Isavia win Service Provision Award with Comsoft Solutions ADS-B

The Icelandic Air Navigation Service Provider, Isavia, picked up Janes Airport Review’s annual award in the Service Provision category, for extending coverage to provide contiguous surveillance from stations in Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

Quadrant ADS-B ground stations from Comsoft Solutions have introduced enhanced nationwide surveillance for Iceland, while further ADS-B surveillance for Greenland and the Faroe Islands is supplied by Saab, thus creating a transatlantic surveillance corridor, connecting Europe and North America.

The advanced algorithms precisely calculate aircraft positions and are typically updated much more frequently than conventional radar links. This allows a reduction of aircraft separation from 50-120 NM to 10 NM, resulting in increased safety and efficiency with reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions.

Comsoft Solutions Quadrant ADS-B sensors are a lightweight and cost-efficient alternative to conventional radar surveillance, allowing surveillance infrastructures to be increased without costly investments. All surveillance services have been integrated by Comsoft Solutions SDDS-NG and EUROCONTROL’s ARTAS.

With ADS-B Isavia now provides unified operational surveillance coverage in the Reykjavik Control Area, introducing an improved service, reduced cost and environmental benefits.
