Equinox is used for a wide range of purposes, including generating advertising revenue, influencing buyer behavior, building brands, increasing sales at POP (point-of-purchase), collecting customer information, and improving their experiences. The Equinox Software Suite offers several options to choose from to effectively manage your digital signage application.

Enterprise Edition:
Enterprise Edition is suitable for medium to large sized digital signage network implementations with extendable feature packages. It involves a server-client infrastructure that is independently owned and operated by the reseller or end-user. The user-interface is web-based for ease of use and accessibility.
Network Edition:
Equinox Network Edition is a web-based digital signage platform that allows users to manage, schedule and monitor content over the digital signage network. It is offered as Software as a Service (SaaS) so that the reseller or end-user has no involvement with the upkeep and maintenance of the server requirements.
Standalone Edition:
Standalone Edition is a management platform that gives you complete control over schedules and multimedia content for a single location. Because the reseller or end-user makes any updates locally on site, an Internet connection is not required.
ProReporter:
Equinox ProReporter helps you to easily generate playback and system status reports for one to thousands of the out-of-home digital media players in your digital signage network. It can help administrators to collect and record data, generate statements, and analyze the operation of media players.
Data Messenger:
Data Messenger is a central database for collection of all data sources for template style content management. It is best used as a tool in preparing digital menu boards, digital travel itineraries, directories, or any digital signage application application which requires updating of text content on a regular basis.
