Technology partnership between Isavia and Frequentis explores remote tower in sub-zero temperatures to benefit isolated airfields.

The Icelandic Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), Isavia, and Frequentis formed a technology partnership in 2017 to investigate suitable remote tower camera and casing solutions that would be effective in Icelandic weather conditions. The ongoing partnership is analysing the benefits this solution will have for isolated airports, by enabling ATS to be carried out from a centrally located facility.

In regions where smaller, low traffic volume airfields are at risk of closure, the remote tower concept allows ATC operations to be located at an easily accessible site, reducing the level of onsite staffing required.

Annual ATC awards 2019 recognise Frequentis, Qantas and Smart4aviation for enabling flight efficiency and fuel savings.

The annual IHS Jane’s ATC awards 2019 took place again at World ATM Congress in Madrid to reward companies and projects across six categories for their work over the previous 12 months. Australian airline Qantas developed a flight planning platform jointly with Frequentis, Smart4Aviation and the University of Sydney, to enable efficiency and fuel savings, winning this year’s Technology award.

At World ATM Congress in Madrid, Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) and Frequentis signed an agreement to explore concepts, technologies and architectures to capture and integrate data around aerodromes. The first step is the joint development of a technical demonstrator, marking  a milestone in the creation of next level data-driven communication systems in the tower and airport environment.

DECEA (the Brazilian Airspace Control Department) via CISCEA (the Commission for Implementation of the Brazilian Air Space Control System) has chosen FREQUENTIS to provide a Remote-Control Tower Visualisation System (SVR-TWR) at the Santa Cruz Airfield in Brazil. Frequentis will provide its remote tower solution, smartVision, allowing enhanced situational awareness and improved safety at the aerodrome. The smartVision system will be complete with high resolution 360° panorama view and high-performance Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras which also include an integrated light gun.

Latvijas Gaisa Satiksme (LGS) has been operating Frequentis’ Information Display System since 2014.  With the latest release of smartSIS, LGS air traffic controllers will have faster access to critical information, allowing them to tailor arrival times and manage increasing air traffic volume more effectively.

Riga airport, in the Latvian capital, plans to become a convenient North European airport hub, serving at least 10 million passengers by 2023. To manage the increased traffic volume successfully air traffic controllers require more efficient ways of working.  Frequentis smartSIS acts as the main portal for controllers to access vital operational information, from real-time weather and NOTAM information, to fixed aircraft characteristics, standard operating procedures and letters of agreement.

Frequentis and PANSA present its steps to next generation tower services at World ATM Congress in Madrid

Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) is rolling out the new electronic flight data management solution (EFES) from Frequentis, as the first step towards next generation tower services. EFES will be implemented at all 15 control towers in Poland, marking the first step in a program to integrate and streamline flight data around its airports. Airspace users, airport operators and third parties will also see enhancements from flight plan digitalisation.

At World ATM Congress in Madrid, PANSA and Frequentis will provide a first glimpse of this state-of-the-art solution at stands #526 and #239. And on Tuesday, March 12, 11:00 – 11:30 at PANSA’s stand #239 the two partners will present the concept of data-driven aerodromes and how airspace users, airport operators and third parties can benefit from data aggregation.

Frequentis has successfully installed its vitalsphere network solution for the new Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KL ATCC), marking a major milestone in the project. Frequentis was chosen by Telekom Malaysia (TM) to deliver an ATM-grade radio communication solution, for the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM). The solution is based on VCX-IP and integrates the new centre in Kuala Lumpur and 21 radio sites across the country, paving the way for resilient and safe ATC radio communication.
