Solar Portable Airfield Lighting System
AV-SOLAR-PALS
Avlite Systems’ Solar Portable Airfield Lighting System (Solar PALS) is a rugged, fully transportable, autonomous lighting system for
easy, rapid deployment supporting temporary or long term operations for both civil and defense airfields.
Once deployed, the lighting system can be controlled via a 2.4 GHz encrypted mesh network capable of being operated from the tower, ground, or approaching aircraft by a Pilot Activated Lighting Controller (PALC).
