TNT Ships Holovision From Turkey
The world's latest and most powerful visual display system - the Holovision Smart Screen - is on its way to Dubai from Turkey, for a starring appearance at a Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) community event.
Holovision is being shipped by TNT Express, the world's leading B2B express delivery company, through its Special Services business. The state-of-the-art screen will be a video wall for the project's main television studio at Deira City Centre shopping mall.
"TNT's Special Services department moves large, heavy or just unusual goods, with no size or weight restrictions, anywhere in the world," said Bryan Moulds, UAE Country General Manager, TNT Express.
"This specialised part of our business provides a range of flexible solutions to meet any requirement tailor-made to the specific needs of our customers.
"We will move the Holovision Smart Screen by air freight and our dedicated Special Services team will ensure the product is delivered safely, securely and on-time."
HCT students will broadcast live educational programmes from the studio on Channel 333, a dedicated E-VISION cable television channel, to 500,000 viewers across the UAE.
"There will be informative breakfast shows, talk shows, news reports and other exciting interactive programmes every day," said Dr.Bill Vega, Director, Dubai Men's College.
"This partnership with TNT helps our students develop activities for this project, by providing them with training, equipment and logistics support."
Over 250 HCT students will participate in the week long event, spread across six major shopping malls throughout the emirate - Al Ghurair City, Bur Juman, Deira City Centre, Mercato Mall, Oasis Centre and Wafi City.
