WE-EF presents a new dimension of digital urban communication. By integrating state-of-the-art display technology into the proven ETC inground luminaires, multifunctional communication points are created for smart city concepts, public spaces, industry and retail. Each luminaire becomes a visual information platform that convincingly combines wayfinding, safety and interactive user experiences.
The Flexible Solution for Modern Wayfinding and Communication
The ETC-DI products combine proven luminaire and building technology with durable, high-quality construction and state-of-the-art display solutions – from LED matrix displays for clearly visible safety messages or dynamic light animations to high resolution LCD displays for flexible content playback. Integrated WiFi, Bluetooth and 4G connectivity enables content to be controlled seamlessly and updated remotely at any time. Intelligent system integration allows multiple users to access individual luminaires or entire installation groups, reducing both investment and maintenance costs. At the same time, operators and visitors benefit from improved wayfinding, creative design options and outdoor spaces enhanced through digital communication. The result: fewer standalone systems, lower costs and maximum functionality for urban and architectural projects that not only impress, but create real added value.
