AOPEN® Chrome Mini Devices Continue to Impress Digital Signage Industry
Chrome Devices and crowdDJ® Showcased at Google Cloud Next '17 and Digital Signage Expo 2017

LAS VEGAS, March 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AOPEN®, a global electronics manufacturer and thought leader in digital signage, announced that following its successful launch in January 2017, the AOPEN suite of Chrome Mini devices continues to make waves across the industry – most recently at Google Cloud Next '17 and now showcasing at Digital Signage Expo 2017.

Underpinned by reliability and affordability, the AOPEN Chromebase Mini and Chromebox Mini deliver rapidly scalable, secure solutions to high-traffic enterprise environments – an attractive feature across challenging environments like digital signage, POS, corporate communication, and self-service kiosks.

AOPEN Chrome devices were what Australian music-tech Nightlife Music® was looking for in its efforts to expand to new verticals and an international audience. Nightlife Music recently announced a move to the Chromebase Mini for its crowd-sourcing music app crowdDJ®.

The AOPEN and Nightlife solution will demo in the U.S. at DSE 2017 booth 1649 in Las Vegas (March 29th – 30th).

Stephen Borg, Global Chief Digital Officer at AOPEN Group, says he was attracted to crowdDJ® because it brings a unique, engaging customer experience – to end users, retailers, and entertainment venues. "We enjoy working with Nightlife; the partnership with AOPEN will help them scale across a variety of product categories and verticals," Borg said. "Working with Nightlife on their move to AOPEN & Google Chrome has been a rich experience for the whole team given our shared commitment to best-of-breed technology and delivering immersive customer experiences."

The solution received recognition at the Google Cloud Next'17 Conference where audiences were shown how to use the platform to "select tracks from Spotify to play in gyms, event centers, and restaurants." Watch the video here:

Nightlife Music CEO David O'Rourke says the partnership with AOPEN allowed the Australian commercial music powerhouse to accelerate their dissemination of crowdDJ® to different verticals, while providing a roadmap to take the technology global.

"In its first year of release in Australia, we've rolled crowdDJ® out to almost 800 sites nationally, with well over five million user engagements and counting. Moving to AOPEN's Chromebase Mini will enable us to scale crowdDJ® securely, confidently and rapidly, allowing us to take the innovation to a global audience with ease," O'Rourke said.
