"The main criteria for this purchase by the Azerbaijan government were product and service quality," says Provid's Necdet Ercingöz. "The order is being organised in two halves, the first 100 panels were delivered in June this year. These panels have already had their first use as a giant screen in Heyder Aliyev Park, Baku's most popular square."
In the park, highlights of Euro 2008 were shown, with the Turkey versus Germany game attracting a large. Live footage from AzTV's broadcast of the military parade celebrating the day of the National Army Day was also shown on the same screen at the end of June.
"This was shown in the middle of the day," continues Ercingöz. "The weather was extremely hot and the screen had to cope with very bright, direct sunlight. But the quality of the Lighthouse panels was perfect under these extreme conditions and they showed magnificent images."
The second batch of panels was shipped to Azerbaijan in mid-August.
