Introduction
iKiosk, iWall, iSmart – the names sound alike, but each family solves a different problem. Choose the wrong format and you either pay for touch you do not need or end up with a display that does not suit your space.
This guide helps you pick the right type for your project – quickly and without jargon.
The three families in brief
iKiosk – floor-standing totems
Free-standing vertical screens for lobbies, shopping centres and airports. They draw attention and are often interactive (iKiosk-5501, iKiosk-5503). Choose them when you want a device that stands in a prominent spot.
iWall – wall and window displays
Mounted on a wall or in a shop window (iWall-4301, iWall-2101). Ideal for menus and window advertising for estate agents and shops. Choose them when space is tight and the display must blend into the interior.
iSmart – interactive boards
Large 4K touch screens (iSmart-7501) with dual Android/Windows options for classrooms and meeting rooms. Choose them when several people need to work together at the screen.
Quick decision table
| Your need | Recommendation | Mounting |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising in a prominent spot | iKiosk totem | Floor-standing |
| Menu in a restaurant or café | iWall-4301 | Wall |
| Shop window | iWall-2101 | Hanging |
| Presentations and training | iSmart-7501 | Wall or stand |
Things not to forget
Touch or not?
If content is view-only (adverts, menus), do not pay for touch. If people need to interact, it is essential.
Content management
Make sure the device works with your CMS platform – the Android models are widely compatible.
Size vs viewing distance
The further away the viewer, the larger the screen and font you need.
Step-by-step example: a chain of pharmacies
A pharmacy chain wants to modernise 15 branches. It has three different needs – and each family finds its place:
- Street-facing window → iWall-2101: a hanging window display with promotions to catch passers-by. No touch – view only.
- Above the counter → iWall-4301: a wall display with split-screen for opening hours, health tips and seasonal offers.
- Waiting area → iKiosk-4301: an interactive kiosk for product information and stock checks.
The lesson: a single “do everything” device would be a compromise everywhere. The right format in the right place gives the best return.
Practical checklist before you order
- Where does the viewer stand – close up (touch) or at a distance (display only)?
- Is there room for a floor-standing totem, or do you need wall or hanging mounting?
- Is it indoors? (all models in the range are for indoor use)
- Which CMS will you use – is it compatible with Android?
- Is the network reliable, or do you need a local media player for offline operation?
- How many screens and locations – and will you grow?
Conclusion
Remember the simple rule: iKiosk stands, iWall hangs, iSmart works as a team. Decide where the viewer is and whether they will touch the screen, and the choice becomes obvious. For multi-site networks, pair the displays with an edge media player.
