InterSystems Installs RapidFIDS
in Singapore

Changi, Singapore (April 2008) - InterSystems is pleased to announce the installation of our RapidFIDS system for the new Terminal 3 project at Singapore Changi International Airport . The avant-garde Terminal 3 building is designed to handle over 22 Million people per year and InterSystems’ signature software is the airport’s solution of choice.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has commissioned the S$1.75 Billion terminal expansion project in an airport where customer service is of primary concern. Changi International Airport has won over 280 awards during the last 20 years for outstanding service excellence. It is no surprise they entrusted InterSystems to provide their mission critical Flight Information Display Solution to guide millions of passengers and guests through the expansive new terminal.
InterSystems’ RapidFIDS controls over 700 specially designed LCD screens throughout the new Terminal, providing flight and check-in information in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean automatically, depending on the destination. Each display has a built-in Linux-based PC controller that runs InterSystems’ VisionClient software. VisionClient provides advanced transition effects and multimedia capabilities that highlight key information and efficiently manage available display space.

The Airport has also chosen RapidADS, which displays text and graphic advertising on a section of any FIDS screen or the whole screen when the FIDS display is inactive. RapidADS cycles through scheduled ads and is activated upon pre-defined events. This maximises the revenue return potential of an often underutilised resource.
