Saab and ATECH Negocios em Tecnologias agreed to cooperate and offer a sustainable and efficient digital tower solution for the Latin American region. Through that partnership, digital tower solutions will be available to civil and military customers in Latin America. This cooperation is the basis for future joint innovations in support of efficient new digital services, as well as a way to reduce the overall environmental footprint of ATM.
«Association with ATECH in the Latin American market will improve our offer of local products and it will provide a business model that combines the best of both worlds,” says Per Ahl, CEO of Saab Digital Air Traffic Solutions.
“With Saab as a partner, our digital tower offering will be compelling and support a variety of applications, both civil and military, expanding the remote and digital components of our door-to-door solutions,” says Edson Mallaco, CEO of ATECH.
Saab has extensive experience in executing digital tower operations, from analysis and initial implementation of operational, technical and business cases, to training and organizational change management. The world’s first remotely controlled airport was developed and put into operation by Saab and the Swedish Airport and Air Navigation Services on April 21, 2015.
Atech’s innovative concentration of digital solutions, such as remote AFIS for DECEA’s operations in Brazil, coupled with a strong presence and knowledge of the region, and together with Saab’s industry leadership within digital towers, will create a strong combination to support the air traffic control market in the best way.
