As in the single remote tower scenario, Aerosense multi remote tower solutions are enabled by digital technology deployed at airports and linked over ATM-grade networks to an ATC centre. High-resolution cameras – typically with vision enhancements such as night vision and high dynamic range – deployed in two or more airports give controllers exceptional visibility of ground and air traffic movements. 

Typically targeted at groups of airports with lower traffic volumes or with high seasonal variability in traffic, Aerosense multi remote tower set-ups enable a single controller to oversee up to three airports simultaneously. The potential efficiency gains are clear: rather than under-employing three controllers, organisations can reduce staff costs while simultaneously boosting job satisfaction - and reduces the risk of controllers in low-traffic locations becoming deskilled over time. 

The multi remote tower scenario unlocks operational and human resource benefits. For example, the ease of switching workload between working positions simplifies the change-over from one shift to another, and helps supervisors to balance workload across controllers at peak times. Additionally, advanced planning tools helps supervisors to understand the likely total future workload, and schedule the appropriate staff resources over time. 

The multi remote tower scenario extends the benefits of remote towers to multiple sites – for example, to enable a single ATC centre to manage traffic for all airports in a region, offering capital expenditure savings of up to 80%, and cutting ongoing operational costs by up to 18%.
