Systems Interface Commission Frequentis Voice Communication System (VCS) at Land’s End Airport

Systems Interface Engineers have installed and commissioned a Frequentis 3020X Voice Communication System at Land’s End Airport. The VCS has been installed at three positions, two in the Visual Control Room and one in the engineering room.

Installation of the VCS, in collaboration with Lands End and Exeter Airport engineers, and its commissioning by Systems Interface took place during June 2019 in parallel with the legacy system thereby enabling a seamless transition into service without interruption to flight departures or arrivals.

The Frequentis 3020X provides fast and efficient communication between the Air Traffic Controllers, emergency services, airport engineering and inbound and outbound aircraft.
