SYDNEY, Nov 11 – Brisbane Airport has partnered with LG Electronics to upgrade its digital infrastructure with approximately 950 commercial display screens.
The project replaces an ageing and fragmented digital signage system with a centralised platform. It allows airport teams to monitor and manage all the displays through LG SuperSign Content Management System (CMS).
The new system covers domestic and international terminals, baggage handling areas and car parks.
Passengers can access real-time flight updates, gate information, directions and important airport announcements through the displays.
One Platform to Manage 950 Screens
Brisbane Airport previously faced challenges managing its ageing display network. Staff had to carry out physical checks to identify faulty screens.
The new LG SuperSign CMS allows the airport’s information technology (IT) and operations teams to monitor the entire network remotely.
This helps staff identify problems faster. It also reduces the need for daily manual inspections.
Anthony Tully-Smith, ICT Applications Manager at Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), said the new monitoring system had made a major difference to his team.
He explained that checking all 950 screens manually every day required significant resources.
The new platform gives staff a central view of the display network and its performance.
Better Flight Information and Passenger Guidance
LG supplied several types of commercial displays to meet the airport’s needs.
These include 43-inch and 49-inch commercial screens, outdoor high-brightness displays and large indoor LED screens.
The airport also installed a 136-inch all-in-one LED display in its international arrivals area.
The screens use LG’s built-in System-on-Chip technology. This allows flight information and other content to run directly on the displays.
As a result, the airport no longer needs separate external media players for these functions.
The upgrade also improves the delivery of flight information display systems (FIDS), gate updates and passenger directions.
Security and Sustainability Remain Priorities
Brisbane Airport operates critical infrastructure. Therefore, security and system reliability were important factors in choosing the new technology.
LG deployed SuperSign CMS on the airport’s own premises. This gives the airport greater control over its digital content and system operations.
LG also introduced device security measures to reduce the risk of unauthorised content appearing on the screens.
Meanwhile, the project supports the airport’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.
LG’s UH series displays carry Carbon Trust footprint-reduction certification. The company also offers an electronic waste recycling programme.
In addition, airport teams can monitor and optimise screen power consumption through the central platform.
Preparing for Future Airport Growth
The digital upgrade forms part of Brisbane Airport’s wider A$5 billion Future BNE transformation programme.
The airport expects passenger numbers to grow as Australia prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Future plans include Terminal 3 expansion and additional LED displays and passenger messaging capabilities.
Brisbane Airport views LG as a long-term technology partner for these developments.
According to the airport’s ICT team, the new displays and management platform have significantly reduced operational costs.
The upgrade also allows staff to focus more on passenger services instead of spending time checking individual screens.
