You can now use the Amazon Signage Stick with Screenly to simplify your digital signage.
What the Amazon Signage Stick is
The Amazon Signage Stick is a small, affordable, and reliable device built specifically for digital signage. Simply plug it into any screen, connect it to Wi-Fi, and your content displays within minutes. At under $100 per unit, it is one of the more accessible ways to add screens to a signage network.
Amazon Signage works with a certified set of content management providers for the Signage Stick. Screenly is now one of them.
Who this is for
The Amazon Signage Stick is recommended for use by businesses and organizations of all sizes, and across various signage environments:
If you already have Amazon Signage Sticks deployed and are looking for a content management platform that better fits your needs, you can now run Screenly on the hardware you already own.
If you are managing a mixed fleet of devices, this removes the need for a separate tool. Content delivery to Screenly Players and Amazon Signage Sticks is easily managed from the same dashboard, with consistent security across every screen.
For new use cases, locations or pilots, the Amazon Signage Stick is a practical, low-cost way to get started with Screenly before committing to a larger rollout. Scaling your signage is as simple as adding another Stick.
Screenly Anywhere, the hardware-agnostic version of Screenly Player, is what makes this possible. It is designed to run on hardware you already own, and the Amazon Signage Stick is the latest device to join that list.
Security
Screenly is built around controlling who has access to your screens, how content gets to them, and making sure the software running your displays is something you can rely on. Those principles carry over to the Amazon Signage Stick. You get the same access controls and content integrity you expect from Screenly, on trusted hardware you can pick up anywhere.
A note on dedicated Screenly Players
We have written before about why dedicated hardware players are the best choice for enterprise digital signage, and that has not changed. When security requirements are at their strictest, there is a meaningful difference between running software on hardware someone else controls and running it on hardware we built and are responsible for end to end. For large enterprise deployments, healthcare, manufacturing, and environments where that accountability matters, the Screenly Player remains the right choice.
The Amazon Signage Stick and the Screenly Player both offer powerful, reliable media players to support a host of use cases across various industry sectors, and for many organizations they work well together. We’re happy to help you define the optimal solution for your organizational needs.
What we are working on next
We are working on deeper integration with Amazon Signage’s device management tools, so that monitoring and controlling your Amazon Signage Sticks feels just as seamless as managing any other device in your Screenly fleet. We will share more as that work progresses.
