Canada-based PolarSat has won a multi-phase order from GECI to supply equipment and technical services for a VSATPlus®3 satellite communications network to upgrade ATC communications within Mozambique as part of Aeroportos de Mozambique’s master plan to improve its overall Communications, Navigations and Surveillance capabilities. The Mozambique ATC network comprises 11 sites with two regional control centers all connected in a full mesh all-IP based network. The VSATPlus®3 provides a full mesh, hubless network with no single point of failure, automatically providing connectivity between the two centers in the event of a failure at one of them.
Airbus ATM subsidiary ProSky has been selected by Zurich Airport and Swiss air navigation services provider Skyguide to optimize the Instrument Landing System protection areas of Zurich’s ICAO CATIII runway. They have selected the Exact Landing Interference Simulation Environment services as the best solution to precisely simulate and optimize the critical and sensitive areas of the new localizer antenna for Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 operations. The analysis will also assess the possible gains in terms of size of protection areas by using different localizer antenna systems.
Harris Corp. has unveiled what it claims is the first pure Internet Protocol-based air traffic control voice communications system that can be scaled to support one to 800-plus controller positions. The Harris VoIP system has been specifically designed for ATC, replacing proprietary, time-division multiplexing communications hardware with standards-based, VoIP-enabled voice nodes thereby minimizing dependency on traditional point-to-point communications. It allows net-centric and legacy voice systems to coexist, and offers both US NextGen and Single European Sky ATM Research features and functions.
NAVCANatm, a division of Canada’s air navigation service provider NAV CANADA, has agreed to partner airfield lighting specialist New Bedford Panoramex (NBP) to integrate their airfield ground lighting technology into the NAVCANsuite tower automation system. Integrating NBP’s Integrated Control and Monitor System into NAVCANsuite will give controllers immediate access to an easily configurable airfield lighting control interface. NAVCANsuite integrated ATC products combine flight, surveillance and operational data, providing access to critical airport, tower and terminal information.
