Aerva digital signage technology will drive LED display at key Cincinnati site

April 23, 2013

Aerva Inc.'s AerWave digital signage technology will drive a digital LED display at Cincinnati's Fountain Square, a key downtown location that has undergone a recent $48 million renovation. The sign, 30 feet tall and 42-1/2 feet wide, is shared by Fifth Third Bank and the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp., or 3CDC.

"Fifth Third Bank was a mere 13 years old when the Tyler Davidson Fountain was dedicated in 1871," Fifth Third President and CEO Mike Michael said in a news release. "Today, Fountain Square has become the heart of our city, an epicenter of civic, social and commercial life and the front yard of Fifth Third's headquarters. We're proud to be partnering with 3CDC and Aerva to present a modern, state-of-the-art LED screen and high-definition viewing experience for those who live, work and visit our home town."

John Fox, 3CDC's vice president of events and programming, said Aerva's ability to create real-time interactivity through social media is noteworthy. "Now we believe the new display can fully take advantage of Aerva's capabilities and showcase a world-class public display to our community," he said.

Aerva CEO Sanjay Manandhar added that his company is "pleased to extend our seven-year relationship with 3CDC into the next phase for Fountain Square and appreciate the validation of our technology and the renewal of our software to drive the new display."
