Barco's ISIS main display selected by the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration

Barco signs a frame agreement and receives first orders for ISIS flat panel main displays from Swedish Civil Aviation Administration

ATC MAASTRICHT, 1 February 2005 – Barco has signed a multi-million Euro frame agreement with the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (Luftfartsverket) for the delivery of over 80 ISIS main displays. The 28-inch flat-panel displays will be used by Luftfartsverket to replace the ageing CRT displays in the Eurocat 2000 E systems installed at the Stockholm-Arlanda and Malmö-Sturup control centers. With this new agreement, Barco further strengthens its position as the leading supplier of operational display components in the air traffic management market.

The contract foresees not only the delivery, but also the installation and commissioning of over 80 28-inch ISIS flat-panel displays at the Stockholm-Arlanda and Malmö-Sturup control centers, the two major Air Traffic Control Centers in Sweden. Deliveries under this phase of the agreement will be completed in the course of 2005. Further deliveries are envisaged, but not yet scheduled.

Luftfartsverket (LFV) selected the ISIS display after a competitive tendering process in late 2004. Key to LFV’s decision to select the ISIS was Barco’s ability to support LFV’s demanding delivery requirement. In addition, LFV was very satisfied with the ISIS high quality 2048 x 2048 image, low maintenance costs and ease of integration in the existing Eurocat 2000 E system. These qualities have made ISIS the world’s leading square display for system integrators and air navigation service providers, both in new installations and as a direct replacement for the Sony DDM CRT display.

ISIS is a trademark of Barco
