"Daktronics' reputation as leaders in the digital billboard marketplace, in addition to their outstanding service, were the central reasons we went with them as our supplier," says John T. Carroll, president of Carroll Advertising. "The potential we saw in the billboard's location absolutely warranted the service of the most stable, and reputable digital billboard manufacturer to help us capitalize on this amazing opportunity. For us, Daktronics is that company."
The 10-feet by 30-feet Valo(r) OT digital billboard faces south and is positioned north of Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, on Route 1, Foxborough, Massachusetts. According to Carroll, more than 40,000 vehicles pass by the billboard each day.
"The digital billboard allows us the unique opportunity to generate extra revenues out of a single billboard face, and the fact that it can now feature multiple, rotating advertisements, takes complete advantage of its distinct location," says Carroll.
Not only did Daktronics provide its industry-leading OT technology for Carroll Advertising, they assisted in the acquisition of sign permits for the billboard. Daktronics personnel utilized their many years of success and actively participated in zoning hearings where they educated officials on the benefits and safety of digital billboards. In the spring of 2009, Carroll Advertising was granted a display permit for the pilot program, confirming Daktronics' ongoing commitment to helping outdoor advertising companies succeed in digital billboard advertising.
Daktronics model is simple. Work with the customer from start to finish in every facet of the digital conversion process. From assisting outdoor companies in obtaining sign permits, to providing the industry's most advanced digital billboard technology, Daktronics has the resources to fit and assist all outdoor advertisers looking to Go Digital(r), large or small.
Daktronics' state-of-the art Product Reliability Lab uses more than six environmental systems to push its display products to their absolute performance limits. The corrosive effects of coastal precipitation are mimicked through a modern salt and fog chamber. An environmental chamber uses powerful heat lamps, massive cooling fans and an adjustable humidity simulator to imitate a variety of extreme temperature environments, guaranteeing Daktronics digital billboards perform brilliantly in the harshest weather.
For those who appreciate quality, Daktronics IP (Ingress Protection) testing affirms proper defense against water intrusion. Technicians drench entire display enclosures with up to 100 liters (26 gallons) of water per minute from multiple angles with high-pressure water jets, making sure prolonged exposure to moisture cannot and will not interfere with critical components. By combining these innovations in environmental technology and more, Daktronics engineers are provided valuable feedback to implement continued product improvements, ultimately resulting in superior products that are built to perform for years to come.
