LCAMS (Lighting Control and Monitoring System) is an intelligent airfield lighting management platform designed to unify the control and monitoring of solar, hybrid, and conventionally wired airfield lighting assets under a single interface. It is built for non-towered regional airports, international airports, and military airfields where mixed-technology infrastructure is the operational reality.

The system operates over a self-healing 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 mesh RF network with 256-bit AES encryption, providing real-time monitoring, fault detection, and intensity control without additional cabling. For airports with existing wired ALCMS installations, LCAMS integrates over Modbus TCP/IP, enabling incremental upgrade of solar and wireless fixtures without replacing the existing control infrastructure. UTC-synchronised GPS location reporting keeps light-head status mapped to the physical airfield.

Buyers choose LCAMS when they are adding solar runways or helipads to an airport that already has a wired ALCMS, when they want a single monitoring pane for mixed fleets, or when they are planning a phased airfield upgrade over several budget cycles. The modular basestation form factor means a non-towered regional airport can install a basic configuration and scale to a full international airport layout as infrastructure grows.

For GCC airport operators managing simultaneous works across multiple construction projects, real-time fault detection and location reporting reduces the cost of manual inspection patrols on large airfields. The PAL/ARCAL compatibility ensures pilot-activated lighting remains available at non-towered aerodromes through the same system.
