Centennial Airport chooses SurfPAD and eSQUIDER by INDMEX for Vehicle Tracking and Runway Incursion Warnings

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- INDMEX Aviation, suppliers of the only tablet based Runway Incursion Warning System (RIWS) with integrated surface vehicle tracking for airports, is pleased to announce that its SurfPAD and eSQUIDER systems have been selected by Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colorado after an extensive search for the most advanced and flexible applications available in the market.

The SurfPAD system, developed by INDMEX Aviation, is the only tablet based solution that leverages extensive knowledge of airport ground surveillance technologies, including FAA NextGen solutions and combines these with an FAA compliant Runway Incursion Warning System, into a simple to use, intuitive application that is designed to provide airside vehicle operators with alerts prior to entering the Runway Safety Area, and offers a common operational picture by displaying the position of aircraft and other eSQUIDER users or transponder equipped vehicles.

"We chose the INDMEX Aviation vehicle tracking and runway incursion warning system because it's an affordable, user-friendly option that was easy to integrate into our current operations workflow," said Lorie Hinton, Centennial Airport Assistant Airport Director. "As one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, along with a healthy annual snowfall, the need for real-time data in real-time, particularly when vehicles are operating in the movement area, not only provides an added level of safety, but also improves efficiency. INDMEX's system is well-suited for Centennial Airport, especially for runway snow removal, maintenance, or instances of reduced visibility due to inclement weather."

"INDMEX Aviation staff brings together the unique capabilities of an innovative software development team, experts in airport surveillance technologies and experience in system integration to develop the right size solutions for airports of all sizes," said Carlos Nevarez, CEO of INDMEX Aviation. "By deploying a Runway Incursion Warning System that meets FAA Advisory Circular requirements and a vehicle tracking system that exceeds Eurocontrol accuracy and latency standards, airports can improve safety and efficiency throughout their operations at an affordable price point and with low recurring costs."

SurfPAD and eSQUIDER are the only mobile-based solutions currently available to airports that serve as an FAA compliant RIWS with integrated vehicle tracking capabilities specifically designed for airport operations and supported by commercial off the shelf hardware. Unlike legacy airport vehicle tracking systems that rely on aircraft transponders mounted into a vehicle, are limited to use within the airport movement area, and that require expensive support agreements for their continued operation, INDMEX products allow an airport to quickly and cost effectively deploy a solution that can be used to track vehicles or personnel in real time, is not constrained for use to any area, and provides users with preemptive runway incursion alerts, all in a single platform and at a fraction of the cost required to deploy and support other similar technologies.
