Company brief

MC Solutions S.r.l. is an Italian engineering company specialising in airfield lighting control and monitoring, aircraft ground guidance and runway incursion prevention - all built on a proprietary fibre-optic data architecture. The company traces its origins to inventor Umberto Cazzani, who in the 1980s pioneered the separation of power and data cabling and the transmission of monitoring data over fibre optic links for airfield use; under his son Maurizio Cazzani, now general manager, this work led to a worldwide patent for the 'Monitor Control Lamp Optical' technology. Today MC Solutions's product line is centred on Airfield Lighting Control & Monitoring Systems (ALCMS), runway incursion prevention systems, ALCMS diagnostics, and bespoke / customised hardware and software. Recent news on the homepage highlights an ALCMS deployment at MIA (Miami International Airport), additional UK market traction, the Autonomous Runway Safeguard (ArS) product, and Intertek FAA L-890 certification. Service offerings cover airport service, data network design and certification, video-distribution design and calibration, video-surveillance design and installation, and audio/video service. Beyond aviation, the firm applies the same fibre-optic data and industrial-electronics expertise to gas distribution, intelligent data management, audio/video service and analogue/digital networks. The team operates trilingually (Italian, English, Spanish) and lists a US Representative Agent, indicating an international sales footprint anchored in Italy with North American and UK reach.

From the supplier

MC Solutions answers buyer questions.

Drawn from MC Solutions’s own published guidance at mc-solutions.it. Cited verbatim by Aviation Souk’s AI when buyer questions match.

What makes MC Solutions' MIA System different from legacy ALCMS?
MIA uses a patented fibre-optic data channel that runs entirely independent of the 6.6A high-current power loop, so the noise that plagues legacy powerline-communication systems disappears. Two redundant application servers run hot-standby for 100% CCR availability, and individual-lamp monitoring is built in via the MCLO module on every L-830 isolation transformer.
Source ↗
What FAA / ICAO certifications do MC Solutions products carry?
The MIA System is FAA L-890 Level 4 Type D certified by Intertek (certificate 69010327-001-1) — the highest conformance level available. It also meets ICAO Annex 14 CAT III for low-visibility operations. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 (RINA), and four invention patents in Italy, the EU (EP 3 769 591), the US (US 11,459,119 B2) and the UAE.
Source ↗
Where is MC Solutions equipment installed today?
Across nine Italian commercial airports — including Venice Marco Polo (VCE) since 2018 as the flagship CAT-III deployment — plus three NATO airbases. Projects are under way in the United Kingdom and the United States, with strategic patent protection already filed in the United Arab Emirates ahead of GCC airport deployments.

Can your equipment be retrofitted on a brownfield runway with existing CCRs?
Yes — that's a key strength of the MIA System. The GPI / UNI-CONV CCR Interfaces bridge MIA to constant-current regulators from any major OEM (ADB SAFEGATE, ATG Airports, OCEM, Honeywell and others) across multiwire, Ethernet, LonWorks, ModBus, and serial RS-485/232/422 protocols. No CCR replacement, no full estate downtime — modular ALCMS upgrade rather than capex-heavy rip-and-replace.
Source ↗
What is the Autonomous Runway Safeguard (ArS) and when is it useful?
ArS is a radar-free runway-incursion alerting system that uses Crossing Detection Units (CDU) at holding positions instead of surface-movement radar. Detection in under half a second triggers stop-bar and visual-warning logic via the existing ALCMS. No civil works required. It's the right fit for regional and general-aviation airports, remote-tower installations, and any airfield where radar capex isn't feasible. ArS won the Inter Airport Europe 2021 Innovation Award for Data & Digitalisation.
Source ↗
How do you measure and certify burnt-lamp response time on FAA L-890?
Using the LTC (Lamp Time Control) — a portable field instrument with FAA-recognised L-890 conformance test method, calibrated to ±1-2 ms accuracy. Battery + mains for site flexibility. Dual-power, dual-trace recording. The same instrument used by airport maintenance teams for both commissioning and recertification of operational ALCMS estates.
Source ↗
Does MC Solutions equipment support CAT III low-visibility operations?
Yes — the MIA System manages CAT I, II and III automatically. The Crossing Detection Unit (CDU) drives stop-bar and LEAD-ON logic required by ICAO Annex 14 for low-visibility approaches. Venice Marco Polo (VCE) — the flagship reference deployment since 2018 — runs the full CAT III stack on MIA.
Source ↗
How quickly can MC Solutions deliver and commission a full ALCMS upgrade?
Pre-sales engineering and CAD takeoffs typically complete within 2-4 weeks of brief. Manufacturing lead time on MCLO modules and MIA server racks runs 8-12 weeks. On-site commissioning teams operate across the EU, North America and the UAE with 24/7 technical support. For brownfield CCR-only retrofits via the GPI / UNI-CONV interfaces, single-runway installations have been completed inside a 4-week night-window programme.
