The Atom™ Advantage:
Atom™ synthesizes the flight data available to the Tower and provides an advanced level of automation for many of the tedious manual activities that were necessary to support Tower ATC, statistics and billing. The same information and can be immediately shared in real time at the airport to support other departments and passenger arrival/departure screens.
