Travelling football fans visiting Vienna for the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament are being entertained by almost 500 square metres of Lighthouse LED screens supplied by local rental partner Weiner Medien Werkzeuge.
The Fan Zone provides a carnival environment where fans of all teams can mix and
enjoy the football on giant LED screens. A total of 11 screens are installed around
the enclosed area in the centre of Vienna, made up of a number of different LED
products.
“We have used R12, R10, R7-ER and R19 depending on the size of the screen,
and the area it is serving.†Said Christian Wymetal, general manager of WMW. “We’ve used
all our stock of R7 on this job.â€
WMW won the contract with the City of
Vienna in a competitive bid with four other companies, and then worked in co-operation with the
consultant who designed the Fan Zone to decide which screens would be best suited to
each location.
The screens will remain in place until the end of the tournament on June 29th 2008.
