Peerless-AV is showing transit agencies how they can expand digital signage offerings for any environment.
Jack McKeague, general manager and vice president of sales – display division for Peerless-AV, said the Xtreme Display is fully sealed so the unit is fully protected from the environment.
“The beauty of the unit also that for the industry we’re participating in right here is that with break dust, any kind of outdoor wind, sand dirt, nothing can get into this screen, nothing can get out of this screen,” he said.
The Xtreme unit uses LG screen rated to withstand high temperatures and the heating and cooling units are within the 6 inch frame as opposed to external mounts. The Xtreme is rated to withstand temperatures from -40 degrees to 140 degrees.
McKeague said the units all contain tuners within them so they can still run on cabling. It creates powers savings as the most expensive part of the unit is the few milliseconds when it powers up.

I came to Mass Transit in 2013 after spending seven years on the daily newsbeat in southeastern Wisconsin.
Based in Milwaukee, I worked as a daily newspaper reporter with the Waukesha Freeman from 2006-2011, where I covered education, county and state government. I went on to cover courts for Patch.com, where I was the main courts reporter in the Metro Milwaukee cluster of websites.
I’ve won multiple awards during the course of my career and have covered some of the biggest political events in the past decade and have appeared on national programs.
Having covered local government and social issues, I discovered the importance of transit and the impact it can have on communities when implemented, supported and funded.
