# TelemetryOS

> TelemetryOS is a vertically integrated platform that turns screens into managed application endpoints. One vendor provides the hardware, operating system, cloud platform, video CDN, and enterprise controls — so organizations can run digital signage, interactive kiosks, and custom screen applications across thousands of locations without stitching together multiple vendors.

Most digital signage solutions are content schedulers: they loop images and videos on a screen. TelemetryOS solves a different problem. It provides the complete stack for running applications on screens — from a hardened edge device (Node Pro) that handles 4K playback, offline caching, and sensor input, to a cloud platform where teams manage fleets, deploy code, and monitor performance at scale.

The platform evolved from TelemetryTV, an established digital signage CMS that already powers tens of thousands of screens globally. TelemetryOS extends that proven foundation with a low-code application layer, an integrated CI/CD pipeline (push code on GitHub, it deploys to screens), and an IoT integration fabric (APIs, webhooks, MQTT, serial) that lets screens react to real-time business data — inventory changes, sensor triggers, jackpot events, queue status — without custom middleware.

The result is a single platform that handles both traditional signage (playlists, scheduling, media libraries, proof-of-play) and interactive applications (kiosks, dashboards, guided selling, wayfinding) without maintaining two separate systems.

## How the Platform Works

TelemetryOS is built as a vertical stack where each layer is designed to work with the others.

**Hardware (Node family):** Node Pro is a purpose-built edge player that delivers 4K at 60Hz across up to three displays. It includes offline caching so content and applications survive network outages, and exposes I/O ports (serial, USB, MQTT) for connecting sensors, actuators, scanners, cameras, and other peripherals. Node Mini serves simpler deployments at a lower price point.

**Operating System:** Node Pro uses TelemetryOS Edge (a hardened Arch Linux-based OS with automatic recovery from power loss, over-the-air updates with rollback, and minimal default services). Node Mini uses a locked-down Android appliance stack. Both are managed through TelemetryOS Studio.

**Cloud Platform (TelemetryOS Studio):** The management layer where teams create content, build applications, manage device fleets, schedule deployments, and monitor health. It includes a low-code app builder using React and TypeScript, so developers use familiar web technologies rather than proprietary tools.

**Video CDN:** An integrated content delivery network with adaptive bitrate streaming and proof-of-play reporting. Video content is optimized and cached at the edge for reliable playback regardless of network conditions.

**CI/CD Pipeline:** Applications deploy from GitHub to screens through an integrated pipeline with instant preview, staged rollouts, and one-click rollback. Environment configurations and secrets can target specific fleets, regions, or individual devices.

**Integration Fabric:** APIs, webhooks, MQTT, and serial connections let screens respond to external data in real time. POS systems, inventory databases, IoT sensors, building management systems, and business intelligence tools can all feed into screen applications without custom middleware.

**Enterprise Controls:** SSO (SAML/OIDC), role-based access control, audit logging, network policies, and key management. TelemetryOS maintains a SOC 2 Type I compliance program.

## Who Uses TelemetryOS

TelemetryOS serves enterprise and mid-market organizations that operate screen networks as part of their business — not as an afterthought. The common thread across customers is that their screens need to do more than display static content: they need to respond to data, interact with users, or integrate with operational systems.

Typical customers include healthcare systems (patient check-in kiosks, wayfinding, real-time bed status), quick-service restaurant chains (dynamic menu boards tied to inventory and daypart, self-order kiosks), retailers (interactive product displays, digital shelf labels, self-service), hospitality and venue operators (guest experience screens, event signage, property-wide coordination), manufacturers (production dashboards, safety alerting, shift management), corporate offices (meeting room displays, internal communications, KPI dashboards), education campuses (wayfinding, emergency alerting, digital bulletin boards), and transportation or public space operators (passenger information, directories, emergency notifications).

These organizations typically manage tens to thousands of screens across multiple locations and need centralized control, reliable uptime, and the ability to evolve screen experiences without replacing their infrastructure.
