The AC3000 operating system is built on the WIN3000 platform, offering compatibility with both Windows XP and Windows 7. The system's central control unit, located on a PC, manages communication between the independent zones by coordinating with diverters placed throughout the routing network. Key features of the platform include priority-based sending and receiving, automatic forwarding of carriers during power outages, and the ability to update the system. When updates are required, an Aerocom service engineer can access the system via "programming mode" and download the necessary changes, typically causing only a brief system interruption.
