Network & Offline Behavior

FairAds Media Player is built for resilient offline operation:

  • Ad assets and schedules are cached locally on player storage.
  • If internet connectivity drops, the player continues looping cached ads uninterrupted.
  • Play logs and Proof of Performance (POP) batches sync automatically once network connectivity is restored.
