Solutions

FTP Concepts is the power behind digital out-of-home (DOOH) networks. We design, install and manage digital information networks, whatever their size and scale.

Support

Running your digital network can be simple and pain-free.

Support

Using our extensive experience and knowledge, we deliver support for all your DOOH needs.

This includes remote monitoring, hosting and troubleshooting. We also arrange onsite engineers, or can liaise with yours, to make running your network as straightforward as possible.

With your network in our hands, we give you more time to focus on your business.

Hardware

Our experienced team can design and build networks of any size.

Hardware

We know you want your digital network to look amazing, so we can deliver and manage the hardware to make that happen.

As part of your installation project, our team of professional engineers install, connect and double-check all the elements of your system, ensuring it’s ready to provide an effective and efficient network.

Our comprehensive range of media players, delivered to your exact specifications, mean you can be sure your content will be displayed in the best possible way.

High performance but low maintenance, our hardware will make your network shine.

Software

Our bespoke development projects and unique network tools inject magic into your network or digital campaign.

Software

As experts at making the impossible possible, we can bring your highly creative concepts to life with our tailor-made digital experiences.

We enhance your network’s operating potential and push the boundaries of digital.

Our networks are platform agnostic, so we work with both Scala and Broadsign, selecting the platform that is most suitable for your vision to build your perfect network.
