We have over 20 years domain knowledge and experience in providing airports with automation control and communication systems.
We have extensive knowledge and experience of heavy rail, metro, track transit and tram systems, predominantly within stations, control rooms, depot's and also trackside.
We provide control and management solutions for grid scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), covering design, engineering, system integration and commissioning of advanced control and monitoring platforms.
We believe that the typical Vertiport business case can not support on site services often found at airports, instead they will need to rely on remote control and monitoring of their systems from a centralised operations room that supervises multiple Vertiports.
Our experience of providing intelligent building and large airport campus systems has allowed us to create smart campus solutions that can scale up to become smart city solutions.
We provide control systems for transport infrastructure and industrial automation facilities. We select and configure commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software products that control and monitor the flow of everything from people, packages and vehicles to electricity, water and air.
We provide communication networks that link centralised control systems to mobile and fixed assets. Our systems provide secure and reliable transmission of voice and data over any distance. We also provide specialist radio communication systems.
