EchoStar Corporation’s SATS subsidiary, Hughes Network Systems, recently took digital signage to the next level with the launch of the HS600 Media Player. The initiative is aimed at aiding businesses to streamline their content delivery to any HDMI-enabled screen. 

The state-of-the-art device is engineered to provide businesses with a seamless digital signage experience, offering the ability to integrate live television and other high-quality video content into existing display setups without requiring expensive equipment upgrades. The HS600 integrates with the Hughes MediaSignage platform, a cloud-based content management system. It offers a range of templates, making it easy to create professional and visually engaging displays. With this platform, businesses can effectively manage a broad spectrum of content, from promotional videos to company information, or live programming.

The cutting-edge features of HS600 find their usage in sectors like retail, manufacturing, hospitality and other deskless settings where engaging customers and employees remain the primary focus. The HS600 allows retailers to display promotions, feature products and inform customers about in-store deals and services in real-time. In a hospitality environment, restaurants and bars can use the media player to promote menu items while streaming live sports and entertainment. The seamless fusion of entertainment and information is instrumental in keeping guests engaged and boosting sales simultaneously.

Hughes is making significant strides in the digital signage industry with the newly launched media player. Its seamless integration with existing screens, paired with Hughes’ cloud-based content management system, allows businesses to deliver relevant, real-time information and entertainment that drives engagement and improves communication, with a greater return on investment.
