Cloud Station

Cloud Station is a software platform designed to manage and control public-access PCs and consoles from a single, cloud-based dashboard.

It brings together functionalities from both Internet Café and Kiosk systems, helping administrators to secure and manage computer use in shared environments.

Cloud Station handles user access, billing, and marketing all in one place, ideal for gaming cafés, school labs, hotel lounges, libraries and more, making daily operations easier while maintaining a secure, reliable environment for all users.

Cloud Station

Console, TV, and Projector Control

Consoles

Cloud Station gives you remote control over more than just PCs. Using Tuya Smart integration, you can power on or off game consoles, TVs, projectors, and other connected devices directly from your dashboard.

This allows you to save energy, manage sessions more efficiently, and create an automated environment that responds to your business needs.

Whether you’re running a gaming lounge, hotel entertainment area, or digital classroom, Cloud Station makes it easy to control your entire setup—all from a single cloud-based interface.

Schedule device availability, assign power rules per station, and monitor usage in real time.

Kiosk Secure Browser

Cloud Station includes a built-in secure Chromium-based browser, ideal for public access in kiosk mode.

It provides a locked-down browsing environment that restricts user access to only approved websites, ensuring privacy and security.

With customizable start pages, session time limits, and URL whitelisting or blacklisting, the Kiosk Secure Browser is perfect for libraries, hotels, self-service stations, and digital info points.

It prevents access to system settings or unauthorized content, keeping your devices safe and user-friendly.

Kiosk Control

Two Flexible Modes Of Operation

Café Mode

In Café Mode, Cloud Station creates a fully managed environment for shared computer access. This is perfect for gaming cafés, coworking spaces, or training centers where users can launch approved apps or games while other system parts remain hidden or blocked.

Café Mode
Kiosk Mode

Kiosk Mode is built for unattended devices—such as terminals in waiting rooms or information desks. Instead of a full desktop, the system boots directly into a secure Chromium-based browser on a predefined web page. Users enjoy controlled browsing without access to system settings.

Login and Access Control Options

Cloud Station supports multiple authentication methods, including individual accounts, prepaid vouchers, one-time passwords, and even instant access after a brief video ad. You can also offer limited free trials or fully automate signups with integrated payment options while customizable session rules log out inactive users automatically.

Application and Content Management

Group applications into categories such as Games, Media, and Tools so users see a neatly organized menu of approved programs. Additionally, block access to specific apps, system tools, or Windows features (like Open, Save, or Run) to maintain a distraction-free environment. In both modes, the software replaces desktop icons with a secure, streamlined interface and can launch a restricted browser when needed.

Remote Power and Device Control

With Smart Power Integration, Cloud Station works with Tuya-compatible smart plugs to let administrators remotely power on or off devices such as TVs, gaming consoles, projectors, and more—all directly from the dashboard without needing physical access.

Personalized User Experience

Fully customize the login screen with your logo, background colors or images, and announcements to create a unique splash page per station. Plus, run promotions with image/video ads and send post-session follow-ups via email, SMS, or WhatsApp with GDPR-compliant marketing features.

Full Payment and Billing System

Integrate with over 100 payment gateways—including Stripe, PayPal, and mobile money services—to offer various paid access plans based on time or data usage. Generate instant vouchers, manage detailed user accounts with specific limits and expiration dates, and even enable reseller features for added flexibility.

Real-Time Monitoring and Analytics

Get a live overview of all connected devices through the Cloud Station dashboard. Every session is tracked in real time, with detailed logs and usage reports that help you understand system performance and make informed decisions.
