ITSENCLOSURES Installs Digital Signage at Columbus Airport
Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania-based ITSENCLOSURES, a maker of outdoor digital signage enclosures for digital menu boards and LCD displays, announces the installation of an all-weather LCD enclosure at the John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio.
The LCD enclosure was commissioned by the Central Ohio Transit Authority to display bus schedules for airplane passengers traveling to downtown Columbus.
ITSENCLOSURES installed its newly-introduced fan-cooled LCD enclosure. The all-weather enclosure is paired with a 47-inch high bright LCD panel to combat direct sunlight and high ambient light. When compared to previous models, the LCD panel boasts more vibrant colors and a reduction in energy consumption, according to the company. A standalone media player for creative content is also part of the solution.
The LCD enclosure includes a filtered fan system, built-in heater, and temperature monitor to ensure 24/7 operation in a temperature range of -20 degrees to 110 degrees Fahrenheit with direct sunlight exposure. To reduce maintenance, the enclosure utilizes hydrophobic air filters that only need to be replaced every 3-5 years.
The screen displays real time COTA bus schedules from the airport to downtown Columbus and serves as extra branding and awareness for COTA. Passengers are also able to purchase tickets at a kiosk to the left of the digital sign. COTA says it already has plans to install more of the devices around Columbus in the immediate future.
