A compact Android computer that sits behind the screen

The Elo Backpack 5 with Android is a small computer running Android 14, built to drive digital signage, self-service kiosks, point-of-sale terminals and kitchen display systems. Its body measures 114 mm x 139 mm x 25.4 mm and weighs 0.59 kg without packaging, so it can be hidden behind a display or inside a counter or kiosk enclosure.

Processing, memory and display output

A Qualcomm QCS6490 processor, 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage handle signage playlists and kiosk applications. The HDMI port outputs up to 3840 x 2160 at 60fps, which suits 4K screens. If you send video through USB-C instead, the output is 1920 x 1080 at 60fps and the USB ports drop to USB 2.0 speeds, so plan for HDMI whenever a 4K screen and several USB 3.0 devices must run together. The chipset includes an AI accelerator rated at up to 12 TOPS combined AI performance.

Ports and wireless for kiosks and signage

The rear panel offers HDMI, four USB 3.0 ports, USB-C output, one Gigabit Ethernet port, a micro-SD slot, GPIO and a DC input. Wireless covers 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax with Bluetooth 5.2, using the two external antennas in the box. The USB 3.0 ports can take a card reader, barcode scanner or receipt printer, depending on the interface of each peripheral.

Remote management, Android updates and warranty

EloView lets IT teams deploy and manage a fleet of Elo Android devices from any location. Android 14 ships with Google Play Services. Planned upgrades to Android 16 and Android 18 are offered through the OS 360 subscription, which also includes bi-monthly Android security updates. The standard warranty is two years, and extended warranty and advance unit replacement options are listed by the manufacturer, so your quotation can match the cover period you need.

Where it fits in Qatar

Retail in Msheireb or The Pearl: driving a promotions screen on a wall, with the unit hidden behind the display.
Clinics and bank branches in Doha: powering a self-service check-in or queuing kiosk, mounted inside the enclosure.
Schools in Education City or Al Wakrah: one unit per large-format display, with apps managed from a central point.
Government and visitor centres in Lusail: running information loops on screens in lobbies.

Keep every unit indoors and air-conditioned. The rated operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 20% to 80% humidity, and Qatar summer temperatures can pass 45°C, so avoid hot cabinets and sunlit positions.

Power, mounting and planning before you order

The power brick accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, and the box includes North American and European power cables. Qatar mains is 240 V at 50 Hz, but confirm that the plug suits BS 1363 Type G sockets before ordering. Typical draw is 4.1 W on, 3.8 W in sleep and 0.1 W off. Mounting uses 75mm or 100mm VESA patterns. The manufacturer's supported-countries list does not name Qatar, so we will confirm support before quoting. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, and professional installation can be arranged with your quotation.

Questions about Backpack 5 with Android

What is the Elo Backpack 5 with Android used for?

It is a compact Android 14 computer that drives digital signage, self-service kiosks, point-of-sale and kitchen display systems. The Qualcomm QCS6490 processor, 8GB RAM and 64GB storage handle playlists and kiosk applications, and its small body is designed to be mounted out of sight behind a screen or inside a counter.

Which displays can it pair with?

The manufacturer says the Backpack adds Android to Elo touchscreen monitors, open frames and large-format interactive displays from 7 to 65 inches. Send us your display model when you request a quote, and we will confirm compatibility before the quotation is issued.

Can it drive a 4K screen?

Yes. The HDMI output supports up to 3840 x 2160 at 60fps. If you send video through USB-C instead, output drops to 1920 x 1080 at 60fps and the USB ports fall to USB 2.0 speeds. Use HDMI whenever a 4K screen and several USB 3.0 devices must work together.

Is it suitable for a hot outdoor location in Qatar?

No. The rated operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 20% to 80% humidity, while Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. Install the unit in an air-conditioned indoor space such as a mall lobby or hotel reception, and confirm the enclosure ventilation with the SmartRooms Qatar team before mounting.

How could a retailer in Msheireb or The Pearl use it?

A retailer could mount the unit on the back of a wall-mounted promotions screen using a 75mm or 100mm VESA pattern. Its 114 mm x 139 mm x 25.4 mm body keeps the rear of the display tidy, and EloView lets the marketing team manage content across the store network from one place.

Can it run a patient check-in kiosk in a Doha clinic?

It can sit inside a self-service kiosk housing because it mounts with the built-in VESA patterns and weighs 0.59 kg unpackaged. Its four USB 3.0 ports can connect a card reader or printer. During the free site survey, confirm the kiosk enclosure, cable routing and each peripheral's interface.

Can a hotel kitchen use it for a kitchen display system?

Kitchen display systems are one of the uses the manufacturer lists, but kitchens are hot and steamy. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C and 20% to 80% humidity, so mount the unit in a cooler area away from cooking equipment and check ventilation with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.

How could a school in Education City or Al Wakrah deploy several units?

A school fitting out classrooms could pair one Backpack with each large-format interactive display, managed centrally through EloView. Public and private schools can order several units on a purchase order (LPO), and the quotation can list the warranty and OS 360 options for each unit.

Will it work with Qatar's 240 V mains supply?

The power brick accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, and typical draw is 4.1 W on, 3.8 W in sleep and 0.1 W off. Qatar mains is 240 V at 50 Hz, but the box includes North American and European cables, so confirm the plug suits BS 1363 Type G sockets before ordering.

Can a government lobby in Lusail run visitor information screens with it?

Yes, the unit can drive an information loop on a lobby screen through HDMI, managed remotely with EloView. Government bodies can order on a purchase order or tender. Confirm the mounting height, cable route and room conditions during the free site survey before the quotation is finalised.

What warranty and support options are available?

The standard warranty is two years. The manufacturer also lists extended warranty options of 3, 4 and 5 years, some with advance unit replacement, and OS 360 packages for 3, 4 and 5 years that cover Android upgrades and bi-monthly security updates. Choose the cover period when you request a quote.

Is Qatar a supported country for this unit?

The manufacturer's published list of supported countries does not include Qatar. Before ordering, ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm support, warranty handling and power cable requirements for your site. We will check this as part of the quotation process, so your order is planned against confirmed information.
