TowerX

Smarter operations

TowerX is Frequentis’ integrated tower automation product, designed to simplify complexity and support smarter, more efficient air traffic control. By unifying critical tower functions – routing, guidance, surveillance, flight data, and visualisation – TowerX delivers a seamless, modular system tailored to the real-world needs of controllers. 


 

 

Built on a service-oriented architecture, TowerX ensures a consistent user experience, harmonised interfaces, and a shared lifecycle across all components. This enables faster integration, easier updates, and greater scalability, from conventional towers to advanced digital tower environments. TowerX brings together the proven capabilities of four established Frequentis products – smartSTRIPS, smartTOOLS, smartVISION, and TowerPad – now operating as fully integrated modules within a single platform. The result is a unified, future-proof solution that empowers controllers and supports the evolution of tower operations.

Modules

smartTOOLS

smartTOOLS, now a module of the Frequentis TowerX product, provides an integrated information and control system supporting tower and runway operations, as well as weather and support services. Deployed in more than 36 countries, smartTOOLS can be tailored to any environment, from regional airports to high-capacity towers. By enabling higher levels of automation and consolidating essential operational information, smartTOOLS helps increase efficiency and safety while reducing controller workload and operational costs.

smartSTRIPS

Highly configurable in both look-and-feel and operational workflows, smartSTRIPS adapts to local procedures and operational concepts, ensuring seamless integration into any tower environment. By replacing paper strips with a modern, flexible digital system, smartSTRIPS helps increase efficiency, reduce workload, and support safer, more transparent operations.

smartVISION

To meet the needs of towers of all sizes, from regional airports to high-capacity hubs, smartVISION supports both high dynamic range panoramic cameras for consistent visibility under all light and weather conditions and ATC-grade pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with ICAO-compliant light-gun functionality. Developed in close cooperation with air traffic controllers, smartVISION meets the highest industry standards and integrates seamlessly into the unified TowerX architecture.

TowerPad

TowerPad unifies multiple tower applications into a single, intuitive display, ensuring controllers have exactly the information they need, when they need it. By automating routine and low-value tasks, TowerPad enables controllers to focus on operational decision-making. Its modern touchscreen interface replaces the traditional mix of disparate HMIs with a clean, user-centric design that aligns fully with the integrated controller working position of TowerX.

MosaiX

The Frequentis MosaiX digital platform helps organisations in safety-critical industries break down operational silos, integrate voice and data apps, and embed cyber security. By enabling integrated controller operations, MosaiX empowers organisations to improve service levels without adding headcount.

iCWP
Compliance
MosaiX
Scalability

The iCWP is the operational heart of TowerX, a single, adaptive interface that brings flight data, surveillance, video-based visualisation, routing, guidance, safety nets, MET/ATIS and support information together in one harmonised HMI. Designed in collaboration with controllers and based on a dedicated UX style guide, the iCWP offers intuitive interaction, flexible layout options, and operational guidance that adapts to both small regional towers and large hub environments.

TowerX supports regulators and operators by embedding compliance into the product from the start. With an evergreen lifecycle model, TowerX receives regular updates that keep systems secure, current, and aligned with new standards, while reducing certification effort. To make frequent updates feasible, TowerX provides automated testing capabilities through the Frequentis CATS platform, enabling fast, efficient, and repeatable regression tests. Customers can even run CATS on-site to validate new releases and patches, significantly reducing upgrade overhead.

TowerX is powered by MosaiX, the Frequentis service-oriented digital platform that provides a unified and secure foundation for all modules. Through MosaiX, technical teams can perform monitoring, configuration, updates, logging, and identity management from a single interface. The platform includes common services such as authentication, role management, logging, and health monitoring, all aligned with ATM security and assurance standards. MosaiX is cloud-ready, supports containerised deployments, and offers open data exchange interfaces e.g. SWIM, enabling seamless integration with third-party and legacy systems.

TowerX scales effortlessly across all operational environments, — from compact regional towers to high-capacity airports, contingency centres, and fully digital/remote tower installations. Its modular architecture allows customers to mix and match capabilities such as flight data management, routing and guidance, video augmentation, safety nets, and advanced surveillance. Operators can start small and expand later without losing earlier investments. TowerX has already been deployed in environments ranging from regional airports to large hubs, demonstrating its ability to adapt to varied layouts, traffic volumes, and operational concepts. Whether used on a small 3-screen setup or a large-scale 4K video wall, TowerX delivers consistent performance and a harmonised operational experience.
