Remote Tower concept supported by COMSOFT Solutions' surveillance systems

Surveillance-based information is an additional functional and secure layer in the Remote Tower assessment process. With innovative ADS-B and MLAT, surveillance gaps can be reduced, while superior situational awareness improves safety even in low visibility.

With advanced video technology from Frequentis, in combination with the latest ADS-B and MLAT surveillance from Comsoft Solutions, a consortium of regional airports can provide ATS for more than one aerodrome, with a single controller from a remote location.

ADS-B and MLAT surveillance data, provided by Comsoft Solutions’ Quadrant sensors, can be used to control pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras and the generated surveillance data at each airport can be distributed by Comsoft Solutions’ SDDS-NG – a comprehensive solution for distributing, validating and filtering surveillance data.

Comsoft Solutions became a member of the Frequentis Group at the start of 2016, strengthening the companies’ respective positions in the market. Together, Comsoft Solutions and Frequentis can provide a complete turnkey, remote tower solution, including visual sensors, cooperative radio location components, surveillance data distribution and tracking, and controller working positions, combined in a highly reliable communications infrastructure. This offers a state-of-the-art and modern solution, with improved service at a lower cost. The Remote Tower concept will enable ANSPs and airport operators to reduce operational costs and increase revenue.
