Digital Signage for Passenger Security Checkpoint

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 digital 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, ITTV was perfectly suited for the task.

If your presentation is not on a permanent display use Power2show instead of ITTV.
