We offer digital property signs for apartment buildings that don’t require any wiring to the displays. With digital signs in the property, you don’t have to go out and change the physical signs because our signs are updated automatically when you make your change in the apartment management system.

Digitizing your apartment entrances has never been easier. Traditionally wiring is needed for each individual display. But with our displays, you avoid this since they are powered by batteries and communicate wirelessly with a central unit.
The screen technology in the displays is the so-called electronic ink (electronic paper) and is the technology commonly used in e-readers. The technology means that the screen on the display only draws power when the content on the screen changes.
With the help of integrations, we create a bridge between your property system and the displays. Then these will be updated automatically when new tenants move in.
Uppsala municipal real estate company Uppsalahem realized that a lot of unnecessary time was spent by their staff changing nameplates on apartments, mailboxes and accommodation lists in their student housing where the frequency of moving in and moving out is high. To address this, they began looking for a low-cost, easy-to-install alternative that required minimal intervention on the mail boxes and the property itself.
Service Node began discussions with Uppsalahem in the autumn of 2020, and by the end of the year, we presented a technical solution that was approved and ordered for delivery in June 2021.
The choice of premise was Djäknegatan 1 and 3. These properties have six floors each with a total of 48 apartments. In each property two wireless communicators were installed. These communicators are only powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) so no AC power is needed to be installed.
On two occasions each day, Service Node communicates with Uppsalahem’s apartment management system to check if any changes have been made to the apartments’ tenant list. If a change has taken place, this data is then sent to the communication unit which in turn communicates with the display in question an wakes it up and replaces the name on the display.
Two units were installed on each premise. Communication to the displays are only conducted if any information on the display needs to be changed. By doing so the battery life is greatly improved.
Easy installation of apartment signs as the back bracket of the display can be glued or screwed on.
The list of tenants is displayed on a larger 12″ display and is updated the same way as the apartment signs.
Vi choose to mount the displays on the frontside of the mailboxes.
We are currently working on a mounting solution for the inside of the box, that way you will be able to see the display both when the box is opened and closed.
