BrightSign HD226 and HD1026 media players can be used to decode images, audio, and video for digital-signage and kiosk applications. They have the following new features:

- Improved video and graphics performance
- A 100 Base-T ethernet port (in addition to the standard 1000 Base-T port) for remote control of attached displays and identification\*
- An internal micro-SD card reader (in addition to the external reader) for greater security
- A SIM card slot
- An M.2 connector for WiFi 
- An M.2 connector for an internal cellular modem for wireless 4G player networking. 
  - Note that only one module can be fitted at a time since there is only one set of SMA antenna connections

The players can be controlled with various networked and built-in interfaces and include a Real Time Clock (RTC) with supercapacitor that backs up the clock settings when it is power cycled.
