Ornskoldsvik is about to become the world’s first remotely controlled airport. The big picture is provided from a 33-foot mast where a gray turret holds an array of digital video cameras, communications antennas, sensors and microphones — a setup that resembles a cross between a space-age dovecote and a prison guard tower. The information from this array, though, is being sent elsewhere — beamed by fiber-optic cable to a windowless room of another airport, 100 miles south, in the slightly larger town of Sundsvall.
