Boston, Massachusetts has always been a forerunner in implementing new and innovative technologies: the first subway system in North America was developed here, and now also the first outdoor wayfinding sign installation.
The new e-paper sign had been designed to fit inside an existing kiosk, and provide City Hall Plaza visitors and residents with information about local events, beside help them locate nearby landmarks.
GDS team put all its display competence to achieve this unique of its kind success. The sign is designed to be fully outdoor and solar powered, withstanding every weather condition. Moreover, the sign becomes an important landmark of the smart city network. In fact, it is possible to control the display both remotely and in real time, thanks to a broadband antenna installed on the kiosk.
