In a booming digital signage industry with a growing number of opportunities, there’s certainly no shortage of LED display providers. Some have been around for decades, others for months. Some are actual manufacturers, others are more of the white-labeling variety. So much activity and opportunity is a good thing overall for the industry, but it also means more poor-quality products, missed timelines, and race-to-the-bottom sales processes are present in the marketplace.
Now more than ever, it pays to work with a credible technology provider. One who’s been around for a while. One with technical expertise. One who demonstrates quality time and time again. We have an in-house group technical experts – we call them SNAPros™ – that we lean on heavily to ensure we are reaching above our competition in these areas. The experts on this team range from hardware and systems specialists to project managers with engineering backgrounds to field techs with tons of experience under their belts. And when we need highly specialized engineering expertise, we make sure to find it, such as how to deal with hurricane-force winds on the award-winning Entry Experience at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Please enjoy a few articles from our blog Limelight, where some of these SNAPros™ have provided perspectives on interesting technical or engineering challenges encountered during project deployments. And let us know if you or a client is in need of technical expertise to bring a creative vision to life.

ALL HANDS ON DECK: When it comes to digital display rollouts as vast as the mega-mall and entertainment destination American Dream, it’s definitely all hands on deck. It took a coordinated team spanning several divisions at SNA Displays to make this vision a reality. In a 2-part article series, several SNAPros™ go behind the screens to lay out some of the more complex aspects of the project.

IT’S ALL A FACADE: Nicole Rotyliano, licensed electrical engineer and SNA Displays senior project manager, walks us through a few customizations for a seemingly standard digital billboard mounted to the façade of a luxury residential building in Boston. There were quite a few structural considerations requiring an infrared scan as well as a custom cladding solution to match the building façade.
