USA - Lighthouse high-resolution LED screens ave been selected by Urban Display Network LLC (UDN) for a huge project to install wirelessly networked electronic billboards at the street-level entrances to Manhattan's subway stations. UDN, a Las Vegas-based company, is partnering with US media giant Clear Channel Outdoor on the project. The system rollout has already begun, with 20 sites operational by 1 December. Clear Channel, which holds a street-level advertising contract with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), plans to extend its new screen network throughout the island's subway system to around 80 screens during the first quarter of 2004.
MTA and Clear Channel had originally experimented with plasma screens for the sites, which are at eye-level on top of the railings surrounding the steps leading down to platform level. But the wide variations in ambient light levels and other physical factors led them, through UDN, to look at LED technology. Says Williams: "Plasma did not reach the accepted levels of brightness in daylight hours, so we looked at a number of different manufacturers' LED screens, including Lighthouse, whose products I was familiar with as VP of Ad Art. Having looked at their latest screens I visited the factory in China. Seeing how well put together the screens are, and the attention to detail of the engineers, the decision to go forward with the Lighthouse product was an easy one."
The screen model chosen is the latest LVP0620 (6mm pixel pitch, 2000 Nits brightness) that employs Lighthouse's M4 technology and includes 13 bit processing, uniformity control and full remote diagnostic feedback. A 2000 Nit screen might seem unusual to select for an outdoor environment, but in New York City there are tall buildings all around the sites which makes the brightness quite sufficient - and the colours are spectacular. When our first screen was installed the chairman of Clear Channel Outdoor came to look at it. He walked up from a block away and said that it looked to him like a plasma screen only brighter: that's how good it was."
The content delivery process is all-digital and extremely fast, with the ads sent via the Internet from Clear Channel in New York to UDN's Las Vegas office. There, the advertising content is play scheduled using the Webpavement sign operating system and web-based server, edited (if necessary) by UDN's creative department and finally uploaded to individual screens via the Verizon wireless connection. "We can remotely administer the system from anywhere - Las Vegas, for example - and the open architecture means we were able to customize the functionality to our specific needs," adds Williams.
Each screen is fitted with an omni directional WiFi-Plus Ultra-M antenna, which had proved to give the best performance on the Manhattan streets, a demanding environment because of the multiple obstacles of buildings, cars and pedestrian traffic. The screen housings were specially fabricated to cope with the extremes of weather from subzero winters to boiling summers, "along with all the extracurricular activities that happen in New York," says Williams. All cabinets and electronics are completely enclosed with special tools required to open them. They have created an instant response from New Yorkers, with the journal Media Week quoting Tim Stauning, president of Clear Channel Outdoor New York, as saying: 'It's like outdoor [advertising] on steroids'.
Obstruction Penetrating wireless solution used in Sierra National Forest / Yosemite National Park Area campgrounds
Cleveland Ohio -- Jul 27, 2004 -- Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 29, 2004 -- New, patented antennas from WiFi-Plus, Inc. which have remarkable tree and obstruction penetrating qualities were combined with Value Point Rugged Access Points, to make a wireless internet available to RV’ers in Yosemite National Park area.
“The rugged design and high power of the Value Point Networks SuperAP(tm) and vastly superior tree penetrating ability of the WiFi-Plus antenna, allowed us to protect the environment and satisfy our customers need for wireless connectivity while visiting the park.” said Frank Beard Communication Consultant for Airwave Adventurers. (The project spokeman).
Mr. Beard added, “ It is important to us to keep it simple using best of breed equipment with a turn key approach. By integrating WiFi-Plus, Inc. obstruction penetrating antennas with Value Point Networks Access Points and the customers own equipment, delivering reliable, available, wireless telecom, required only a quarter of the base stations originally expected. All other antennas tested either failed or rendered the project cost-prohibitive. WiFi-Plus is clearly the new standard in antenna design. We felt the rugged nature of the Value Point Networks AP's used for the project also contributed to the over all success. They out performed other wi-fi access points we tested and we are able to provide a good data throughput even on a fair or faint signal level”. Airwave Adventures will only use Wifi-Plus antennas and believe they have a competitive advantage by doing so. Airwave seeks to put the technology in place in as many hotels and RV Parks as possible. With our solution we can meet the challenges of a particularly difficult wireless deployment in a tree obstructed environments. The new advancement in technology will allow us to seek many other projects that we had previously passed on due to dense foliage.
WiFi-Plus, Inc. “We are proud to offer a product that is made in the USA and can be used to protect the natural beauty of the National Forest and Parks while at the same time offering superior performance in real world environments that would have previously required running more wires or building additional towers. We offer something that will remove constraints, constraints that have been imposed by current linear antenna technology. WiFi-Plus multi-polarity (MP) antenna technology will enable the next generation of connectivity to proceed.”
ValuePoint Networks’ VP Business Development David Grissom said, “The Shaver Lake campground is a perfect example of the kinds of deployments where our product features shine. While so many other products are made for home or enterprise use, we make ours for Public Access Wi-Fi. Combined with the WiFi-Plus antenna and the expertise of Airwave Adventures, this is the perfect fit”.
