Advertising installations at Heathrow Airport receive backing from Snap One brand offerings
Turning Up the Volume at Heathrow's terminal 2:
Swagger, swagger, it's showtime! Heathrow Airport's Terminal 2 sure knows how to make an entrance! Powered by ADI | Snap One's badass brands – WattBox, Araknis, and OvrC – this airport's digital advertising installations are run by a crew that's always ready to rock.
Arcstream Systems, the top-notch integration firm handling this gig, picked these powerhouse solutions to keep things running like a well-oiled machine. Heathrow Express, the client, demanded control over the performance of projectors, digital tracking cameras, and PCs that deliver content at two prime spots within the terminal. And boy, these installations strut their stuff with finesse, staying sharp even under power fluctuations or network glitches.
With Heathrow Express staff on-site while technical support works remotely, ADI | Snap One promises a simple-to-manage, 24/7 operation system. To guard key devices and simplify support, Arcstream set up mirror installations in two key zones across Terminal 2, one landside and one airside. Each setup features a WattBox 800-Series power management unit, an Araknis router and switch, and all are monitored via the OvrC Pro remote management platform.
These Araknis AN-110 routers and AN-110 5 port switches form the core infrastructure, acting as the main connection hub for all devices. Designed for professional installations, Araknis gear efficiently handles data traffic and connects to PCs and projectors.
WattBox geekily plays an essential role in safeguarding and managing power. The 800-Series model offers remote shutdown and reboot functions during outages, while real-time monitoring of outlet-level voltage and current adds muscle to trouble-shooting sessions. All systems go hand-in-hand through the integration of WattBox with the OvrC platform. Using a single login, you can access greater diagnostics and troubleshooting tools like device status checks, firmware updates, network tweaks, or rebooting individual endpoints from the comfort of your couch.
Steve Harper, technical director at Arcstream Systems, broke it down like this: "Getting the network and power tight is essential. We can't afford downtime, and working at an airport often requires permits, so on-site access for maintenance and fixes can be tricky. This setup combines surge protection, scheduling, and remote reboot capabilities, giving engineers eyes on the entire operation from anywhere in the world." Total. Rock. Star. Performance.
