Departure boards, wayfinding directories, and service alerts that stay accurate through outages — information travelers can trust, on screens you can manage from anywhere.

Information travelers can trust

In a station or terminal, a wrong screen is worse than no screen. Travelers make real decisions on what the board says — which platform, which gate, how long — and the moment displays go dark or stale, staff absorb every question the screens stopped answering. Reliability isn't a feature here; it's the whole product.

TelemetryOS is built for that standard. Departure boards read live arrivals, departures, and delays from your scheduling feeds, and because every device caches its application and data locally, boards stay live through network outages — showing the last known schedule instead of a blank panel, then syncing the moment connectivity returns. When service is disrupted, an emergency alert override can take over targeted screens — one platform, one terminal, or the entire network — in seconds from one console.

Operationally, a transit estate is hundreds of screens spread across stations you can't easily visit. Fleet health, proof-of-play, and remote diagnostics for every device roll up to a single dashboard, so a failed board in an outlying station is an alert in the console, not a passenger complaint on social media.

Wayfinding and assistance that meet travelers where they are

Static maps don't answer the question a traveler actually has. Interactive wayfinding directories on TelemetryOS let people search a destination, see the route from where they're standing, and carry it with them via QR hand-off to their phone — no app install, no account. The same screens carry scheduled content by daypart and location: commuter information at rush hour, retail and events programming off-peak.

TelemetryOS Edge AI takes assistance further without taking data anywhere. On Node Max, on-device language models answer traveler questions in multiple languages right at the kiosk — directions, connections, accessibility routes — with no cloud round-trip and nothing retained. Vision models running on the same hardware gauge crowd and queue levels anonymously, so operations dashboards can flag a building platform crush or a security queue blowing out before it becomes an incident.

Privacy by design is what makes AI viable in public space: no faces stored, no PII, footage analyzed and discarded on the device — and TelemetryOS is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type I certified. Agencies typically run Node Mini on departure boards, Node Pro on directories and video walls, and add Node Max where assistance and crowd awareness justify it — one fleet throughout.

Service alert overriding screens across a public transit platform

Built for networks, not single stations

Transit screens scale by the line, not the screen. TelemetryOS applications are built once with the React SDK and deployed across every station through a git-to-screen pipeline — push a change, and the whole network updates within seconds, with per-station configuration handling local feeds, languages, and layouts. TelemetryOS enables applications to connect to scheduling systems, AVL feeds, and sensor inputs, so screens, kiosks, and sensors run on one platform.

For agencies and the integrators who serve them, that means a departure board becomes a product you operate, not a fleet of one-off installs you maintain. See pricing for how device licensing scales across stations and terminals.
