  • Frequentis will deliver its advanced automated tower solution for Oslo Airport and up to 14 regional airports
  • The solution will enhance safety and efficiency, supporting future capacity needs

Frequentis has been selected by Avinor AS, the state-owned operator of Norway's airports and air navigation services, to modernise air traffic management at Oslo Airport, Norway's largest, as well as up to 14 regional airports. The New Tower System Oslo (NeTSO) project will introduce state-of-the-art technology to enhance safety and efficiency, while preparing for future growth and ensuring European Common Project One compliance.

Starting at the end of 2024, the programme establishes the foundation for a long-term cooperation on all Norwegian tower installations. With a focus on scalability and efficiency, the solution enables Oslo Airport to prepare for future traffic scenarios and allows airports across Norway to handle future traffic volumes, ensuring cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

It will replace the legacy Advanced Surface Moving Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) and Electronic Flight Strips (EFS) systems by providing air traffic controllers with an integrated solution that combines flight data, air and ground surveillance with a routing function, departure management (DMAN), and safety tools into a seamless, user-friendly, integrated controller working position. Future programme phases will also include remote tower capabilities, ensuring operations continue smoothly during contingency situations, and a potential additional remote third runway control.

"Frequentis stood out with high standards across all key areas, from product quality to delivery and training. Their ability to meet our expectations in critical aspects highlights their dedication to delivering innovative and reliable solutions for Avinor," says Abraham Foss, CEO of Avinor.

"We feel honoured and fully committed to extending our strong long-term partnership with Avinor, which will continue to foster close cooperation and drive innovation to the mutual benefit of both companies," says Norbert Haslacher, CEO Frequentis. "Our solution will help Avinor meet rising capacity demands in a unified and modern approach to tower operations nationwide while maintaining the highest safety standards."

Frequentis and Avinor have built a strong partnership since 2002, with Frequentis equipping Norway's voice communication systems, arrival management (AMAN), aeronautical message handling system (AMHS), as well as tower systems.
