IBS and STR have been selected by Airbus to deliver a StarCaster D-ATIS system

IBS Luftfahrt und Service GmbH (IBS) and STR-SpeechTech Ltd. (STR) have been selected by Airbus to deliver a Global Reporting Format (GRF) compliant StarCaster D-ATIS system. The StarCaster D-ATIS system is scheduled for delivery and installation at Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport (EDHI), Germany in April 2023.

The supplied solution consists of a fully redundant StarCaster D-ATIS system designed for Operational, Technical, Administrative and Maintenance users to provide and manage ATIS operations. StarCaster will be directly interfaced with Airbus’s AWOS system at Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport via TCP/IP to continuously receive the latest weather observations. Users will have access to StarCaster’s feature-rich Human Machine Interface (HMI) via a common web-browser over secured internet connection. Air traffic controllers can create, edit and approve ATIS messages consisting of the current weather and airport operational information that will be broadcast to VHF transmitters in ED-137B compliant VoIP.
