Product guide 01
01What it is and
where it fits.
Outdoor digital totems protect a high-brightness commercial display inside an engineered enclosure with thermal management, weather seals and secure access. They bring video and changing information close to pedestrians.
Ottawa weather creates demanding temperature, moisture and freeze-thaw conditions. The enclosure, glass, cooling or heating, foundation, drainage, electrical service and brightness controls must operate as one system.

Planning the system 02
Specify performance,
not just screen size.
We review the display, structure, electrical work, content platform and installation together so the finished system suits the environment and its audience.
01Environmental control
Heating, cooling and airflow protect the display and electronics across seasonal temperature changes.
02Sunlight readability
High-brightness panels and anti-glare glass improve visibility in exposed locations.
03Foundation and power
A stable base, drainage and protected electrical route are coordinated before installation.
04Security
Laminated or tempered glass, locks and tamper-resistant hardware protect public-facing equipment.

Frequently asked questions 05
Useful answers
before you specify.
Can an outdoor totem run all year in Ottawa?+
Yes, when the complete system is designed and rated for the site conditions and maintained appropriately.
Will the screen be visible in sunlight?+
A suitable high-brightness panel, glass treatment and orientation can provide strong daylight readability.
Can it include a touchscreen?+
Outdoor touch is possible, but the interface, glass, accessibility, gloves, moisture and maintenance should be considered.
Does it require a concrete foundation?+
Many freestanding outdoor units require an engineered base or foundation. Site and structural requirements determine the final detail.
