Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Installs P10 Outdoor LED Digital Billboard for Enhanced Campus Communication

To enhance campus communication and create a modern digital information platform, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) appointed V-Series to install a custom outdoor digital billboard at the Faculty of Engineering. The project included the complete design, supply, and installation of a high-brightness P10 Outdoor LED Display measuring 1,920mm (W) x 2,850mm (H).

The display was mounted on a dedicated single-pillar structure with a total height of 4.5 meters, making it highly visible within the campus area. Designed as a centralized digital information hub, the screen is used to showcase university achievements, share faculty announcements, promote student activities, and deliver important real-time notices to students, staff, and visitors.

Project Insights

Because this P10 digital billboard was constructed entirely within the internal perimeter of the UPM campus compound, it qualified as an internal institutional asset. This meant that no external municipal advertising licenses were required, which naturally made the execution process much easier and straightforward.

Given V-Series’ extensive track record and deep expert experience in delivering custom single-pillar setups, the entire installation was executed with extreme speed and precision. To maximize on-site efficiency, the core steel pylon and mounting pillar structure were fully fabricated back at our factory first. Once the groundwork was ready, the pre-fabricated pillar was transported to the site and erected immediately.

Following the structure setup, the team moved straight into the LED panel installation. Because V-Series is highly specialized in this exact pylon format, the entire assembly was completed using simple, modular scaffolding frames and convenient front-service access, entirely bypassing the need for heavy hydraulic skylifts or complex machinery. Our extensive experience allowed us to smoothly complete the entire project from site delivery to final electronic commissioning—in just 1 week, with zero disruption to the university’s daily academic environment.

The Solutions

• Equipped with a high-performance P10 outdoor pixel pitch, 5,500:1 contrast ratio, and 10,000 nits brightness level, delivering clear and vibrant visuals even under bright outdoor lighting conditions.

• Built with a fully certified IP66-rated waterproof and dustproof enclosure to provide reliable protection against heavy rain, humidity, and urban environmental conditions.

• Designed with a hollow cabinet structure and large air ventilation area for efficient passive heat dissipation, reducing heat buildup without relying on high-maintenance cooling fans.

• Integrated with V-Series’ proprietary vigitSIGN Cloud CMS, enabling management to remotely control, schedule, and monitor promotional content with ease.

The Result

The successful deployment of the P10 outdoor pylon LED billboard has successfully upgraded the Faculty of Engineering’s public space into a highly connected, modern environment. By replacing traditional print banners with a dynamic digital media asset, UPM now possesses an eco-friendly and instantaneous medium to communicate vital academic updates and celebrate faculty successes.

Backed by V-Series’ extensive technical experience and rigorous structural craftsmanship, the completed pylon stands as a durable, low-maintenance landmark that enhances campus engineering aesthetics and serves the university community for years to come.
