Tech Infusion in a Low-Tech Setting: Armor Bank Adopts K-WAV’s ATX dvLED Ribbons
Armor Bank, a well-established community bank in North Central Arkansas, takes pride in offering a hometown atmosphere for its customers. Yet they didn’t want small-town charm to come at the expense of innovation. With that in mind, Armor Bank sought to create a striking “wow” moment for anyone entering one of their Little Rock branches.
​
When Gateway Sight & Sound approached K-WAV with the unique challenge of installing LED ribbons inside one of the branches, we were excited to help bring energy to this respected hometown bank.
Enhancing the Lobby Experience​
Armor Bank reached out to Gateway Sight & Sound regarding one of their Little Rock branch’s need for more visual energy in the lobby. Their goal was dual: to create an attractive focal point and to better communicate offers, interest rates, and other pertinent information. By using dwell time effectively—like when customers wait at the teller—they could convey details that might not surface in routine conversations.
​
Spanning two walls, each ribbon is 28-foot-wide by 1.75-foot tall. The dvLED is powered by a BrightSign media player and managed via Signagelive platform. Content delivery is primarily handled internally by Armor’s team. The result is a sleek, high-impact installation that amazes visitors as soon as they walk in.
The Key Takeaways
​
-
From Dated to Dynamic: Armor Bank’s previous lobby setup lacked technological engagement. Our solution brings adaptability and timing to interior messaging—delivering the right content when the customer is most receptive.
​
-
Seamless Integration: To avoid large structural changes, we custom-engineered the ribbon to fit precisely within the existing space, and K-WAV collaborated closely with Gateway to ensure flawless execution.
​
-
Collaborative Execution: Seamless alignment across Armor Bank, Gateway Sight & Sound, and K-WAV helped meet operational, aesthetic, and technical needs swiftly. The installation took less than two days, thanks to the ease of installation of K-WAV’s ATX line.
​
-
ATX Line Delivers Quality: Throughout the process, the ATX dvLED line proved exceptional—no dead pixels or faulty modules were detected. Designed for retail environments, ATX panels simplify installation and deliver dependable performance. Put simply this dvLED line minimizes risk and downtime for the installer.
​
