Samsung Electronics recently finished implementing its SMART Signage at the new Istanbul Airport, which will be the world’s largest airport once completed. Set to serve 200 million passengers annually, the massive facility is anticipated to host 2,000 arriving and departing aircrafts, with flights to 350 destinations.
Samsung’s installations include nearly 700 Samsung SMART LCD and LED signs, including LED displays covering a total of 10,894 square feet. The total surface area of the LED displays is equivalent to that of 2.5 basketball courts, according to the company. The project was completed by a technical team of 28 in only 45 days with the help of B.T. Global, a firm specialized in digital signage, security, data storage and IT services.
The new Istanbul Airport aims to be the biggest international airport in the world, covering nearly 823 million square feet. The first phase of the Istanbul Airport opened on October 29, 2018, the 95th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. The airport’s main terminal building, a 15.1-million-square-foot space under one roof, is where Samsung led the installation of the digital signage technology.
“We are proud to participate in one of the most significant projects in Turkey’s history and a great achievement in global aviation,” says Seog-gi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung SMART Signage not only guarantees excellent colors and picture quality to capture visitors’ eyes, but its durable, IP5x-validated design ensures 24/7 continuous content delivery regardless of environmental factors, including dust, dirt and lighting exposure.”
