By reducing capital and operational costs, and by enabling innovative operating models, a remote digital tower from Frequentis can help mid-sized airports maximise their efficiency and compete more effectively against larger organisations with better economies of scale.

A digital tower: 

• replaces out-of-the-window views with high-definition video, so that controller positions can be housed in any type of building anywhere within the airport grounds - or at a remote location.
• can function as a contingency option and/or as a training and simulation suite.
• can be a complete replacement for an obsolete primary tower at significantly lower cost than building a new conventional tower.
• can be operated from a different location, making it easier to recruit and retain staff to serve airports far from centres of population.
• can be grouped with other digital towers and managed from a consolidated operations centre, making it easier to cover short-term staff absences and to manage seasonal peaks and troughs in demand.

Frequentis remote digital tower solutions are fully scalable: airports can start with a small installation for contingency, then expand seamlessly to a multi-site deployment.
