Well, the Thales Eurocat2000 stripless enviroment (strips are an option)is used in Australia. While not super busy Sydney has a sustained movement rate of 80 per hour, hour on hour. This rate is artificially capped capped and simulations have shown that about 110 per hour is capable. There is an associated secondary airport 12nm and a military at 25 nm which are all handled by the TCU. The electronic strip display is not seen as a contributing problem. There are no strips in the TCU's or Enroute but they are used in the tower. On the introduction of the system 95% of the Flight Data Officers were made redundant.
