The SmartMini system, developed in response to customers' demands for much-needed space-saving devices, is still able to provide the same functionality as a standard SmartControl system but can be installed under a desk, on a desk or even in a drawer.

The Exeter system, which controls the entire airfield lighting system including CCR's, generators and ancillary equipment, also required a separate maintenance desk in the substation. The desk, a dedicated, self contained control system unit, provided interfacing to 12 CCRs (this includes enough spare for an additional 3 CCRs) in addition to the I/O required for the specified ancillary services whilst also housing all necessary communications equipment.

The unit provides a unidirectional flashing light to indicate crossing points, reducing the possibility of runway incursions by warning pilots or drivers of ground vehicles that they are approaching an active runway. By using the latest LED technologies, APOLLO helps to improve airfield efficiencies by reducing the load on the CCR, reduce the size of the isolation transformer, whilst can be operated from any CCR architecture type allowing the airport to utilise existing equipment. The increased typical life expectancy of over 60,000 hours will significantly reduce life cycle costs.

All APOLLO units are designed to exceed international standards, including an adjustable light beam of 0° to 20° vertically, an alternating flash rate of 45 - 50 per minute and with the ability to operate from either an AGL 6.6 amp circuit or 220/240V supply. The fixture, which includes a frangible column and tether, is manufactured from extruded aluminium and corrosion resistant materials and is finished in aviation yellow for improved visibility and protection.

The exhibition attracted leading figures from the AAI as well as representation from many national airports, many of whom were interested to see how atg airports could support the continuing modernisation of one of the world's fastest growing aviation industries. atg's SmartControl system and CCR's, already operational across the world and recently installed at Raja Sansi International Airport, Amritsar, proved to be a big draw for many visitors, including Mr V.P Agrawal, Chairman of the Airports Authority of India (see below).

The modular nature of SmartControl, coupled with the flexibility of the SmartSwitch and the use of a topological database means that modifications can be carried out easily and safely by airport engineers restricting the requirement for costly software changes.

atg airports also displayed the latest LED lighting solution for airfields, the PEARL medium intensity lighting system. Designed to provide an off-the-shelf, low cost and compact LED lighting solution, the eco friendly PEARL system features impressive LED's offering high efficiency illumination and lasting 60,000 hours with a visual range of up to 1 minute before touchdown. Requiring practically no assembly, this flexible system can be supplied in a re-usable container and can be tailored to individual runways, providing pilots with safe and reliable guidance during approach and landing.
