Understanding Windows' advantages for digital signage

Fugo allows you to display your digital signage content with a wide range of supported Windows devices - tablets, mini PCs, and sticks.

Granted, they do not come cheap, but relying on Windows infrastructure for a digital signage project offers some advantages that add up at scale:

Broad compatibility and integration: Windows devices - and especially the Fugo Player - are well-suited to businesses that already rely and train their teams on Windows-based infrastructure and peripherals.

Security: Windows NUCs are battle tested, with robust security measures that are regularly updated by the mighty Microsoft.

Powerful media & web performance: Most importantly, Windows Intel devices, like the Fugo Player, tend to offer superior performance for complex applications and rich media. They are performant and robust, resulting in smooth video playback and fewer crashes.



Minimum requirements

  • Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro (32-bit or 64-bit) or higher*

  • Dual-core processor or higher (preferably quad-core processor or higher)

  • 2 GB of RAM or higher (preferably 8 GB of RAM or higher)

  • 32 GB of storage or higher (preferably 64 GB or higher)

*Fugo has been tested and confirmed to work on Windows versions as old as
โ€‹Windows 7. However, we always recommend you seek out devices running the latest version for new purchases.
