Empresa Nacional de Aeroportos e Seguranca Aerea (ASA) in the Republic of Cape Verde has been operating an AFTN/AMHS system supplied by Global Weather Dynamics, Inc (GWDI) since 2005. The system is installed at the Oceanic Control Center at Sal Airport and connects to domestic users as well as international communication centers in the Azores Islands (LPAZ) and the Canary Islands (GCCC).
The AFTN/AMHS system plays a critical role in ASA daily operations, which includes responsibility for air traffic management services in the Sal oceanic Flight Information Region (FIR), serving several major air routes connecting Europe and Africa to the Americas.
ASA has contracted Frequentis to upgrade the current AFTN/AMHS system to smartMessenger v4.0, with its enhanced performance capabilities and intuitive user interface, to guarantee the extension of reliable service well into the future.
