Baggage Claim

Provide instant status updates on arriving baggage and related flight information, while keeping travelers engaged with imaginative imagery.

Advertising

Provide advertisers opportunities outside with billboards and digital furniture. Inside, use displays around the airport to reach every passenger.

Ticketing and Check-in

Communicate airline information and wait times, while improving the experience with impactful imagery.

Flight Information

Using LED technology ensures at-a-glance viewing clarity from any angle so travelers can plan ahead.

Curbside

The proper signage makes drop-off and pickup more efficient, with clear airline information and instructions about routes and time limits.

Gate

Airports or airlines can make the wait more pleasant by showing destination photos or videos while keeping travelers informed quickly and easily.

Guidance and Wayfinding

Make sure travelers can find information desks, TSA officials and even security with attention-grabbing LED displays. Effective messaging may even eliminate the need to wait in line.

Parking

Provide real-time information about rates, space availability, charging stations and handicap accessible parking.

Marquees

Enhance airport branding and welcome travelers before they start the journey.

Roadway

Travelers can stay informed on their way to the airport with dynamic signs suspended over roadways, ensuring smoother traffic flow. Real-time information can include traffic conditions, simple navigation and lane closures.

Experiential and Immersive Experience

Provide an immersive experience that fits in with any architecture. Our premium indoor narrow pixel pitch products provide high brightness and contrast levels for optimized image detail, while cutting-edge chip on board technology minimizes energy consumption and improves reliability.

Retail and Restaurants

LED video display content makes it easy for stores to attract attention and let travelers know about specials or sales. Once people are inside, it’s easy to keep the conversation going with behind-the-counter displays such as menu boards.

Eye-level Information

Robust technology provides the opportunity to use street furniture or wall displays for interactive content such as advertising, wayfinding, real-time messaging or even art and entertainment.

Cellphone Lots

Provide real-time flight information to waiting drivers. Keeping them informed about flight arrivals, delays, and baggage claim times enables more efficient pickups and reduces unnecessary idling time.

Immersive Environments

Today’s travelers expect more at every step of their journey. They have access to entertaining content at every moment, and LED technology can play an integral role in engaging them as they move through an airport.

Creative content and LED technology blend entertainment and information, giving airport facilities the ability to immerse travelers and become exceptional destinations.

LED video technology is architecturally flexible, with the ability to create interactive experiences in strategic spaces, including columns, ceilings, walls and more.

Self-Service & Automation

Upgrading key areas with clear, effective real-time information can increase efficiency and improve the overall traveler experience. From interactive wayfinding to self-service bag drops, airports are finding new ways to automate the travel process.

LED displays behind the ticketing counter provide flexibility. Airports can easily create a common use ticketing system by changing content to allow different airlines to use any counter. Regional airlines can borrow a counter from a major airline for a few hours or a chartered travel agency flight can be branded periodically to aid in traveler wayfinding.

Providing simple, step-by-step instructions empowers travelers so they can drop off their own baggage, freeing up airline staff and speeding up the entire check-in process.
