Distec Ltd Partners with BrightSign® to Expand Digital Signage Solutions
Manchester, UK – April 2026: Distec Ltd has partnered with BrightSign, the global leader in digital signage media players. This expands Distec’s portfolio with BrightSign’s purpose-built media players and operating system for secure, reliable, 24/7 digital signage deployments.
BrightSign media players are widely recognised for their industrial-grade reliability, security, and consistent performance in sectors such as retail, corporate, transportation, and healthcare. Unlike Windows, Android, or Linux-based digital signage players, BrightSign devices run BrightSignOS™, a proprietary operating system engineered exclusively for digital signage.
The range includes entry-level HD models through to advanced 4K and 8K media players, capable of delivering high-resolution video, HTML5 content, live data feeds, and interactive touchscreen experiences.
Distec selected BrightSign primarily for its purpose-built architecture and legendary reliability. Designed for continuous 24/7, 365-day operation, BrightSign’s solid-state, fanless devices achieve a failure rate of under 0.1%. Because they run a dedicated operating system, they also avoid the overhead of antivirus updates, operating system patches, and unexpected reboots.
“BrightSign sets the benchmark for digital signage reliability and stability,” said Andrew Byrne, Sales and Operations Manager at Distec Ltd. “Adding BrightSign to our portfolio enables us to offer customers a truly purpose-built signage platform designed for large-scale deployments where performance and uptime are critical.”
In addition to retail and healthcare environments, Distec will supply BrightSign solutions to manufacturing and industrial organisations, where digital signage is being used for production tracking, real-time KPI dashboards, and safety messaging. BrightSign players support real-time data integration, enabling businesses to display automated updates from existing corporate systems across factory floors.
By combining BrightSign’s dedicated digital signage technology with Distec’s expertise in professional display solutions, the partnership aims to provide UK organisations with reliable, scalable, and secure digital signage infrastructure.
