MAWi Variants Comparison Table

MAWi Spacewall is an on-premises management console designed to control and distribute content across video walls and digital signage screens, leveraging AV-over-IP technology.

It uses a powerful Android-based endpoint device called the MAWi Players, which supports 4K resolution and offers both WiFi and wired LAN connectivity. Acting as a remote video card, the MAWi Player connects to the host PC over the internal network, enabling you to stream any type of content from a central computer to multiple screens with maximum flexibility.

The MAWi management console is browser-based and can be accessed from anywhere within your internal network, giving you full control over all connected screens, playlists, and content from any authorized workstation or device.

Main advantage: High-performance, AV-over-IP digital signage and video walls with 4K resolution, supporting both wired and wireless deployments.

Main use cases: Control rooms, operations centers, NOCs, SOCs, retail video walls, artistic video wall layouts, and specialized digital signage installations.

MAWi Link is a flexible digital signage solution for both on-premises and cloud-based environments.
It also uses the MAWi Player but operates in standalone mode: it caches all content locally on the device, eliminating the need for continuous streaming from a central PC.
Main advantage: Fully independent digital signage — no need for a powerful computer or constant network streaming, as the device plays content directly from its local cache.
Main use case: Digital signage deployments where standalone, cloud-based, or hybrid management is required.

MAWi Zero is an on-premises management solution combined with the Centerm C75 HDMI-over-LAN zero client.

The zero client has no operating system or moving parts and operates as a remote video card, connecting to a host PC over the internal network — similar to the MAWi Spacewall setup.

Main advantage: It’s specifically designed for high-security environments where Android-based devices are not allowed, offering a secure and reliable solution for digital signage and video walls.

Main use case: Digital signage and video wall installations within secured or restricted networks that require maximum security and minimal hardware risk.

Online Monitors AnyWhere is a fully cloud-based digital signage solution that gives you complete control over content management through an online platform.

It uses the MAWi Player as the endpoint device, delivering 4K resolution with both WiFi and wired LAN connectivity. The MAWi Player works independently by pulling content from the cloud, caching it locally to ensure smooth and uninterrupted playback without relying on an on-premises server.

Main advantage: A scalable, cloud-managed solution with a built-in content creation studio, eliminating the need for local servers and making it easy to manage and update digital signage networks across multiple locations.

Main use case: Ideal for organizations looking to deploy and manage digital signage across various sites, with the flexibility of cloud-based control and powerful content creation tools.

MAWi Standalone is an on-premises digital signage solution that uses Windows-based mini PCs (such as Intel NUCs) connected directly to 4K displays. By installing the MAWi Agent on each mini PC, you can manage and control content across multiple screens without needing a host PC to stream the content over the network.

Main advantage:
It’s ideal for closed network environments where Android devices are not permitted. It’s especially well-suited for displaying dashboards, KPIs, and other data-driven content in secure settings like corporate offices and factories.

Main use case:
Organizations that need reliable, secure digital signage across multiple screens within a restricted or high-security network, focusing on real-time information display rather than multimedia-heavy content.
