With a focus on functionality and aesthetics, the Smart City Kiosk is designed to be modern, approachable, practical, and endure the rigors of everyday use when unattended. The new all weather-rated solution is ideal for sharing community information, travel, and weather details, as well as wayfinding, advertising, entertainment, and more.

The Smart City Kiosk includes an Xtreme™ High Bright Outdoor Display with full HD1080p resolution for a bright crisp picture, even in direct sunlight. In addition, an optional 10-point IR touch overlay makes the kiosk interactive for all users.

Featuring a curved, modular design that seamlessly blends into any city or town set-up, the Smart City Kiosk offers quick access to the display for maintenance without disturbing any adjacent units. Plus, installation is easy, without the need for cranes or forklifts.

Additional key Smart City benefits include:
  • An aesthetically-pleasing, elegant minimalistic design
  • Fully sealed display requiring no air conditioners or fans for cooling
  • Sealed media storage area protected with PermaFlo® filter and cooling fans to prevent the ingress of dust and water
  • Ability to customize with paint colors for the legs, roof, and base, leg design shape, touch overlay, camera, and more
  • No additional layer between the display and enclosure
  • Standard design that is easily deployable and ready to ship
  • Integration services offered by Peerless-AV
  • Dependable operation

“When designing our new Smart City Kiosk, we focused heavily on the features that would be useful for all stakeholders – cities/towns, citizens and visitors, and integrators,” said Brian McClimans, Vice President of Sales for Americas and APAC, Peerless-AV. “This kiosk can be used for wayfinding, contacting emergency facilities, sharing important town information like details on restaurants, local attractions, and events, providing up-to-date public transportation news, introducing interesting city facts, and even games. Plus, with an all-weather, rugged design and the ability to implement data collection sensors, the Smart City Kiosk offers something for everyone. Towns can manage resources appropriately and communicate with citizens, visitors and the community can learn more about the city, and integrators can easily install and maintain the kiosk.”

Available in 49″, 55″, and soon 65”, the Smart City Kiosk can withstand winds up to 140 mph, making it usable in any city or town for a range of applications, such as retail, government, corporate, hospitality, stadium, and university settings.
