The ELO Backpack is designed as a universal Android-powered media engine that transforms displays into connected smart devices. Whether you use ELO touchscreens, open-frame units, or third-party monitors, the Backpack adapts effortlessly.
It’s not limited to one display type or environment. You can deploy it across kiosks, point-of-sale systems, digital signage, or interactive exhibits—all while maintaining the same management platform.
