MzeroPlatform

What MzeroPlatform is

MzeroPlatform is a Windows kiosk browser for organizations that want to present web applications or digital signage on kiosks. Administrators can control which URLs kiosk users can open by allowing approved addresses or denying specified ones. Kiosk security features include lockdown, boot control, a screensaver, safe URL searching and automatic recovery after a crash. Its attract loop can show interactive or non-interactive advertisements, while landing pages can display websites, images and videos. Images and videos can also run in loops on attract screens.

Administrators can access kiosks remotely and deploy changes using secured access from Windows, Apple or Android systems. The product sheet also describes integration with kiosk components such as payment, printing, scanning, dispensing, voice and video over IP, and other devices. MzeroPlatform interfaces with MzeroManage for monitoring and control. Landing-page content and kiosk buttons are edited through XML configuration files, with optional Spanish content and multilingual button captions. Meridian offers voice and online technical support across North America, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM EST. The company is headquartered in Aberdeen, North Carolina, and was founded in 1999.

Who it suits

MzeroPlatform suits businesses and organizations that need secure web content or digital signage on Windows kiosks. Its URL controls, remote administration and listed component integrations also fit deployments that need managed access to kiosk devices and peripherals.

Limits

The plan price is available on request. A perpetual server license is optional, as are phone, payment and enterprise integration add-ons with MzeroManage and MzeroCreate.

Getting started

1. Visit the MzeroPlatform product website.
2. Contact Meridian for pricing on the paid product.
3. Choose a perpetual server license or optional integration add-ons as needed.
4. Configure landing-page content and kiosk buttons through XML files.
5. Use MzeroManage for monitoring and control facilities.

Verdict

Choose MzeroPlatform for a Windows kiosk deployment that needs web access controls, signage and device integration. Organizations should look elsewhere if they require a listed platform other than Windows or need pricing before contacting Meridian.
