi environments.

The H200 series now encompasses two powerful and robust devices designed to meet the needs of any signage application. The H200 is renowned for its simplicity and effectiveness in digital signage applications, and the new H200W, which integrates Wi-Fi capabilities for enhanced deployment flexibility and an expanded range of use cases. Both the H200 and H200W have been engineered from the ground up to provide the tools to get your solution up and running quickly. Both products share the same code base, APIs and extension to allow deployment of either H200 or H200W variants with no further integration required for the applications running on the platform. Amino’s simple setup wizards, cloud management options and pre-certified CMS partner applications provide a quick and robust route to market for our customers.  

Systems integrators worldwide have deployed the H200 series in a variety of applications, taking advantage of the extensive developer's resources that include carrier-grade security, JavaScript SDK, built in web browser, channel zapper utility and management API interface as well as a team of dedicated support engineers.
