Torch This is the second time Daktronics has supplied digital billboards to JCDecaux in the past year. JCDecaux purchased two digital displays in late 2007, which were installed into a structure uniquely designed in the shape of the Olympic torch. The structure, known as the “ Torch," quickly became a landmark in the United Kingdom.
According to Lawrence Haines, the managing director of JCDecaux's large format division, the successful Torch installation was a big reason why JCDecaux chose Daktronics as their supplier for this project. "With the installation of the Torch and its great success in London," said Haines "we have the confidence in Daktronics to deliver the best quality products as we continue our expansion in the digital billboard market."
In addition to designing and manufacturing the digital billboards, Daktronics will provide JCDecaux with full-service operation of the billboards through Daktronics Network Operations Center. Daktronics Network Operations Center offers a comprehensive solution including network programming, monitoring and display control.
