"There are benefits in the use of StarCaster over the older system. This is especially reflected in much more modern and better interface that provides the ATC folks more streamlined workflow. Also the support of external connection of METAR information directly into the StarCaster is also a great timesaver, and ensures the best information is available to pilots each time. The flexibility and robustness of the StarCaster system makes us believe that maintenance costs will in the long term not be extensive. Also the extensive set of words the system can voice, provides good flexibility for ATC folks to announce special conditions of the airport through the ATIS, and the recording feature has been used on occasion when necessary. This way the ATC folks can always broadcast the type of messages that provide the best necessary information of the airport conditions each time."
