Xibo Signage
Xibo Signage is the world's leading open-source digital signage CMS, originating as a university project in the early 2000s and scaling to over 400,000 screens across 186 countries. The company offers its platform under a dual model: a free self-hosted edition under the AGPLv3 licence and a paid Xibo Cloud Hosting SaaS tier, with player clients supporting Android, Windows, Linux, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and ChromeOS. A growing programmatic DOOH advertising stack and strategic hardware partnerships with Sony, Hisense, Amino, and Amazon Signage distinguish it from pure-play CMS competitors.
