WiFi Mode Setup for SyncSign Displays

Concept

SyncSign Display uses a classic 2.4GHz WiFi wireless network to fetch new content and update the screen. It’s a reliable and straightforward alternative to SyncSign’s Hub + Display combination.

Due to the power consumption nature of WiFi, the SyncSign display remains in deep sleep mode during most of the time and wake up to fetch new data by:

  • a built-in timer set to a typical 15~60 minutes interval

  • manually pressing the button on the display

Thus it’s suitable for applications that contents don’t change frequently.
