Control Tower and TMC Design
We can provide you with the most modern design of control towers and TMA control centers. The operator consoles are designed with ergonomics in mind. Controller room layout and internal lighting are designed with working conditions in mind. All technical equipment installations and equipment rooms are designed with ease of maintenance in mind.

Radio Communication
A reliable radio system is necessary for safe guidance of aircraft in the air and on the ground. For each airport we can offer an optimum solution thanks to our numerous contacts with manufacturers. You can turn to us in questions concerning ATC communications for VHF, UHF, or VDL. We also know how to solve the ground-based radio communications for functions within and outside the airport area, such as short-range radio solutions and rescue radio.

Navigation Aids
Using our experience, we can guarantee that your navigation aids are functional and that they are installed and maintained properly. You get maximum safety through our extensive systems and product knowledge for all the existing navigation aids including ILS, DME, VOR, NDB, TACAN, and GPS-based systems.

Flight Inspection
We offer a unique concept for flight inspection of navigation aids including ILS, DME, VOR, NDB, and PAPI. Effective measuring methods using DGPS make it possible to perform the routine measuring and operation quickly and precisely. We approve in accordance with ICAO Appendix 10, ICAO Doc 8071, and UK CAA FLI 02.

Weather Information Systems
We offer customer-adapted systems solutions for weather information. From Automatic Weather Observation Systems (AWOS) to sensors for temperature, atmospheric humidity and pressure, precipitation, cloud-base, and visibility, as well as wind speed and direction. We focus on flight safety, reliability and a Low Life Cycle Cost.

Telecommunications
Telecommunications must work in a proper way at an airport, irrespective of circumstances and operational conditions. Our consultants can define the best technical solutions in the field of Information and IT security. We are specialists in different technical platforms, networks, and infrastructures.

Security
We offer services and solutions to create a qualified security system. We help you with surveillance of the entire airport, or a specific part of it, with intruder alarms, area guarding, and admission control. We also have systems for control and surveillance of the information at the airport. Our techniques include CCTV and Video Motion Detection.

Electromagnetic Technology
An airport provides a very complex electromagnetic environment. We can define the best technical solutions in the field of electromagnetic environment, antenna systems performance, radiation hazards, and EMC. We are specialists in numerical simulations as well as measurement of complex electromagnetic properties.
