 Clarity Visual Systems, Inc., announced an installation of 67-inch Clarity Lion UXP Advanced Performance Liquid Crystal Displays (AP/LCD) at the renovated Verizon Network Operations Center (NOC) in Arlington, Va.
"The displays enable Verizon to introduce a new level of service for domestic and international long distance callers to monitor, troubleshoot and maintain its global telecommunications network," said Mike Calderwood, field operations manager for Verizon. "From a distance of up to 60 feet, the Clarity displays clearly represent our network topology and provide an impressive resolution visible to all of our network technicians," he said.
According to Calderwood, the NOC has sixteen Clarity 67-inch AP/LCD Lion rear-projection units configured in two separate 4x2 walls connected to data center servers where all of the network elements report. On the screens, the displays show a variety of text and graphics that represent network elements, network topology and alarm systems.
The rectangular NOC is a long narrow room, roughly 5,000 square feet, with workstations for 34 staff in three shifts around-the-clock. There is an adjacent training room and "war room" with video conferencing capabilities for emergency operations.

"We also wanted to get away from front screen to rear projection displays because it was very dark in the room and we wanted an environment more conducive to higher ambient light," said Calderwood.
Both Clarity walls are viewable together and are divided by a set of world clocks and four television screens with cable and satellite feeds from CNN and The Weather Channel. The displays can accept input from the local area network and have VCR and DVD capability.
