Uniguest unifies IPTV and signage via sector-specific Hubs at InfoComm

The move signals a critical shift from standalone hardware to integrated software ecosystems that manage the entire enterprise video lifecycle. By unifying 1.1 million endpoints under industry-specific management layers, Uniguest is addressing the fragmentation caused by years of aggressive M&A. In the broader streaming market, this represents a push toward 'everything-apps' for B2B environments, where IPTV and signage must coexist on unified networks to reduce operational overhead. Watch for Uniguest’s ability to migrate existing legacy clients from its acquired brands, such as Tripleplay and MediaStar, onto the unified Hub architecture throughout 2026.

The rollout of sector-specific Hubs follows a multi-year consolidation strategy by Uniguest. According to Invidis Yearbook 2025, Uniguest was ranked as the world’s third-largest digital signage software provider by market size and recurring revenue. This scale is largely the result of a rapid acquisition path; per Tracxn reporting in April 2026, the company has completed 17 acquisitions to date, including key IP video and signage brands like Onelan, Tripleplay, and MediaStar. This aggressive M&A strategy was supported by a $190 million funding round led by Atlantic Street Capital in June 2021, providing the capital necessary to absorb regional competitors across five continents.

Technically, the Hub platform has evolved to meet rising demand for interactive and low-latency streaming in commercial settings. In February 2026, Uniguest released Tripleplay version 26.1, which introduced an 'Interactive Multiview' feature. Powering the new Hub solutions, this update uses BrightSign hardware to deliver four simultaneous video streams in a 2x2 layout, specifically targeting sports betting venues and corporate trading floors. Furthermore, the company expanded its hardware compatibility in early 2026 by adding native support for Samsung E-Paper displays and integrated Netflix app support for Samsung hospitality TVs, reflecting a broader industry trend toward reducing local hardware through System-on-Chip (SoC) integration.

At InfoComm 2026, Uniguest's focus on large-scale reliability aligns with broader show trends. Per AVIXA’s May 2026 announcements, the event is heavily spotlighting AI-driven personalization and the integration of AV with IT infrastructure. While many competitors are focusing on pure cloud-native signage, Uniguest’s hybrid approach—combining IPTV headends with cloud management—positions it to serve high-security, mission-critical environments like casinos and hospitals where network downtime is not an option.
