The Philips Wave branding signifies a robust commitment to advancing world-class AV software solutions tailored for international partners and customers. Originally launched at ISE 2022, the Wave ecosystem has undergone significant enhancements over the past two years, allowing users to fully leverage the versatility and intelligence of their Android System on Chip (SoC) Philips Professional Displays while promoting sustainability in business operations.
The Evolution of Remote Management
The Philips Wave platform, powered by the innovative Wave Controller, offers AV and IT managers unparalleled control over professional displays, facilitating remote management on both local and international levels. Key features include seamless firmware and software updates, customizable settings adjustments, and predictive maintenance, all designed to optimize display performance and reliability. Complementing this ecosystem is the dedicated ProStore, a comprehensive digital marketplace where customers can easily access preferred applications and services, including those from trusted third-party partners like NowSignage, Appspace, and NoviSign, all without compatibility concerns.
Siddarth Gopal, Global Director of Software Solutions at PPDS, highlighted the continuous evolution of the Wave ecosystem, stating, “When we launched Wave in 2022, we envisioned an adaptable solution. Today, with ongoing updates, new partnerships, and expanded functionalities, our platform is vastly superior to its initial launch version. This momentum is critical as we position ourselves for sustained growth and innovation in the global market.”
A Strategic Rebranding for Greater Recognition
The rebranding to Philips Wave enhances brand recognition and aligns the platform more closely with the trusted Philips name, known for quality and reliability since 1891. Martijn van der Woude, VP Global Marketing and Business Development at PPDS, emphasized that this transformation goes beyond mere aesthetics, saying, “Philips Wave represents our commitment to innovation and excellence in AV solutions, establishing a stronger connection with our customers and partners.”
New Features and Enhanced Security for 2025
In addition to the brand refresh, PPDS is thrilled to announce that Philips Wave has achieved ISO 27001 certification, underscoring the company’s dedication to safeguarding sensitive data. This globally recognized certification demonstrates a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, with robust security measures in place to protect against current and future threats.
Siddarth reiterated the importance of security in the digital age, stating, “At PPDS, customer data security is non-negotiable. The ISO 27001 certification validates our commitment to protecting our partners and customers, offering them confidence in our solutions for today and the future.”
