The collaboration keeps the landmark’s architecture alive by outfitting existing structures with upgraded displays that seamlessly fit into the 114-year-old building’s iconic design. Twenty-six, 65” Samsung UHD Smart Signage displays in kiosks are distributed across Union Station’s three levels to serve as interactive directories designed and provided by TSItouch.
Further, top tier out-of-home advertising placements are constantly monitored, utilizing the newest SmartLink Vantage remote device management technology to ensure 100% up time.
“Union Station is one of our nation’s iconic landmarks and we are thrilled to be a part of its rich history,” says Mark Quiroz, Vice President, Marketing – Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Display technology gives advertisers a bright canvas and provides a platform to share up to the minute safety information with Union Station’s visitors.”
In the historic main hall, six, state-of-the-art 6’ 3” x 5’ 3” 1.5mm LED displays offer advertising buyers a premier piece of inventory that lives alongside history – giving businesses a bright canvas to share their products with the thousands of people visiting Union Station each day.
“We are grateful for our innovative partnerships with New Tradition and the Consumer Experience Group, which allow us to bring cutting-edge digital signage to the masses,” says Brett Unzicker, Vice President B2B Sales – LEES, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Through our collaboration we are ensuring Union Station commuters receive real-time transportation updates in an impressively dynamic fashion.”
The partnership, which began in 2020 with a goal to bring modern technology to an iconic landmark, delivers more than stunning displays. Together with the Consumer Experience Group, Samsung helped usher in a complete refresh of Union Station’s technical infrastructure from installation to the official handoff to New Tradition.
