Architectural digital signage
Pointer, Plus and Billboard share one design language — a lightweight matte-black display head that drops into a weighted, sealed base. The base is the battery, the ballast, and the dock. A concealed magnetic pogo-pin connection aligns and powers the head the moment it lands. No cables. No plugs. No tipping in wind. Every unit ships with a 36-month warranty and interest-free financing.
The architecture
Conventional outdoor signage tries to hide its weakness behind sandbags and water-filled bases. Curb Media is engineered the other way. The display itself is a lightweight, sealed head — the kind of piece a single agent can carry one-handed from the car. The weight, the battery, and the brains all live inside a low, wide ballast base that doubles as the dock. Drop the head in. Concealed magnets self-align it. Pogo-pin contacts close. Power comes on. There is nothing to plug in, because there is nothing to unplug.
Head
Matte-black anodised chassis, smoked-glass face, portrait LCD. Under 8 kg even at the Billboard size. One person, one hand, one motion.
Dock
Concealed magnetic pogo-pin contacts inside the base. The head self-aligns and locks. Sealed against rain, salt and dust to IP65.
Base
LiFePO₄ pack, BMS and connectivity sealed inside a weighted ballast. Low centre of gravity, wind-stable, charges overnight in the office.
How it docks
No tripod legs to unlock. No cables to thread. No power switch to find. Place. Drop. Walk away.
01
Carry the ballast base to the corner. It sits flat on grass, paver or footpath — the weight does the work.
02
Concealed magnets self-align the head into the dock. You feel the click. Pogo-pin contacts close inside, sealed and invisible.
03
The screen powers on automatically. Your campaign is already loaded. At pack-down, lift the head off — same motion, in reverse.
Magnetic pogo-pin docking is the same family of connection used in cordless surgical carts, marine battery systems and premium cordless appliances. Field-proven, weather-sealed, no exposed contacts.
