Istanbul-headquartered 72 Isbak, a specialist in traffic management and electronic payment systems, has launched Wait'n Fun, an innovative variable message sign designed for mounting on traffic lights to communicate traffic information, speed limits, weather information, commercials, traffic light countdowns and so on.

Indeed, what can be displayed is infinitely flexible since the device can

display a range of image formats (including JPG, BMP, JPEG, TIF, PNG), video formats (including MPG, MPEG, AVI, WMV, MOV, VOB), flash (SWF), as well as web page formats such as PHP, ASP, HTTP, HTTPS. 

In addition, Wait'n Fun can also display online weathercast (Google API) and online news (RSS). Content management of the LED displays uses Isbak's LDS (LED Display Software) which can control thousands of displays, located at hundreds of intersections.
