Advanced automated tower

Intelligently connected

Frequentis drives ongoing change in tower operations. With flexible support for single to multi-screen operations, we enable the entire air traffic control tower to be operated intuitively, giving a clear view on all ground and airspace operations leading up to full UTM integration.

All information, from flight data and weather surveillance to airfield lighting all the way to unified communications, is seamlessly integrated into a single operational display that enables maximum awareness and efficiency for the controller.

All data is connected and intelligently delivered at the precise moment the controller needs it. Advanced safety net capabilities continuously track operations and send automated alarms in the event of safety-relevant problems.

Frequentis advanced tower solutions are designed for maximum safety. The high-definition camera systems utilised by Frequentis smartVision provide an enhanced surveillance option that can automatically recognize runway intrusion or debris.

The evolution of the technology allows for further intelligent air traffic controller automation support, including the autonomous handling of UTM clearance requests or speech-based recognition of pilot communications for automated routing and enhanced safety nets.

Products & Solutions

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.

A-SMGCS

The Frequentis A-SMGCS (advanced surface movement guidance and control system) provides tailored services covering surveillance, safety, control, planning, routing and guidance while taking into account local procedures and infrastructure constraints. Airports and ANSPs benefit from the unique and comprehensive digital tower portfolio where A-SMGCS combines best in class products to deliver a seamlessly integrated solution.

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.

X10 - Future of voice communications

X10 is the next-generation voice communication system, engineered for the digital airspace. Modular, scalable, and cloud-native, X10 seamlessly supports traditional, virtual, and future operational models, including remote towers and sectorless flight. It is designed to evolve with your needs.

Departure Manager (DMAN)

The Frequentis Departure Manager solution supports consistent optimised planning of outbound airport traffic, in turn driving optimised target times at the runway and the stands. Its key objectives are the efficient management of airport departure traffic, to ensure maximum utilisation of the available runway capacity, and the appropriate management of additional constraints such as Minimum Departure Intervals (MDIs) and Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) requirements.

Integrated Arrival Departure Manager (IAD)

It can be difficult to optimise runway usage at high-demand, capacity-constrained airports, especially in the case of mixed-mode operations at airports that have just one runway for both arrivals and departures. The Frequentis Integrated Arrival Departure Manager (IAD) solution addresses the challenge of balancing arrivals and departures for maximised airport performance, for example by optimising the efficiency of integrating departures into the arrival stream.
