The entry won top honors in the public space category for JetBlue's digital signage implementation at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. JetBlue's spectacular "Digital Signage Ring" is comprised of 43 40-inch NEC LCD monitors installed in the shape of a giant oval suspended from the ceiling. This deployment creates great visual appeal for the new Terminal 5 at JFK and enhances the travel experience for JetBlue customers. JetBlue selected the NEC MultiSync® LCD4020 model based on reliability, video-wall capabilities and its thin bezel, which creates a more seamless picture. The Digital Signage Ring shows JetBlue branding content and also will be used for advertising, entertainment and to educate travelers. Custom content was created for the unique ring shape. JetBlue also purchased more than 200 LCD displays from NEC for its flight information displays throughout the terminal.
