(PRWEB) September 19, 2013 -- Flyte Systems announced the Austin Convention Center installed its FlyteBoard real-time airline schedule display to give event attendees accurate flight information for greater travel confidence. FlyteBoard’s high-definition flat screen shows departure and gate information for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Flyte Systems is the leading provider of airport travel information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality industry, digital signage providers, convention centers, and related businesses.
