REAL TIME BUS INFORMATION
VIX Display Screens
The Vix Home display is an interactive, energy efficient display with a number of key benefits for you. It is designed to support sustainable developments and the promotion of a greener environment and you are one of the very first homeowners to enjoy real-time public transport information on a dedicated display in your home. Delivered in partnership with Arnold White Estates and Central Bedfordshire Council, the energy efficient home display will be installed in all new homes on this development.
If you have any queries about the displays please email tpc@slb.uk.com or to help you get started click here for your Quick Start Guide and User Guide
This display runs off minimal electricity and when not being used goies into ‘sleep mode’ so you don’t need to worry about this costing a lot of money to run. Over the course on one year this is likely to add just £5 to your overall electricity bill and the benefits far outweigh this.
