On 18 October 2019, Brazil successfully installed the Frequentis smartVISION solution at Santa Cruz airbase in order to enhance the way air traffic is monitored and managed. The project carried out by Brazilian Airspace Control Department – DECEA, via the Commission for Implementation of the Brazilian Air Space Control System – CISCEA, was completed in 6 months and is the first of its kind in South America to provide actual remote air traffic control services using digital tower technology.
The system, deployed at Wing 12 in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro (RJ), consists of fixed cameras interconnected with high-definition monitors, with a 360-degree view of the control area.
