Layarva Edge

Bring Layarva closer to your screens.

Layarva Edge acts as a local hub for connected screens while synchronizing configuration and content with Layarva Cloud.

How Layarva Edge works: the platform cloud sends configuration, playlist channels and queue management settings to a Layarva Edge box, which distributes content over LAN or Wi-Fi to paired local screens 1 through N. If the internet is down, Edge keeps serving those screens and syncs with the cloud again when the connection returns; Edge can also act as a Layarva Player and play offline content stored on it.

Cloud decides what should play. Edge makes sure the screens on its network can play it.

What Edge does

Cloud synchronization

Configuration, playlists and queue settings originate from centralized management in Layarva Cloud and are synchronized down to Edge.

Local distribution

Edge can distribute available content and configuration across supported screens on its LAN or Wi-Fi, instead of every screen fetching over the WAN.

Connectivity interruption

Previously synchronized content can continue to play according to the supported Edge deployment, and Edge resynchronizes when the connection returns.

Edge as player

An Edge unit can also drive a screen itself and play offline content stored on it.

Why a site chooses Edge

Less WAN dependency

Ten screens in one building do not each need to pull the same video across the same connection.

Local distribution

Content moves across the local network, which is usually faster and always cheaper than the uplink.

Central management stays

Edge does not become a second place to administer. The workspace is still the source of truth.

Offline-capable playback

A branch with an unreliable line keeps showing what it was given, where the deployment supports it.

Edge reduces dependency on a wide-area connection. It is not a promise of zero downtime, and cloud-side management still needs connectivity.
