Combitech upgrades the Automatic Weather Observation System at Stockholm Arlanda Airport

LFV has contracted Combitech for upgrading the existing Automated Weather Observation System at Sweden’s largest airport, Stockholm Arlanda.

In July 2013 the new AWOS 7 system will be put into operation and this is the latest generation and state-of-the-art AWOS from Combitech.

The new AWOS is named AWOS 7 and is unique with its web-based solution, but can also be operated through a client/server solution. The flexible set-up makes it possible to utilize all of the advantages from both operational, technical and maintenance aspects. This matches in a good way the requirements from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which is a busy CAT 3 airport with three runways, serving 19 million passengers per year.

“AWOS 7 have already been delivered to over 30 airports and more contracts will be signed in the near future. It feels great to be able to offer a state-of-the-art product that delivers clear benefits to our customers”, says Lars Lundin, manager for the ATM systems development at Combitech.
