Sierra Wireless announced that Unimar has selected Sierra Wireless’ device-to-cloud solution, including AirLink® RV50 industrial LTE gateways and SIMs, configured and managed over the air using the AirVantage® IoT Platform, to connect and manage critical lighting and control systems along flight paths. To prevent aircraft collisions, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that all towers over 200 feet be equipped with obstruction lighting and control systems and for the infrastructure owner to file a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to alert the FAA of the potential hazard when an obstruction light fails. Failing to repair a defective tower light immediately could place passengers and residents in danger. Unimar’s managed IoT solution collects data from controlled lighting devices on towers and takes action by logging the data, updating specified individuals and sending a NOTAM to the FAA to re-route air traffic in the case of a lighting failure.
