Bristol Airport is the main commercial airport serving Bristol and Southern England, with regular flights to some of Europe’s favourite holiday destinations. And thanks to their clear, accessible signage, they really know how to keep their passengers up to date…

The challenge

Bristol Airport wanted to find a new way to show flight information, supplemented by news and advertising, outside the terminal buildings.

What they needed – and were struggling to find – was a high-brightness screen that was robust, waterproof, vandal proof and smart. Fortunately they found Teksmart® and soon realised that they could meet all their expectations…

The solution

Teksmart® proposed four 32” outdoor screens, with a built-in PC in each unit. This meant that each unit could be run independently, and controlled from anywhere in the airport (or even from another location).

They wanted to maintain the clean, white look of the terminal buildings, so opted for white colour units. They also chose to include their own airport software on the screens, which worked seamlessly with the in-built windows 7 PC.

Result

The robust 32” screens look great and work wonderfully. Using the VESA bracket fixings they have made their own custom stands and fixings to suit. And because they’ve been made to last (built on a steel casing) Bristol Airport staff know they’ve got a good investment too.

The 32” high brightness screens are readable even in summer sunlight. And, thanks to the heated screens, still readable when the weather is cold dark and grey.
