Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport (remote tower trial)
Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport (remote tower trial) is a remote tower: cameras and sensors at the airport feed controllers who work somewhere else. A Chinese paper to ICAO describes a remote tower optical system installed at Chizhou in September 2021 and operated from the Anhui ATC Bureau about 180 km away; trial operations, with full remote service planned after trial and transition phases.
Caveat. A trial under the CAAC. The paper does not name a vendor.
