Indra's workstations will be installed in the approach and en route centers Madrid, Sevilla, Palma, Barcelona and Canarias, as well as the SENASA ATC simulation center in Madrid.
The BARCO PVS 5600M and PVS 5611T are single-slot, high-performance PCI graphics controller boards with a display resolution of up to 2048 x 2048 and 32Mb of video memory.
