Key Points
- Samsung The Wall spans 19.35 metres at Malaysia's Iskandar Puteri command centre
- NASCAR Remote Race Control uses over 200 camera angles for officiating decisions
- Modular LED architecture enables repairs without display shutdown
Samsung Electronics has installed its large-format LED display system, The Wall, in control rooms spanning urban management and professional motorsport, signalling growing adoption of modular display technology in mission-critical environments where operators must process large volumes of visual data simultaneously.
The deployments include Malaysia’s Iskandar Puteri Command and Control Centre (IPCCC), which monitors city operations for the Johor-based municipal council, and NASCAR’s Remote Race Control facility in North Carolina, United States, where officials oversee racing events using more than 200 camera feeds.
The installations shows a broader shift in control room design, where traditional banks of individual monitors are being replaced by unified large-scale displays. For Indian smart city initiatives and command centres under development across the country, the technology offers a reference point for centralised monitoring infrastructure.
Display specifications
The Wall uses a chip-on-board (COB) architecture, a manufacturing method where LED chips are mounted directly onto a circuit board rather than packaged individually, which allows for higher pixel density and smaller module sizes. Samsung claims the display’s LED components have a lifespan of up to 150,000 hours of continuous operation.
The system incorporates redundant power and signal pathways, meaning backup circuits activate automatically if the primary connection fails. This design allows the display to remain operational during component replacement, a feature relevant for facilities that cannot tolerate monitoring gaps.
Security features include AES-128 encryption, a symmetric-key algorithm approved by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for data transmitted between the system’s processing unit and display cabinets. Samsung’s Knox security platform provides additional protection for transmitted content.
Malaysian deployment
At IPCCC, Samsung installed what the company describes as Malaysia’s longest The Wall configuration, spanning 19.35 metres. The curved display serves as the central visual interface for monitoring traffic, public safety feeds and environmental data across Iskandar Puteri city.
Farah Izzati Binti Muhamad Fuad, director of the Smart City Unit at IPCCC, said the installation’s curved design allowed the command centre to maintain an efficient operational layout while maximising available space. “The ultra-wide screen enables us to monitor multiple smart safety systems, improving coordination and allowing our team to respond more quickly to incidents,” she said.
By the numbers
Key figures from this story- 19.35 metres
- Length of The Wall installation at Malaysia IPCCC
- 200+
- Camera angles available at NASCAR Remote Race Control
- 150,000 hours
- Claimed LED lifespan for continuous operation
The deployment supports cross-agency coordination during urban incidents. When a water main ruptures or a traffic accident occurs, emergency responders, traffic management and police units can view the same information simultaneously rather than relying on separate monitoring systems.
NASCAR integration
NASCAR, the leading stock car racing organisation in the United States, built its Remote Race Control centre around a 9.75-metre by 2.74-metre installation of The Wall. The facility, located at NASCAR’s production centre in Concord,North Carolina, supplements track-side officials with additional monitoring and replay capabilities.
The display provides up to 24 officials with a shared high-resolution view of race incidents. At speeds exceeding 290 kilometres per hour with up to 40 cars racing in close proximity, officiating decisions often require frame-by-frame review of multiple camera angles.
The system uses what Samsung calls a Micro AI Processor, which analyses live footage to reduce visual noise and motion blur. This processing allows dynamic camera feeds to be displayed in high definition, supporting faster incident assessment.
Scott Miller, competition strategist at NASCAR, compared the shared display to having 20 monitors visible simultaneously rather than the two or three available at individual workstations. The Remote Race Control centre, now in its second season of operation following its 2025 launch, enables officials to view and share feeds collaboratively rather than working from isolated stations.
Steve Stum, NASCAR vice president of operations and technical production, said at the facility’s launch that the system would provide visibility through more than 200 camera angles and multiple data streams from every car, with potential to enable faster and more accurate competition decisions.
The control room market for large-format displays continues to expand as organisations move beyond traditional monitoring towards integrated command centres. For Indian enterprises and government bodies developing smart city infrastructure, surveillance networks and integrated operations centres, the technology demonstrates how unified visual interfaces can support coordinated decision-making across distributed teams and agencies.
Your Questions, Answered
What is Samsung The Wall display system?
The Wall is Samsung's large-format modular LED display using chip-on-board architecture. Individual modules can be combined to create screens of virtually any size, with redundant power systems enabling continuous 24/7 operation in control room environments.
How is The Wall being used in smart city applications?
At Malaysia's Iskandar Puteri Command and Control Centre, a 19.35-metre installation displays traffic, public safety and environmental monitoring data on a single unified screen, enabling cross-agency coordination during urban incidents.
What makes The Wall suitable for mission-critical control rooms?
The display incorporates redundant power and signal systems, AES-128 encryption for data transmission, and modular architecture allowing component replacement without shutting down the display, supporting uninterrupted monitoring operations.
How does NASCAR use The Wall for race control?
NASCAR's Remote Race Control centre uses a 9.75-metre installation to display over 200 camera angles and car data streams, enabling up to 24 officials to collaboratively review split-second racing incidents.
