Product guide 01
01What it is and
where it fits.
An outdoor LED message centre gives an organization a reusable communication channel instead of a fixed printed message. It can be integrated into a monument, pylon or architectural sign and scheduled for different audiences throughout the day.
Ottawa installations must balance viewing distance, traffic speed, brightness, pixel pitch, winter temperatures, enclosure protection and local sign regulations. Signartiv coordinates the display, supporting structure, electrical requirements, connectivity and content workflow as one project.

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.
01Viewing distance
Pixel pitch, character size and screen dimensions are selected around the closest useful viewing position and traffic speed.
02Outdoor performance
Brightness, weather protection, ventilation and operating temperature must suit year-round Ottawa conditions.
03Content control
Cloud or local software can schedule announcements, promotions and emergency information from an authorized device.
04Site integration
Foundations, sign structure, electrical service, data access and municipal approvals are reviewed before production.

Frequently asked questions 05
Useful answers
before you specify.
Can an LED message centre operate through an Ottawa winter?+
Yes, when the display, enclosure and electrical components are specified for the expected temperature range, moisture and freeze-thaw exposure.
How far away can the message be read?+
Readability depends on screen size, pixel pitch, letter height, contrast, traffic speed and content duration. We assess these together during planning.
Can staff update messages remotely?+
Most systems support scheduled remote content management through a secure software platform, subject to the selected controller and network connection.
Will the sign require a permit?+
A permanent outdoor digital sign may require municipal and property approvals. We review the proposed location and current requirements before fabrication.
