KVM in the control tower ► Improving the controllers’ concentration
The mission-critical applications of the control tower require
air traffic controllers’ absolute and constant concentration.
That’s why it is so important to provide the very best possible
working conditions with no diversions or disturbances. In the
limited space of the tower, the noise and heat generated by
the powerful processors of the computer system creates an
unwanted disturbance. However, thanks to KVM products such
as KVM extenders and KVM matrix switches, the computers
can be moved out of the tower to another location a good di-
stance away.
This solution not only saves space in the tower but reduces
the costs of air conditioning and climate control. In a dedicated
server room, computer maintenance is made easier too, with
no unwanted distractions from maintenance per-
sonnel. KVM extenders transmit computer signals
in real-time over long distances with no loss in qua-
lity. Controllers can set about their tasks without
even realizing they are operating their computers
remotely. With KVM matrix switches, the operati-
on of multiple computers can be decentralized via
multiple consoles.
KVM products are an essential part in towers.
Once the computers had been removed to a
central equipment room, they were connected
to a KVM matrix switch, e.g. ControlCenter-
Digital 288. The extender feature of said matrix
switches established connections to offices,
the test room and finally up to the flight stati-
on with all working positions. All workstations
can access any computers that are connected
through KVM technology.
Even in the crisis room, users can access and
view all computers. The computer signals are
even further extended to the safety-sensitive
flight station. In a separate testing room, em-
ployees inspect any IT equipment thoroughly.
And even from here, technicians with specially
assigned user rights can access and maintain
the computers.
