With the opening of Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport at the end of April 2026, one of Europe’s most significant infrastructure projects was completed. The terminal not only sets new architectural standards but also establishes a fully digitized environment in the Digital-Out-of-Home (DOOH) sector. Approximately 57 airlines will be gradually integrated into the new terminal, which was designed from the outset as a “DOOH-native” infrastructure. At its heart is a state-of-the-art digital advertising network featuring about 230 screens covering an area of approximately 2,500 square meters. These screens accompany passengers throughout their entire customer journey: from check-in to baggage claim. In collaboration with its partners LG Electronics and M-Cube, the JOB Group plays a central role: protecting this digital infrastructure through innovative fire protection solutions.
Increasing digitalization brings with it significant security and operational demands, particularly in high-traffic
and security-critical environments such as international airports.
The key challenges in the Terminal 3 project were:
The JOB Group addressed these challenges with its VdS-certified E-Bulb technology for early fire detection.
Through close collaboration with LG Electronics, the fire-extinguishing thermal fuse was integrated directly into the display modules. This eliminated the need for additional enclosures or external fire protection systems that would have disrupted the visual appearance. The result is a high-performance, safe, and aesthetically sophisticated DOOH infrastructure that sets new standards for airports worldwide.
The Frankfurt Terminal 3 project impressively demonstrates how digital innovation and intelligent fire protection can be combined. With its E-Bulb technology, the JOB Group has played a decisive role in ensuring that one of Germany’s most modern DOOH networks not only impresses visually but also meets the highest safety requirements. This creates a forward-looking example of modern infrastructure that offers both operators and millions of travelers each year the highest level of safety and performance.
PROJEKTZUSAMMENFASSUNG
The Berlin-based start-up Rechargy uses an innovative business model that involves renting out power banks and setting up “Power Banks To Go” stations. The Rechargy stations are located in public areas and are therefore subject to strict fire safety and security requirements. Thanks to AMFE, the charging and power electronics areas are reliably protected.
EWM GmbH, a leading welding technology supplier, maintains high quality standards backed by advanced testing and safety systems. To prevent operational failures, the company focused on protecting electrical components. In late 2023, intelligent mini fire extinguishers were installed in nine electrical systems in cooperation with Wichmann to suppress incipient fires directly at their source.
