Vendor
Thales (TopSky-ATC Remote Tower)
French ATM giant; launched a Remote Tower extension of TopSky-ATC in 2016, with no major operational deployment found since.
Overview
Thales extended its TopSky-ATC product line with a Remote Tower offering in 2016, signing partnerships with HungaroControl and Searidge at launch. Market research keeps naming Thales among the dominant remote tower vendors, but the July 2026 research pass found no major standalone operational Thales remote tower deployment (unverified). Its remote tower position today reads as a product-line extension rather than a fielded operational base.
