FAA Obstruction Light Monitoring & Control

DigitaLogic provides Smart FAA obstruction light and marine lantern monitoring and control.

We design, install, and host (if requested) cutting-edge FAA obstruction lighting and marine lantern control systems.

Our aircraft detection lighting systems and marine obstruction lighting systems integrate with existing lighting and control mechanisms to ensure all your systems comply with FCC/ICAO and FAA standards for monitoring and safety.

We provide full system solutions

Our Comprehensive FAA Lighting & Marine Lantern Solutions Include:

Consolidation – All lights can be consolidated onto a single open platform capable of monitoring light health, power health (solar power supply, AC power, battery health, temperature, fans, etc.) and telecommunications.
Reporting – Analytics with the ability to send alarms to specified personnel, including alarms via email or text.
Cyber Security – Compliance with NERC-CIP security requirements and the flexibility to support changes in security requirements over time. ESP (Electronic Security Perimeter) and EAP (Electronic Access Point).
Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) – EFS pairs Obstruction Lights with Aircraft Detection Radar, enabling a reduction in light pollution in response to the Dark Sky initiative and customer demand. This solution is well suited for projects where the lights are spread over a wide geographical area with fiber or wireless communications. The EFS delivers light control when aircraft approach or leave the vicinity of the structures, a failsafe mechanism that would cause the lights to stay on if the radar or connectivity fail, continuous recording of operational data (aircraft detections, lighting activation events, and system information), and other features.
Utility Standard – We welcome the opportunity to provide the standard FAA lighting solution to be applied to multiple sites within your portfolio.

Scalability – The ability to start with a few sites and expand to many sites over time using different communications mediums (trunk voice, fiber, cellular, 900MHz, etc.) and/or protocols (DNP, Modbus, etc.). Ability to accommodate any device from any manufacturer.
Secure Engineering Access to SCADA Screens – The ability for authorized Engineering, Management and or Field Personnel to log in on their computers and securely view SCADA screens (view only, no controls), navigate between screens, and to write SQL reports for data analysis.
Network Integration – Telecommunications across various networks, including 3G and 4G cellular, fiber and 900 spread spectrum (900SS). Ability to reduce recurring cellular costs.
BES Upgrade Capability – The platform has the capability to comply with BES (Bulk Electric System) requirements when installed, or to be upgraded to compliance at a later date.
Secure System Hosting – DigitaLogic provides ongoing dedicated computer resources (networks, servers, storage, applications, and services), while keeping the system up to date regarding Internet security software updates, management of security software rules and white lists, firmware updates, system enhancements, and upgrades. We provide monitoring, alarms, and troubleshooting, as required for FAA Obstruction Lights, Marine Lantern Systems, Building & Campus Automation, Utility Operations.

IGIN-EFS

Our FAA Lighting Solution (IGIN-EFS) provides the central technological connectivity platform that enables each utility and vendor organization (project managers, construction crews, fiber installers, radar providers , solar power vendor, UPS enclosures, utility IT group, utility system management group, etc. to follow their independent schedules asynchronously without worrying about the end-to-end connectivity.

Our Lighting, Monitor and Control Solution (EFS) provides the following:

Cybersecurity – The system has 256 bit encryption, time authentication, signature authentication, pass-wording and other security features.
Reliability – Fail-Safe applications to detect communication failure for unsolicited connectivity and to switch the lights on until end-to-end communications are re-established and aircraft leave the area. The Failsafe application asynchronously accommodates different communication environments (TCP/IP, Serial, Fiber, Wireless) and is able to automatically recover once end-to-end connectivity is re-established.
Never Become Obsolete – The ability to keep up with changing technology and upgrade the system.
Manageable Platform – Single platform supporting all protocols, communication and connectivity options (Cellular, Wireless-Spread Spectrum, Fiber, Trunk Voice, etc.)

Communication Diagnostics – The diagnostics include detailed logging at the front end and remote site, reporting communication events, reliability statistics, health of power supply and many other parameters on a real-time basis. This information is provided in order to simplify trouble-shooting and maintaining a reliable real-time wireless/cellular system on a proactive basis.
Multiple Control Points – Broadcast control to multiple devices (e.g. On/off to group of FAA Tower Warning Lights, Timesync, Dormant, Restart, Unsolicited AI/DI configuration).
Interoperability – Ability to communicate with any device from manufacturers of any FAA lights (e.g. TWR Lighting, Flash Technology, ITL, Unimar), Marine Lanterns and the solar power MPPTs (Red Lion via Modbus).
