01

GPS-aware playback

Content switches automatically as the bus enters a geofenced area — no driver input needed.

02

Plug-and-play hardware

Android player + USB GPS dongle + the bus's existing HDMI screen. That's the whole kit.

03

Centrally managed

Schedule routes, stops, and ad slots from the cloud. Roll out updates to every vehicle in one push.

Geofence-aware announcements

The right message at the right stop.

Draw geofence zones on a map for every stop on the route. As the bus enters the zone, the screen automatically switches to 'Next stop: New Baneshwor' or 'You have arrived — please be ready'. Drivers don't touch a thing, passengers always know what's next.

  • Approaching-stop alerts with audio + visual
  • Arrival messages and 'please be ready' prompts
  • Live route progress with stops lit up as the bus passes
  • Bilingual announcements (Nepali + English)
Plug-and-play hardware

Android player + USB GPS dongle. That's it.

The SignageLAB Player plugs into the bus's HDMI screen. A small USB GPS dongle plugs into the player. The dongle reports location at 1 Hz; the cloud CMS does the rest. No custom apps, no driver interaction, no ECU access required.

  • Works with any HDMI screen already on the bus
  • 12V or 24V power via a USB adapter
  • Cellular hotspot or local SIM for cloud connectivity
  • Fanless, rugged player engineered for the road

Ads that travel with the route

Geofenced ad inventory you can actually monetise.

Sell ad slots to local businesses along the route — the screen shows their ad only when the bus is in their catchment area. A restaurant near Koteshwor pays for impressions only when the bus is within 2 km of Koteshwor. Better ROI for advertisers, more revenue per screen for operators.

  • Polygon-based geofences with custom radius
  • Daypart scheduling on top of location targeting
  • Real-time impression counts per zone per route
  • Local-language creatives that swap per geofence
Fleet management

One portal for every bus, route, and depot.

There's no limit on how many vehicles one account can manage. Group buses by route, depot, or operator, then push new ads, route changes, and detour notices to a single bus or the whole fleet at once. Remote monitoring shows which players are online and what each screen is playing right now.

  • Unlimited vehicles under one account
  • Group by route, depot, or operator
  • Fleet-wide or per-bus content pushes
  • Live snapshots of what each screen is showing
Built for the road

Keeps playing when the signal drops.

Buses move in and out of coverage all day. The player caches several hours of content, so short connectivity gaps never blank the screen — and it syncs the latest playlists and telemetry as soon as the connection returns. A basic 4G hotspot or local SIM is all it needs.

  • Offline cache of several hours of content
  • Automatic re-sync when connectivity returns
  • Works over a 4G hotspot or local SIM
  • Fully automatic — optional driver remote for delay or detour announcements

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they switch.

01What hardware do we need on each bus?
Three things: the SignageLAB Player (Amlogic S905X4 Android box), a small USB GPS dongle, and any HDMI screen the bus already has. Plus a cellular hotspot or local SIM for cloud connectivity.
02How accurate is the geofence trigger?
Typical GPS accuracy is 3–5 meters with a clear sky view. We recommend geofences of 50–100m radius for stop triggers, which works reliably even in dense urban areas like Kathmandu Valley.
03Does the bus need permanent internet?
The player caches a few hours of content offline, so brief connectivity drops are fine. For real-time updates and telemetry, a basic 4G cellular hotspot or local SIM is ideal.
04Can drivers interact with the system?
By default no — the system is fully automated based on GPS. If you want driver controls (delay announcements, route changes), we can add a simple remote or mobile shortcut.
05How many buses can we manage from one account?
There's no limit. Group buses by route, depot, or operator and push content to a subset or the entire fleet from the same portal.
06Can the screens play audio announcements?
Yes. Approaching-stop alerts can play audio alongside the on-screen message. The player has HDMI and SPDIF optical audio out, so it connects to the bus's existing speaker system.
07Will it work with the screens already on our buses?
Yes — any screen with an HDMI input works. The player plugs into the screen, and the USB GPS dongle plugs into the player.
08What does a bus deployment cost?
NPR 15,000 per player one-time + USB GPS dongle (~NPR 2,500) + NPR 2,500 per display per year for the cloud CMS, geofence management, and support. Volume pricing on fleets of 25+ buses.
