Super Unicom?

Is this relatively new technology? From what I can find on google, it looks like it's a system programmed to reply with automated advisories to the pilot's inbound call to an uncontrolled field, w/ messages becoming more concise as frequency congestion increases.

Just wanted to know as the website for a local field (S03) says a super unicom is "coming soon."

Thanks.

TLS precision approaches were supposed to become all the rage as well. Which is kind of funny considering I can think of two airports where they are installed, but we can't use them for some reason or another.

That's what I wondered about... sounds like a pain in the rectum.
