Voice Communication Systems for Air Traffic Control

Frequentis will once more demonstrate its market leading innovations and new concepts for the civil and military ATM community at the WATMC, booth 526.

Frequentis is the global market leader in safety-critical communication systems for Air Traffic Control and Aeronautical Information Management. Our solution portfolio and product functionality in ATM-grade communications and in integrated voice & data networks, with scalable full IP systems, automation products for towers and centres, and aeronautical information management systems, optimise cost of ownership and ATM efficiency. We are committed to ATM: we serve more than 280 organisations based in 115 countries, which look after the safety of 90% of air passengers worldwide; and over 25,000 of our controller working positions are in operation.

Some glimpses into recent project successes:

FREQUENTIS ATM Networks Launch during World ATM Congress 2015
Once again Frequentis will present a very strong line-up of solutions at the show, reinforcing its position as technology leader and innovator with a strong commitment to the ATM industry.

World ATM Congress 2015 will see the international debut of FREQUENTIS ATM Networks.
Air Navigation Service Providers face the challenge of managing increased operational and cost-saving requirements. With the launch of ATM Networks, Frequentis now offers them a cost-efficient converged network solution for all their applications. This scalable approach delivers ATM-grade availability of up to 99,9999%. Combined with real-time information and intelligent routing, this ensures the necessary end-to-end performance for every application.

Airways New Zealand Upgrades its Air Traffic Management Network with FREQUENTIS State-of-the-Art IP Technology
In 2013 Airways New Zealand contracted Frequentis to upgrade the current E1 based Frequentis VCX backbone to state-of-the-art and ICAO-compliant ED-137 based IP technology. The delivery includes more than 200 Frequentis VCX-IP ED-137 network nodes connecting voice communication systems, radio equipment, radar systems and other mission-critical equipment into Airways’ high-availability MPLS backbone. Today the migration of nationwide safety-critical data and voice network to IP technology is progressing rapidly.

FREQUENTIS Tests SESAR Solution for Air Traffic Control Towers to Optimise Airport Integration and Throughput
European controllers have successfully validated the SESAR Release 4 Air Traffic Control Tower Solution. Frequentis, together with EUROCONTROL and the German air navigation service provider DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, performed an extensive validation using the SESAR Advanced Controller Working Position (A-CWP). The validation, took place at the EUROCONTROL Experimental Center in Bretigny, France end of 2014. Over four days a group of European controllers validated the solution by running multiple simulated exercises using different traffic scenarios, witnessed by the SESAR project members as well as independent observers from different European air navigation service providers and the European Commission.

FREQUENTIS Voice Recording Solutions Ensure GermanyÂ’s Area Control Centres are Ready for the Future
The long-term partnership between high-tech firm Frequentis and DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH has driven many innovations over the past three decades. One example is the latest release (3.2) of the fully-virtual Frequentis DIVOS 3 log voice recording system, developed with significant input from DFS on the required specifications. The DIVOS platform already operates at DFS's Langen and Munich ACCs. Signed in December 2014, the latest contract from this German ANSP will see Frequentis install two new DIVOS 3 log solutions at the Bremen and Karlsruhe ACCs in time for full operation in early 2016. All German ACCs will then be using this state-of-the-art voice recording system. The order also includes a new maintenance contract for the DIVOS system in Langen.

FREQUENTIS Key Supplier to AQUILA for Global UK Ministry of Defence Programme MARSHALL
Frequentis has reached an agreement with AQUILA to deliver all voice communication systems for the MARSHALL programme, with an order volume in excess of 20 million euros in 2014. MARSHALL is a major air traffic services programme of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and will provide long-term air traffic management capability for the safe operation of all main bases, airfields, and air weapon ranges from the MoD. The ATM modernisation includes more than 100 locations in the UK and overseas including 60 airfields and ranges. The Frequentis part includes voice communication systems product deliveries for stationary and deployable elements as well as a basic service support contract for more than 20 years.
