Gallium delivers I-SIM to Georgia Aviation Technical College
On September 21, 2006, Gallium Visual Systems turned its latest I-SIM Radar Simulator over to Georgia Aviation & Technical College. Gallium delivered 25 positions of its flagship Radar Simulator, I-SIM, to the prestigious aviation training institute's new Air Traffic Management program. The simulator will allow the school to train future air traffic controllers in both en route and terminal (near airport) operations.

The Georgia aviation system compromises 16 student radar controller positions, eight pseudo-pillot positions and one supervisor/instructor position. It mimics different aircraft and other agencies involved in air traffic control. Twenty-five positions of "I-SIM Connect" were also installed to enable students at different positions of the simulator to pass voice messages to each other, and for the instructor to monitor all network voice traffic activity.
