Technology from the firm will be used for feeding informational and interactive content to approximately 30 displays located throughout all seven floors of the museum, which is open 365 days a year and attracts an around 20,000 visitors every day.

Bright Sign’s 4K players power a combination of Sharp and LG displays at key entry points and high-traffic areas, and include single screens, video walls and interactive touchscreens.

“The initial deployment of Bright Sign’s players has been very successful— they’ve performed as expected with flawless operation and zero downtime,” says Steve Hey, director of technology infrastructure and security at the National September 11 Memorial, adding: “Bright Sign’s players will figure prominently in future deployments as we continue to update signage throughout the museum.”

To support the project, Smart Digital Solutions will provide systems integration and support.

Hal Scharfman, chief technology officer at Smart Digital Solutions, adds: “We were impressed by the affordability of Bright Sign’s 4K players, especially considering their robust feature set.”
