How is S4GA Control different?
What is the difference between traditional AGL control systems and S4GA’s solution?
In traditional ALCMS, an ATC Tower controls airfield lighting via a wired communication network. In simple words, via cables. And, whenever it is required to replace AGL control system, few critical problems appear.
Too expensive. Airport is acquiring a new wired runway lighting from manufacturer X. However, a control system from this manufacturer costs too much.
Integration of wired and solar AGL systems. The airport wants to install solar-powered illumination on runway. In the meantime, they have taxiway lights and taxiway signs powered by CCR. They are happy with those elements and they are not willing to exchange it. In this case, Customer wants to have entire airfield lighting system (solar runway + wired taxiways) controlled by S4GA ALCMS.
Unexpected extra costs. The Customer only wants to upgrade their AGL Control System and nothing else. They have working CCRs but old control system and they want to upgrade it. Usually, if they contact their current supplier, they would be required to replace everything – including CCRs. Which is expensive and unnecessary.
Why is S4GA ALCMS the best choice for Airport?
S4GA ALCMS is a wireless control system. It means that ATC controls airfield lighting not via cables but via a wireless remote communication network. Such a solution allows upgrading AGL control system without replacing any additional airfield lighting equipment (such as CCRs). Moreover, S4GA ALCMS is suitable for and easy to integrate with any non-S4GA runway lighting made by other manufacturers.
