MSI MS-C926 for Airport Flight Information Display System (FIDS) Application Scenario

MSI MS-C926

MSI MS-C926 enables reliable, real-time airport FIDS operations with a compact, fanless edge computing solution designed for continuous multi-display performance.

Application Scenario

In modern airports, Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) are deployed across check-in areas, security checkpoints, boarding gates, and baggage claim zones. These systems provide passengers with real-time information such as flight schedules, gate assignments, boarding status, delays, and announcements.

Given the public, mission-critical nature of airport operations, FIDS platforms must ensure 24/7 reliability, stable multi-display output, compact installation, and centralized management.

MSI MS-C926, an ultra-slim, fanless industrial box PC, is deployed as the edge display controller powering airport FIDS terminals.

System Architecture

  • Backend Systems: Airport AODB / Flight Management Systems
  • Network Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet / Optional Wi-Fi
  • Display Devices: LCD / LED flight information displays
  • Edge Controller: MSI MS-C926
