Digital Signage for Passenger Security Checkpoint
at McGhee-Tyson Airport, Knoxville, TN
Integrator : Multi-Media Solutions
 |
McGhee Tyson Airport is the premier air facility in East Tennessee, serving the commercial airline industry, air cargo, military aviation and general aviation. McGhee Tyson Airport has several major airlines serving many non-stop destinations throughout the eastern U.S. With more than 120 arrivals and departures each day and more than 4,000 seats available, McGhee Tyson Airport is one of the most convenient and accessible regional airports in the nation. In accordance with Department of Homeland Security regulations and guidelines, new technology is being integrated into the passenger terminal's environment to make sure passengers are made aware of security procedures and other information. |
 |
The Challenge
In order to help passengers be prepared to pass through the security checkpoint in an efficient manner, the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority wanted a display of clearly visible information, instructions and special announcements, including security checkpoint procedures, the Homeland Security Advisory Threat Level, and guidelines for passengers. The mounting of the bright LCD display was standard, but the content needed to be controlled and updated wirelessly from an administrator's desk, which is in a different building- too far for most wireless technology to reach, with many turns and corridors to travel.
|
Passenger security checks will move along much more efficiently with clearly displayed guidelines regarding security procedures, plus the capability to broadcast Homeland Security information or other special communications.
The Solution
It's a straight shot from the LCD panel out across part of the aircraft gate area to the office where the computer doing the updates for the signage is.....so with the antenna from the wireless system "seeing" right thru the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the Repromotion™ Power2Show™ ITTV was perfectly suited for the task.

 Every single person who walks in says "WOW " |
 |
John-David Roddy, founder, principal and Chief Manager of Blue Ridge Development, wanted a high-tech look for the lobby of Blue Ridge Realty’s Lakeside Centre headquarters in Knoxville to enhance the experience of every customer and associate who walks through the doors with an impressive visual display of Blue Ridge Companies’ outstanding projects. The array of LG Electronics plasma and LCD screens, each dedicated to a different look at Blue Ridge’s world, is a stunning statement of the Blue Ridge vision! You’ ll see Tyson Center, the large business complex adjacent to McGhee-Tyson Airport, and The Preserve at English Mountain featured on two of the screens. |
 |
The Challenge
Blue Ridge Realty wanted the high-quality technology to say "forward-thinking" and "technologically sophisticated" to all viewers, but the actual operation of the digital signage system- the software for scheduling and distributing the content to the various displays- that had to be as user-friendly and simple to use as possible.

The Solution
The high-quality
displays by LG speak for themselves- bright, crisp images and video against that
dark wall are just stunning. But only the ITTV wireless server and player could provide the user interface for fast updates,
scheduling and distribution to the displays. These powerful systems are perfect
for this application.
