Siemens and Skyway agreed to work together to determine the electrical and digital infrastructure needed to support vertiport operations. Vertiports are hubs for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles such as air taxis and drones. The scope of collaboration involves both companies researching energy demands of vertiports and developing sustainable electrical supply, standard charging processes, and a “system of systems” to support aircraft operations. Innovation around vertiport infrastructure will be critical to the future scalability of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flight operations.

• Two new aspirating smoke detectors, FDA261 and FDA262, extend the existing fire detection portfolio
• Particularly suited for critical infrastructure and very large protection areas
• Highly intuitive commissioning app and improved detection performance
• Modular design to prolong lifetime and reduce environmental footprint

Siemens has introduced two new aspirating smoke detectors (ASD), FDA261 and FDA262, catering to particularly challenging fire safety installations that extend over wide areas, such as large data centers, e-commerce warehouses, or industrial manufacturing sites. A single device can cover up to 6,700 m2, currently the largest coverage area available on the market. Even for Class A installations with the highest sensitivity requirements, up to 2,000 m2 of detection coverage is feasible with a single ASD+ detector. The new ASD Connect app ensures fast and easy digital commissioning. It makes the commissioning process highly automated and intuitive. As a result, the commissioning effort decreases significantly.
