Background
The AtoN Engineering Workshop follows on from the successful series of IALA LITE-BATT workshops dating back to the 1990s. These were delivered by the IALA AtoN Engineering and Sustainability Committee (formerly EEP) and introduced to inform AtoN regulators, designers, manufacturers and providers of the emerging technologies such as LEDs, battery technology and solar generation. Time has moved on and while these remain important technologies the scope of the AtoN Engineer
has broadened; this workshop aims to capture that depth of technology.
Topics
The 2024 Workshop aims to cover all topics relevant to AtoN Engineering. Topics
will include:
- A regional perspective of AtoN challenges in Australasia and the Pacific
- the emerging technologies;
- resilient PNT technologies;
- lights;
- power generation, and;
- storage.
Objective
To give delegates the latest available AtoN Engineering updates and a glimpse into the future with emerging technologies along with their status. A key objective will be to review the IALA World Wide Academy (WWA) lesson content for AtoN Technicians and for the engineering components of the AtoN Manager course.
Process
The one week Workshop will include presentations on all aspects of AtoN Engineering from a range of expert speakers and will review future candidate technologies. Then, it will split into working groups to review the WWA model course content to ensure it remains fit for purpose and up to date.
Attendees
Managers, competent authorities, engineering and technical staff responsible for the delivery, operation and management of AtoN would benefit from attending the workshop.
Manufacturers of AtoN equipment and systems will also be in attendance.
