S4GA

S4GA — trusted by one of the world’s leading airport operators.

For S4GA, collaboration with the Airports is a valuable reference and another example of our solutions being used across the major operator's network.

Reyes Murillo Airport (NQU) in Nuquí serves as the main air gateway to Colombia’s Pacific coast.

Located in a remote area, the airport needed a grid-independent AGL system that could withstand high humidity and provide the required lighting performance in a tropical climate.

With S4GA Solar PRO, Reyes Murillo Airport received a solar airfield lighting system designed for these conditions. But more importantly, it gained the ability to make Nuquí a more accessible region through straightforward air connectivity.

Solar AGL maintenance is straightforward. But what does it actually involve?

Simple routine steps: cleaning the solar panels when they get dirty, changing the batteries once in a few years, and checking the state of system periodically.

All these maintenance needs are addressed through the S4GA ALCMS. Instead of relying solely on manual inspections, airport teams can check the notifications and see when preventive maintenance is required.

An airfield lighting system can be fully ICAO-compliant and still fail to meet an airport’s operational requirements.

This may sound contradictory, but compliance and operational suitability answer two different questions: one about established standards, and another one about required performance. That is why ICAO compliance shouldn’t be the only consideration before investment.

S4GA Solar CAT I is a high-intensity, ICAO-compliant airfield lighting system for sites where CAT I lighting is required, but conventional infrastructure is not practical.

The system uses independent solar-powered lights, removing the need for a centralized power supply and underground cabling.

Relevant for:

🔹Low-traffic airports with CAT I requirements
🔹Remote locations with unstable or limited grid power
🔹Sites with limited maintenance personnel

PAPI lights have to do more than provide the right indication.

S4GA LED PAPI lights are:

🔹 independent of the grid, powered by solar energy
🔹 wirelessly controlled and monitored from the ATC tower through the S4GA ALCMS
🔹 designed to operate across a wide range of climates, from searing heat to extreme cold

How can an aircraft land after the airport's closing hours?

Airports do not always have a 24/7 air traffic control service or a large technical team on site. But a private, training, charter, or medical flight may still arrive after the working day has ended and airport personnel have left.

So, who switches on the airfield lighting?

The S4GA airfield lighting systems allow the pilot to activate the lights themselves when needed. With a few button presses, the AGL receives the command via VHF directly from the aircraft.
