Jupiter Systems, the industry leader in display wall technology and an early investor in China, today announced record 2009 sales of its Fusion and PixelNet display wall processors in that country.

“Jupiter Systems’ strong growth can be attributed to many factors,” said Brady O. Bruce, VP of Marketing and Strategic Alliances. “Record Chinese investment in infrastructure, from highways to airports, power generation and distribution, mining, industry and security, have helped fuel the country’s strong economic growth, as have the energy and enterprise of its people. These factors, combined with Jupiter Systems’ own early investment in China, a fully-owned subsidiary with full manufacturing capability, a strong base of Chinese partners, and the industry’s highest quality, most reliable, high performance products, have made Jupiter well positioned for growth.”
“Last year, our Jupiter Systems China subsidiary experienced substantial growth,” said Chuck Kelley, Chairman of Jupiter Systems China. “This year, we expect China to grow dramatically, once again delivering the second largest single county contribution to Jupiter’s global revenues.”
“Jupiter’s high performance display wall processors are central to many of China’s largest installations,” said Guomin Zhang, General Manager of Jupiter Systems China. “Jupiter installations in China include the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau (a wall comprised of 56 individual displays, originally serving as the Security Command Centre for the 2008 Summer Olympics); the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau (a large display wall of 16 x 7 or 112 displays built originally for the 2008 Summer Olympics); the State Department Emergency Command Office (headquarters for all Emergency Command Centers in China); the South-to-North Water Diversion project (China’s ambitious project to divert water from its longest river, the Yangtze, to North China); Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3 (the world’s largest airport building covering more than one million square meters); and many others.
“Customers initially look for the lowest price,” says Zhang. “But whether they are very large or very small concerns, what they really want is a display wall controller they can rely on. In the past two years, we have built demand for Jupiter controllers by demonstrating them to be best-of-breed for reliability, quality and performance. Our credibility in this regard has enabled us to grow beyond our most aggressive projections. Working together with our partners, systems integrators and video display manufacturers, we believe that Jupiter will continue to be the leading supplier in China.”
