Philips Hardware Directory

This article outlines the minimum requirements for Philips professional displays that support the Wave platform, and lists supported and recommended device lines for running Fugo.

Written by Fugo

Note: Some Philips displays run standard Android without Wave support. In those cases, Fugo may still run via manual APK installation (sideloading).

This directory focuses specifically on Wave-enabled professional displays and the supported deployment model through Philips ProStore.

Understanding Philips Wave Displays

Philips professional displays use the Wave platform for remote device management and application deployment.

Wave-enabled displays are commercial Android-based signage displays designed for:

  • Continuous operation

  • Remote fleet management

  • Application installation via Philips ProStore

Fugo runs on Philips displays that:

  • Have an Android SoC, either built into the panel or added with an OPS module, since Fugo installs as an Android app from the ProStore

  • Support the Wave platform

  • Have the Wave app installed

  • Are claimed inside a Wave account

☝️ Check for Android as well as Wave. Wave and Fugo have slightly different needs: Wave works on some panels that have no Android SoC, while Fugo needs Android to install into. Most Philips signage lines have Android built in. The P-Line is the exception, and it takes an Android module - see the P-Line section below.

Minimum requirements

To run Fugo on a Philips Wave-enabled display, you must have:

  • A Philips professional display with an Android SoC, built in or added via an OPS module, that supports Wave

  • Compatible firmware (see Philips Wave supported display list)

  • The Wave app installed and active on the display

  • The display claimed in your Wave account

  • Network access allowing outbound ports 80, 443, and 8883

Wave Lite is sufficient to run Fugo. Wave Essential is required only for bulk display claiming and advanced fleet features.


Supported display lines

Wave support depends on both model and firmware version. Refer to Philips' official Wave documentation to confirm compatibility for your specific model.

The following Philips professional display lines are supported under Wave (subject to firmware requirements):

  • Q-Line

  • D-Line

  • T-Line

  • E-Line

  • C-Line

  • S-Line

  • CRD Series

  • P-Line (with the CRD52 Android module, see below)

  • B-Line (additional installation requirements may apply)

  • I-Line (limited support)

P-Line: specify it with the CRD52 Android module

The P-Line is built around the Wave chipset, which handles remote management without needing an Android SoC of its own. Since Fugo installs as an Android app from the ProStore, a P-Line panel on its own has nowhere to install it.

The supported configuration is P-Line together with the CRD52. The CRD52 is Philips' own OPS accessory: it slides into the display's OPS slot and adds Android 14 with 8 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, which is comfortably above what Fugo needs, while keeping Wave remote management. The optional CRD29 adds Wi-Fi if there is no wired network at the screen.

So the P-Line is a good choice for Fugo, as long as the CRD52 is on the order. Two practical points:

  • Budget the module as part of the screen rather than an optional extra, and check it appears on the quote.

  • If you would rather not fit a module at all, the D-Line and Q-Line have an Android SoC built in and need nothing added.

Because Wave support depends on firmware, we recommend confirming compatibility directly in the Philips Wave documentation before purchasing hardware for new deployments.

Recommended for new deployments

For new purchases, we recommend selecting current-generation Philips professional displays that:

  • Have an Android SoC, built in or added with a CRD52 module

  • Ship with recent Android firmware

  • Are explicitly listed as Wave-supported

  • Receive ongoing firmware updates

D-Line and Q-Line displays are commonly deployed in commercial signage environments and are generally suitable for Fugo deployments when running supported firmware.


Performance notes

Philips Wave-enabled displays are commercial signage hardware designed for extended operation and professional environments.

Supported capabilities when running Fugo include:

  • Landscape and portrait orientation

  • Scheduled and automated playback

  • Web-based dashboards and apps

  • Remote screen monitoring

  • Remote application updates via Wave

  • Offline playback of uploaded media

Performance will vary depending on:

  • Firmware version

  • Network stability

  • Dashboard complexity

  • Concurrent content usage

For high-performance dashboard environments, ensure stable wired connectivity where possible.
