Longevity with SMART

Invest in a SMART display today and enjoy quality and interactivity for up to 10 years. SMART offers over-the-air (OTA) software updates, providing new features, OS upgrades and security patches for a minimum of 3 years from the launch of a display. Additionally, for up to 10 years following the release, you can extend your display's lifecycle with appliance-based upgrades, ensuring your technology remains current and relevant over time.

SMART's upgradability promise

Thanks to SMART's unique upgradability promise, our displays not only have a long lifespan but actually get better over time.

With LED panels rated for 50,000 hours, SMART displays are designed to keep going strong. We put them through some pretty tough tests—extreme temperatures, humidity and voltage swings—to make sure they hold up. This durability means our products break less often, which not only helps reduce e-waste and cut down on CO2 emissions from unnecessary replacements but provides quality you can count on.

In a typical classroom setting, you can expect a SMART panel to last up to 30 years, assuming 8 hours of use a day and 200 school days a year.

But it is not just about the hardware. SMART interactive displays with iQ come with automatic over-the-air (OTA) updates that provide system software updates and new features.

SMART also offers appliance-based upgrade options to keep older panels running the latest software. In fact the recently launched AM60 iQ appliance even supports displays going back to 2015.
