Digital sensor network to monitor air traffic at vertiports
An entirely digital sensor network, including a radar sensor, will in future be able to closely monitor air traffic at so-called 'vertiports' (landing sites for drones and air taxis). [ + ]
ARCIA update: LMR is not dead yet
Be it mining, rail, public safety, transport or utilities, everyone is embracing new technology that makes sense, and ARCIA is actively involved in promoting both LMR and broadband technologies. [ + ]
