OTG Management - Airport Concierge
Intersection designed and built an iPad-based point

of sale platform to help OTG Management extend the
reach of our award-winning restaurants and retail
offerings into the gate terminals at Minneapolis-St. Paul,
LaGuardia, JFK, Orlando, Chicago, and Toronto airports.
The design includes a custom-built iOS application

with a point-of-sale and order management system,
business intelligence, integrated flight status data, and
CRM systems. The custom mobile device management
platform also allowed OTG to deploy and manage 7,000
iPads in airports across North America—the largest
public-use iPad deployment outside of Apple retail
stores.
For travelers, the iPad-based platform allows them to

browse the web and have food and amenities delivered
directly to seats in the gate area. For OTG, the platform
reduced costs and transformed one of the largest pieces
of airport real estate into a major point of sale. Designed
to be a flexible service delivery framework, OTG now
has the ability to provide new offerings and sources of
restaurant and retail revenue.

Digital Out-Of-Home Advertising
For the 2014 holiday season, Intersection’s New York City

MTA digital information kiosks showcased custom-built
transactional ads from Amazon.com to a captive subway
audience, creating the first network of Digital Out-Of-
Home (DOOH) storefronts in the busiest transit system
in the Americas.
The digital kiosks greet commuters with curated

products from Amazon’s Consumer Electronics Holiday
Gift Guide, showcasing select products to 1.2 million
riders per day. Commuters can easily browse the latest
gaming consoles, wearables, headphones, and cameras
on the kiosks and push a selected product to their
phone via SMS, email or scan to complete the purchase—
all while waiting for their train.
This new ‘underground mall’ redefines Out-Of-Home

LinkNYC is a project that has been in

development for more than three years. We
have addressed countless technological
challenges, streamlined a manufactured
product and created a one-of-a-kind user
experience platform that we believe will
transform what people expect in cities
around the globe. We have begun deploying
7,500 Links in New York City, and our
experience conceiving and executing this
product will make us an invaluable partner
to the City of Seattle.
The photos on the following page illustrate the first ever Link unit

Intersection will work collaboratively with the City of Seattle

to create a Coordinated Street Furniture program that

solidifying the City’s status as a global center
for innovation and staying true to our ethos
that big ideas can come from both hallowed
halls and humble origins.
LinkSeattle is future-proof.
The state-of-the-art platform will be an open programmable advertising
interface that is developer friendly providing voice, video, and text
communications. We believe that the publishing platform will engage the
Seattle developer community and accelerate the discovery of new ways to
use the technology and the interface. We envision that by keeping it open,
the use of the LinkSeattle platform will more quickly become widely used and
innovated upon, leading to even more OOH advertising that is responsive,
digital and creative.
Moreover, users will have their choice of communications provider. From

Facetime to WhatsApp, Ooma, and AT&T, and other major communications
apps, we will let communications providers compete, ensuring that costs are
kept competitive and LinkSeattle’s features remain relevant.
We have made our overall design modular in both hardware and software,
and we adhere to common standards, so that we can upgrade hardware
as new advancements are made. Our network equipment has upgradable
fiber optics, and our wireless platform is completely modular. The software
approach allows for upgrades of components to accommodate new features
and functionality. We favor open source platforms to avoid vendor lock-in
and to leverage the vast development community.

LinkSeattle Network

LinkSeattle is context-sensitive.
Our design has a recognizable look for

diverse built environments. The consistent
expression and customer user interface
panel ensure recognizability.
Configuration
After studying various configurations, we opted for a

slim configuration that features large displays on two
sides. Several generations of kiosk development, as
well as user and market research, have proven that our
proposed solution is the best way to deliver a dynamic
and effective user experience while also providing
valuable opportunities for brands to interact with their
audiences. We decided that the interactive engagement
with the Link is really a one-on-one experience that
should have a more private and personal screen. Based
on this understanding, we turned the narrow sides into
a more personal customer interface. The large displays
are designed to offer public service announcements
interspersed with advertising, while a smaller
touchscreen display is embedded in a tablet interface
panel that accommodates all personal communications,
information, and transaction features.

we also considered the needs and interests of other
groups that help shape the fabric of the City. We look
forward to meeting with business improvement districts,
community boards, arts organizations, volunteer
organizations, interest group meet-ups, and other groups.

7. PROP OSAL RESP ONSE APPROACH TO SCOPE OF WORK / STREET FURNITURE
Connecting
At its core, Link is a communication device, easily allowing for voice, video,
and text messages. A cloud and application-based communications platform
will give the flexibility to upgrade with the times and not be tied to a singular
enterprise platform. One of the great benefits of incorporating a robust tablet
interface into the design of the Link is the plethora of additional functionality
and flexiblity it adds.
FREE GIGABIT WI-FI: The fastest public Wi-Fi available provides seamless
experiences above and below ground across Links.
PHONE & VIDEO CALLING: The slightly angled and recessed touchpoint allows
for privacy and comfortable operation during free phone and video calls.
MICROPHONE & SPEAKERS: The Link uses a directional microphone that, due

privacy. A noise canceling TOURISTS
microphone eliminates ambient street noise.
HEADPHONES: We have eliminated the failure-prone handset. The Link allows a

user to connect their headphones for additional privacy, hygiene, and fidelity.
FAST PHONE CHARGING: The Link features two marine grade USB ports
featuring Quick Charge 2.0. While these USB ports are compatible with all
mobile devices, unlike traditional USB charging, they also support the next
generation of phones with 20X the charging speed. Users on next generation
devices can get a 10% charge in under 3 minutes.
Wayfinding
With the LinkSeattle network, we imagine a wayfinding experience that makes

it easy for visitors and natives alike to find their destination. In addition to basic
directional capabilties, the tablet interface could provide sight-seeing routes
and recommendations on nearby points of interest. There is also the potential
to have the same experience through the LinkSeattle app on a personal device.
Visitors could potentially be provided with recommendations for popular
sightseeing and wayfinding apps for their use.
A GLOBAL DESTINATION & A GLOBAL COMMUNITY: With millions of visitors

each year, free gigabit Wi-Fi will be a great attraction, while native language and
multi-modal wayfinding will be a great comfort.
POINTS OF INTEREST: The Link tablet interface could provide those exploring
the City with an easy way not only to get directions but to explore the
neighborhood around them, with information on nearby points of interest and
services.
911 ACCESS: While most Seattle residents are well aware of how to access
City and emergency services when needed, getting this information can be a
challenge. We have included a dedicated 911 interface especially for those at risk
including homeless and mentally challenged individuals.

The City Context
We explored how the LinkSeattle network and the data from

a Link could positively impact the City of Seattle. For this
scenario, we considered how LinkSeattle could uncover urban
design and planning insights, provide greater access to City
services and create a catalyst for greater civic participation.
Public Safety Messaging Internet-of-Things Civic Engagement

A Link could show current storm From City buses and municipal Through an easy-to-use interface

single click. assistance to at-risk individuals
including homeless, mentally
challenged, and special needs.

Public Policy
Through an easy-to-use interface on the Link tablet, Seattle residents

can more readily participate in public policy. For example, citizens could
use a polling app to tell their elected officials what is important to them.
This approach could apply to public polling, participatory budgeting, and
potentially even voting. Two-factor authentication with NFC would also be
possible through a secure login for personal and City services.
CITY SERVICES: Seattleites can use the Link to access services, whether it is
information on social services, local jobs, or pay a parking ticket.
ACCESSIBILITY: The form and height of the Link have been designed to be
easily accesible to all Seattleites. The top of the customer interface screen
is placed at 48" to accommodate wheelchair users. A tactile number keypad,
emergency button, and high-contrast large type labels help the visually
impaired. Braille and audio instruction are also available.
A RESPONSIVE CITY: A small sensor array can gather information about the
temperature, humidity, and other key environmental factors to create an
open data set about the City for researchers, urban planners, and students.
We have seen that, with an open data platform, the public can gain insights
about the city that were never before possible. For example, using public
health data and comparing it to sensor data to understand how asthma rates
correlate to block-by-block particulate levels. Using a polling app, seeing
what top issues are throughout the City, or how construction permits and
real-time street-level construction noise compares. With an open Application
Programming Interface (API) and the ability to push content and applications
to the advertising displays and the tablet touchpoint, we can allow the public
to program the City.
A TOOL FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: By bringing City Hall to neighborhoods

across the City, we see tremendous potential in using the Link as a platform
for civic engagement, especially as a tool for public polling. We see the Links
as providing a powerful way to reach out to Seattleites throughout the various
neighborhoods, providing the City with stronger data and insights into public
opinion. Finally, the Link consumer interfaces will contain features such as
way-finding, City profile interactions, and voting tools which would all benefit
from being extended into a larger app universe, giving citizens and the City
more ways to communicate with each other.
NEXT-GENERATION URBAN DESIGN: Intersection is committed to partnering

with City agencies and local academic institutions to explore the potential
uses of LinkSeattle data around urban design, transportation, and city
planning. Most importantly, we know that we will not think of all the use cases
of how LinkSeattle could be used to make our City better. We believe, however,
that by keeping it open to the researchers, the City, and commercial interests,
we will engage the talents and creativity of the whole City to keep the platform
vibrant and to get the maximum long-term value out of the system.

The Commercial Context
This valuable and affordable advertising platform to national

and local businesses provides a responsive digital approach

world and people around it, maximizing advertising revenue
and providing a better consumer experience. In addition, an

Transmedia Storytelling
Taking advantage of the advances in programmatic

advertising and proximity technology, we will be able to
provide a relevant and harmonized experience between
a mobile device and a Link. The user experience example
shows how the campaigns for a specific feature might
be tailored for an ad buy that spans mobile and OOH
media. During the release of the summer’s blockbuster
superhero movie, we could play a limited-motion ad with
a companion trailer on a nearby users phone. We can
further use this personalization to show the user that
there is a screening nearby and even present them with
the option of buying tickets.
RESPONSIVE DIGITAL OOH: The Link contains a

collection of cutting-edge technology, including
Bluetooth beacons, Wi-Fi and other technology
that provides contextual awareness (geo-fencing,
temperature sensors, etc). The combination of these will
allow LinkSeattle to deliver advertising based on the
audience behaviors sensed in proximity. We’ll be able to

location data points, give powerful behavioral insights
about audiences and ROI measurements and analysis in
real-time.
MUCH MORE THAN A DIGITAL BILLBOARD: LinkSeattle

can provide the opportunity for:
+ More revenue and better local benefit: sold by

+ Driven by rich data insight and intelligence

+ Open to both programmatic and direct
advertising buys
+ Responsive to the world around it
+ Creates a relevant environment, not a noisy

+ Operating within a technological ecosystem
that understands changes in mobile, online, and

generate more revenue for the City

Intersection’s rigorous maintenance and cleaning

program will ensure the useful life of each piece of
advertising on City properties. Intersection’s overriding
commitment to quality assurance can best be
characterized by our adherence to the "Broken Window
Theory":
One broken window, left in a state

of disrepair for any substantial
length of time, instills a sense
of abandonment—a sense that
the powers that be don’t care. So
another window gets broken. People

Intersection uses the best employees for the regular
cleaning of our displays and the installation and

has been that the level of quality demanded by our
organization and expected by our partners can only be
achieved by directly supervising an operations staff
and a trusted subcontractor team. We currently have
thirteen operations employees serving the Seattle
market. This staff is experienced at working on public
properties and they will perform all of the duties
required to ensure that the level and quality of service
required is indeed surpassed.

We also acknowledge that there may be several works

of art, including murals, currently located on existing
