MWE86DC 86in Double-Sided Outdoor Bus Shelter Display

What the MWE86DC is built to do

The Marvel MWE86DC is a freestanding, double-sided outdoor digital signage kiosk with two independent 86-inch LCD panels, one facing each direction. It is intended for bus shelters, transit points, urban walkways and open retail plazas, where one unit can reach passers-by approaching from both sides. The cabinet is designed for public outdoor sites rather than indoor lobbies, so it suits projects that need passenger information and advertising running continuously in the open air.

Display performance that matters in Qatar's daylight

Each panel offers native 4K Ultra-HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels with 10-bit colour depth. The brightness is rated at 3,000 nits per side, measured without glass. The front uses double-laminated, tempered, anti-reflective glass, which combines impact resistance with clearer optics. Where lighting changes through the day, an optional light sensor can adjust brightness automatically to suit the ambient light.

When comparing outdoor screens, ask suppliers whether their brightness figure is measured with or without glass, because the two figures differ.

Construction, servicing and weather protection

The enclosure is made from 304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion. It carries an IP56 rating against dust and water ingress, and the design includes top-and-bottom ventilation for airflow. The A-frame structure has a dual front-access open-door layout. Either side opens from the front, and integrated struts hold the open door while technicians check or replace internal components.

• Operating range from -20 to 50 °C
• Input AC 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz
• Optional 4G/LTE for cellular connections
• MWE OMC cloud for remote status and fault reporting

Where the MWE86DC fits in Qatar

On a busy route in Doha, a transport operator could show passenger information on one face of a shelter and advertising on the other, reaching waiting passengers and passing traffic. In the Industrial Area, a fuel station or car wash could use a roadside unit to show offers to drivers entering the forecourt, with the IP56 cabinet protecting against dust. In a retail plaza in The Pearl or Msheireb, the two faces can address shoppers arriving from each entrance.

Heat is the main planning point. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, and the rated operating range runs to 50 °C, leaving limited margin above that level. Shade, orientation and ventilation clearance should be agreed during a site survey before the location is fixed.

What to plan before you request a quote

Start with a free site survey. It should confirm the ground and anchoring, the power point, cable routing and the orientation of each face relative to the sun and the footpath. The source data does not give dimensions or weight, so request drawings with your quotation before the base is finalised.

• Power: AC 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, covering Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply; confirm the plug for BS 1363 sockets
• Connectivity: optional 4G/LTE; remote monitoring depends on the board configured
• Customisation: enclosure colour, logo, mounting method, brightness and CMS integration can be confirmed per project
• Warranty: the manufacturer lists 1 to 3 years, with exact terms confirmed in your quotation
• Certifications: CE, FCC and RoHS are commonly supported; request the current compliance list

Public bodies can order through purchase orders (LPOs) or government tenders, including Monaqasat. Send your site locations, number of units and required ingress rating to SmartRooms Qatar and request a quote for the MWE86DC.
