Opticon EBS-50 Electronic Shelf Label Base Station

The EBS-50 is a new intelligent base station that communicates with wireless ESL electronic labels, hosts the ESL server application, and can even act as a database server. All of this is packed into a compact device, making it the control center of a Digital Shelf Label system.

Key Features

• Intelligent E-Paper Tags base station
• All ESL labels are managed by the ESL server software; the ESLs communicate wirelessly through the base station, which acts as an intermediate access point between the ESL server software and the ESL labels
• The EBS-50 is a combination of a Linux mini-computer and a base station; this Linux computer runs the ESL server software, while the base station handles communication with the ESL labels, so you do not need to install any additional hardware
• If you already have an EBS-50 and want to extend the wireless coverage in your store, you do not need another intelligent base station; the EBS-40 is designed specifically for this task
• Easy installation: the EBS-50 only needs power and a network connection; if using PoE (Power over Ethernet), you only need a single cable to install the EBS-50; in addition, if there is no wired network, the device also supports wireless connectivity via a USB dongle
• Manage ESL labels from any smart device: with a completely upgraded user interface, any smart device connected to the same network as the EBS-50 (including via VPN) can access the ESL server web interface through a browser to manage labels; no mouse, keyboard, or monitor is required
• Integrated Linux computer (no separate PC or server required)
• Web-based ESL server application (works on any device with a browser)
• Easy to install, configure, and update software
• Suitable for small retail stores and chain store systems
• Cloud upload support for remote monitoring of multiple stores
• Customizable electronic price board (based on user roles and permissions)
• 2-port Ethernet network switch (daisy-chain EBS-40 to extend coverage)
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Basic and advanced network settings (including VPN support)
• Dual-band Wi-Fi support (via USB dongle; configurable as a Wi-Fi access point or client)
• Can integrate with third-party software through a secure REST-API
• Supports most common database formats (CSV, MySQL, MS-SQL, Oracle, ODBC, etc.)
• Supports secure database connection (peripheral)
• Secure communication (SSL, HTTPS, VPN, AES)
