Adacel’s REVAL virtual Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower system delivers a wide spectrum of digital tower operational solutions, from consulting services to system design, development, deployment, and support, for a successful transition to virtual tower operations.
‍

remote or onsite aerodrome operations

REVAL was built on modular, open architecture principles suitable for a variety of aerodrome operational needs, including integration with existing or new air traffic management, communication, navigation, and surveillance systems. REVAL was created to provide all the benefits of a remote tower with a more cost-effective approach.

The tower can be used remote or onsite. When used remote, this virtual ATC tower can operate independently in a one-to-one aerodrome control setting or as part of a virtual tower center.
