Firewall & Installation Requirements Middle East (ME) Server

Once the NowSignage application is installed on to a compatible device, to access content that powers the digital signage, we require access from the host network to various endpoints and URLs operated by NowSignage. As such, outbound routes will need to be available:

NowSignage will only perform HTTP connections via SSL/TLS (HTTPS) and will require port 443 is accessible on the domains stated above.

NowSignage is designed to be data-efficient by automatically compressing the file sizes of images and videos. Content is only played once it has been fully downloaded, allowing most media to be stored locally on the device. This approach minimises the need for constant data streaming over the network, significantly reducing overall bandwidth consumption.

We generally recommend and minimum network requirement of 2mbps download speed, however if you are live streaming IPTV or real-time dashboards then a stronger and more stable connection is advisable. If for security purposes a digital signage hardware device has been configured via a proxy server, then access to the NowSignage application should still be achievable as NowSignage does not block proxys from accessing our CDN.
