TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIST FOR THE AVIATION & TRAVEL INDUSTRIES
Innovative FIDS Solutions
With more than ten years of experience in
the design and implementation of innovative
technical solutions, Opentec is at the forefront in
Flight Information Display Systems.
Opentec’s FIDS recognised leadership in airport
information solutions is based on a program of
research and development which supports their
ongoing technology updates.
For effective airport management, NetVision
FIDS offers the technology to deliver fast,
accurate and reliable flight information.

Informing Everyone
NetVision FIDS supports multiple display
devices and input sources to provide
passengers and airport staff with real-time
information. Display types include:
• Arrivals and departures
• Check-in counters
• Gate allocation
• Baggage carousels
Reliability
In today’s challenging airport environment, a
reliable, low risk flight information system is
important both to passengers and for effective
airport management.
Opentec’s FIDS sites are not “one off” or
“orphan” installations. We delivers identical
software product and updates to all of its
customers. This is one of the factors which
facilitates Opentec’s FIDS exceptional reliability.
Opentec’s FIDS operates on a 24 hour, 7 day
non-stop basis. This simply means that our
system does not require a shut down at the
end of the day or staff members to operate the
system at night, allowing a consequent saving in
operational costs.
Scope of Image
Displayed
The FIDS uses powerful
software technologies for
displaying public flight
information. The system
readily handles combinations
of a variety of fonts, colours,
airline logos, languages and
graphics.
Flexible Messaging
Public and staff displays can
be configured to produce free-
format messages. Messages
can be stationary, blinking,
highlighted, crawling lines, or
tagged to specific flights. The
system also has a carousel
function that enables selected
displays to scroll between
multiple pages of information.
Scalable Modular
Architecture & Design
Opentec’s FIDS can be
implemented to suit an
airport of any size. Our
project management team
are specialists in configuring
modules designed for airport
expansion and integration with
other systems. Distributed
processing and differential
updating features enable very
fast transaction response
times with low loads on
system computers and
LANS. Display device numbers can grow to
the thousands with the addition of modular
components but without change to the
architecture or software.
Airport System Integration
Based on open systems architecture, Opentec’s
FIDS can be interfaced to or integrated with
existing airport systems to facilitate optimum
airport management. Using the XML interface
allows easy connection to:
• Resource Allocation Systems
• Airport Operational Database (AODB)
• Airline Computer Systems
• SITA / ARINC
Hardware
The Universal Display Controller (UDC) has been
designed to be extremely reliable with a long
operational life. The UDC is a completely solid-
state unit and has no moving parts to fail.
UDC Features:
• Supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio monitors
• Multi-lingual
• Powerful 32-bit RISC graphics engine
• Cost effective, robust, reliable, surface
mounted, highly integrated technology.
• Supports SVGA, S-Video, composite video
signals, LED and LCD.
WebFIDS
Flight information on the
Internet via the airport ISP can
be available to people away
from the airport - eg: taxi
despatch, hotels, home, office,
resorts, etc.
FIDS Software
The system’s software runs on
Windows NT, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Linux or Unix.
Our technology is based on
an open systems architecture,
permitting full integration with
other sub systems to allow for
future application expansion.
The software runs on open
systems networks using
TCP/IP.
Graphical User
Interface (GUI)
Our system is simple to use.
The Graphical User Interface
has been designed to allow for
the most frequent operations
to be performed via a single
“click” operation.
Reporting Tools
Airports expect their sub-
systems to include tools to
support report generation.
The report software enables
airport staff to generate
the appropriate reports. The FIDS data is
also exported to the Airports SQL database
to facilitate invoicing and other accounting
functions.
Quality Assurance
The FIDS is based on extensively tested and
proven technology which has exceptionally high
reliability. The FIDS hardware is produced in an
ISO 9002 certified facility.
