Com-Net Software, the leading information display system provider for airports, airlines and mass transit in North America, today announced that it won the bid for the installation of a multi-user flight information display system (MUFIDS) at Louisville International Airport. The installation is part of a terminal renovation.
Louisville International Airport serves the primary commercial air transportation requirements of Louisville, much of Kentucky and southern Indiana. The airport is the primary air cargo hub for United Parcel Service (UPS). With 17 passenger airlines, the 123rd Kentucky Air National Guard and commercial general aviation, the airport serves many facets of the Kentuckiana region’s air transportation demands.
Com-Net will install ECLIPSX®, Flight Information Display System (FIDS), which is based on the Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Internet Explorer® and the latest Web display technologies. The system will include the following ECLIPSX products: ECLIPSX-Display, Com-Net’s core FIDS product; ECLIPSX-Design, a screen design tool; ECLIPSX-Monitor for monitoring system health; ECIPSX-Failover for automatic switchover to a backup server if a primary server should fail; and ECLIPSX-2-Web for displaying flight information over the airport’s Web site. The installation will include 26 40-inch NEC LCD 4000 LCD-TFT displays.
“The user interface appears to be user-friendly, which is an important requirement for our airport,” stated Bob Brown, Louisville Regional Airport Authority’s director of engineering. "ECLIPSX is a fully developed system that will vastly improve how flight information is presented to the traveling public at the Louisville International Airport."
“Com-Net is very excited about partnering with the Louisville Regional Airport Authority for this important project,” commented Doug Strasser, Com-Net’s vice president of sales and marketing. "This is a good example of a highly respected airport having done its homework and research in selecting Com-Net and the ECLIPSX family of FIDS products."
The project will be installed in phases, the last of which is to occur in the fourth quarter of 2004. |
