Grid POE-Jack® Android Player | 4GB RAM / 32GB Storage, Metal Case, PoE-Powered | POEJK-DS1

Overview

The POEJK-DS1 is a PoE-powered Android digital signage player with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, housed in a metal enclosure. Designed for “POE Digital Signage” applications, it receives power via 802.3af PoE and is intended to drive displays in lobbies, corridors, meeting rooms and common areas without local power bricks.

Built around an Amlogic S905X3 64-bit quad-core ARM® Cortex-A55 CPU and modern codec support up to 8K, it offers a compact, network-powered platform for Android-based signage and information displays.

Key features

• PoE-powered Android player – designed for 802.3af PoE power (PoE-powered / PoE source required).
• Amlogic S905X3 64-bit quad-core ARM® Cortex-A55 CPU for responsive playback and UI.
• 4 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM for apps, media assets and local caching.
• Dual-band Wi-Fi – IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with support for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
• Advanced video codec support including VP9, H.265/HEVC and AVS2.
• HDMI 2.1 output with HDMI-CEC support (for display control scenarios, where supported).
• TF card slot – accepts cards up to 64 GB for expanded storage (per spec).
• Metal case for durability in commercial environments.

Technical highlights

Ideal applications

• Digital signage players in lobbies, corridors, waiting rooms and cafeterias.
• Menu boards and information displays in restaurants and retail environments.
• Room schedule or dashboard displays when used with compatible Android apps.
• Campus and corporate signage where PoE cabling already exists.

Compatibility & ecosystem

The POEJK-DS1 fits into GRID DC microgrid projects as a PoE-powered endpoint connected over structured cabling to GRID PoE switches. It’s intended to be used with Android digital-signage or dashboard applications (selected and configured by the integrator or IT team) and HDMI-connected displays.

It complements GRID’s HDMI-over-IP solutions (such as POEJK-HDMIE / HDMIER) where projects mix direct HDMI players and IP-based distribution on the same network.

Install & design notes

• Provide a standards-based 802.3af PoE port from a compatible PoE switch for power and network connectivity.
• Mount the metal-cased player where it has enough ventilation and secure cable routing.
• Use a compatible HDMI cable to connect to the display; verify HDMI-CEC support on the target screen if you plan to use CEC control.
• For content management, deploy your preferred Android signage platform and configure remote management as required.

Canada-ready checklist

• ✓ Good fit for Canadian retail, education and corporate signage projects that already use PoE.
• ✓ Reduces the need for extra AC receptacles behind monitors and TVs.
• ✓ Suitable for typical indoor commercial and institutional environments across Canada.
