Lighthouse Brings the Joys and Woes of the FIFA World Cup to Fans Across the Globe

Thousands of Football Fans Experience the Games via Lighthouse Screens Located

in Key Venues Around the World

HONG KONG, Aug. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- A worldwide network of Lighthouse LED video screens, stretching from Asia to Europe, served as public viewing galleries throughout the months of June and July 2006 as the FIFA 2006 World Cup football championships gripped the world.

From central locations that ranged from Dubai Airport in the Middle East, Hollywood Plaza in Hong Kong and Casa Azzurri in Italy, football fans unable to purchase tickets were treated to the full action of the games via Lighthouse screens prominently positioned in key venues around the world.

Special installations included deployments in the host country where fans congregated around giant Lighthouse video screens that were erected in public venues such as parks, marketplaces and concert venues in the German cities of Achern, Berlin, Freiburg and Offenburg.

Providing the best in high image quality, the Lighthouse screens offered millions of fans front row seats of the football championships, an experience that was not dissimilar to actually being in the stadium itself.

Commenting on the company's involvement in helping to broadcast the tournament to the public, Lighthouse managing director, Mark Chan stated that he was delighted that the company was able to play a key role in delivering the experience of the FIFA World Cup games to thousands of spectators worldwide in public locations.

"The great thing about Lighthouse's high-tech displays is that they are ideally suited to large spaces that accommodate thousands of people," commented Mr. Chan. "This provides the perfect conditions for creating an atmospheric community experience where people from all walks of life can come together to share in the enjoyment of an event."

More importantly, Mr. Chan also noted that aside from broadcasting the matches, the World Cup experience provides a good example as to how LED display technology can bring together people of different races and cultures.

"Individuals of differing backgrounds and nationalities, who were also supporting different teams, were all congregating en masse around our screens. This created an electric atmosphere that made it a truly special community event for all citizens," he concluded.
