XP Lite is a Custom Media solution for individuals, hospitality, and commercial environments. The platform enables organizations to provide branded digital experiences, informational resources, communications, and authorized multimedia content to users through an Apple device.

Organizations configure the application by connecting it to their own platform, content sources, and services using organization-specific connection settings and URLs. Content and functionality are managed by each participating organization and are not supplied by the application or its developer. The application is intended for private deployments and customized installations rather than direct consumer distribution.
