After a surprise around Africa “cruise” visiting Sri Lanka and Oman and a lengthy “road trip” our latest modular ATC tower has been delivered to the Middle East for installation as a fallback tower at a major new airport.  MATC supplied the ATIS system, and UPS/STS for the project but it will be erected and fitted out with an extensive ATM suite by our local partners before entering service in the near future.

MATC has recently completed a month-long installation of an Air Traffic Control Communications, ADS-B, and Meteorology System into a fixed tower in a Middle Eastern country.  The tower is a brand-new build recently commissioned for the customer and MATC provided a Jotron Communications system including VCS Controller Working Positions for Radio and Telephony control,  VHF and UHF Transceivers and a redundant Ricochet Recorder system.  An ADS-B was supplied by Becker-Aero, and a compact Meteorology System provided by Biral.  UPS power in the VCR and equipment room was supplied by Dale Power, and the VCR Consoles by ThinkingSpace.  The installation was into a bare tower and included all network and control cabling, as well as the RF feeders and Antennas.
