Nanonation Expands Platform to Amazon Signage Stick, Delivering Powerful, Affordable Digital Displays

Original Date November 2024 — Our insight — The Amazon Signage Stick is a worthy competitor for ultra low cost “budget” implementations for sure. Simple setup, purpose-built kiosk mode/autoreboot, compact and portable. Easy to integrate with Alexa and it is scalable.   Maybe not the best for 4K playback? Some have said that. We checked and their QA tester reported that the Signage Stick played 4K videos better than most SoC platforms and at least as well as a typical PC player. Maybe not 24×7 enterprise-grade? Remains to be seen.

Having said that there are many situations where a super complex CMS is not required or even desired. Those come with their own heavy maintenance. Each situation has it own variables and one size never fits all. Purpose-built is main intent.

Having Nanonation is best of all though given their long experience in content, interaction and monitoring.

Nanonation is one of 50 “certified” CMS providers for the Amazon Signage Stick.

CMS aspects such as managing content is limited by 32GB of stick and most just use store and forward technique.  We’ll see larger sticks and more intelligence. The stick is basically a modified Android OS.

Amazon launches Remote Monitoring in January 2026

Overview: Remote Management API for Amazon Signage

Amazon Signage now offers a Remote Management API that lets content management systems (CMS) control and monitor Amazon Signage Stick devices more deeply — all through the CMS app interface rather than requiring manual, on-site intervention.

Good for basic troubleshooting functions.

 Key Capabilities

With remote management enabled (via participating CMS partners), businesses can:

Device Control

• Turn displays on/off to save energy and preserve screen life (dependent on TV CEC support).

• Restart or factory reset Signage Sticks from the cloud without visiting the screen.

Health Monitoring
