VoIP as a key ATC technologyThe challenges now facing the ATC world will be met with the increasing use of IP technology. VoIP offers operational functionality and flexibility that would have been unthink-able with the TDM-based systems of the past. It also pro-vides significant financial advantages.
Reduced system costsMany ATC system operators are already using IP networks to transmit radar and flight plan data. Using this IP infrastructure also for voice creates synergies in procurement, operation and maintenance, resulting in significant savings.
In the past, TDM-based systems relied on large central-ized switching nodes. In contrast, modern IP-based sys-tems make use of distributed network intelligence and do not require a central switching entity, thereby providing pay-as-you-grow scalability. As a result, ATC authorities no longer need to invest in large systems right from the start. This has a direct impact on your return on investment.
Increased reliabilityReliability in TDM systems typically depended on duplicating high-cost centralized equipment. VoIP systems , however, migrate intelligence away from the network core to peripheral equipment. With the intelli-gence distributed over various elements, a failure at one part of the system does not affect operation in the rest of the system. The direct result is higher reliability and avail-ability.
InteroperabilityThe ED-137 issued by EUROCAE specifies the use of IP for voice communications in ATC environments. This standard was defined jointly by EUROCAE, ATC authorities and ATC equipment manufacturers. Customers who select equip-ment that meets this standard can be assured that the various system components interoperate properly with one another.
Your challengeThe ATC world is currently undergoing a game-changing development in voice communications infrastructure. There are two key factors driving this change: ❙ Telecom service providers are now phasing out their leased line TDM services
❙ Eurocontrol, the Federal Aviation Administration and other organizations are mandating interoperability requirementsinordertohandleincreased airtraffic
ATC authorities need to understand how these factors affect their business and make plans now for transition, system interoperability, flexible assignment of airspace and cost-effectiveness.

IP-based radio remote control unitsThe R&S®GB4000T control unit and the R&S®GB4000V audio unit are IP-based components for small-scale systems that consist of only a few working positions for air-ground communications. Their compact design minimizes space requirements in operator consoles. The R&S®GB4000VadherestoEUROCAE ED-137.
VoIP radiosThe R&S®Series4200 radio family is one of the newest available on the ATC market. The radios have been deployed across the globe and have earned themselves a reputation for a high level of reliability and dependability. The latest model of the R&S®Series4200 is fully VoIP enabled and adheres to EUROCAE ED-137.
IP-based remote control and monitoringThe R&S®RCMS II remote control & monitoring system serves as a single software solution for remote monitoring of the R&S®VCS-4G system and R&S®Series4200 radios. It can also monitor third party SNMP-capable devices, mak-ing it the tool of choice for a complete situational overview of remote radio and VCS sites.
Your partner from the microphone to the antennaRohde & Schwarz offers a wide selection of VoIP-based products designed specifically for the needs of ATC customers around the world. The company provides sys-tem solutions from the microphone to the antenna. This eliminates the need for complex and costly integration work and helps to minimize project risks.
IP-based VCSThe R&S®VCS-4G voice communications system (VCS) takes full advantage of IP technology, making it scal-able, cost-effective, and ready for the future. It fulfills the needs of both small-scale and large-scale area controlcenters (ACC)aswellasbackupsystemsand tower installations. The R&S®VCS-4G meets the highest standards for availability, reliability and safety. It supports traditional VCS services, such as air-ground communications, intercom and telephony services. The IP-based distributed architecture provides addi-tional benefits, such as the integration of new services (e.g. video)andpay-as-you-growscalability.TheR&S®VCS-4G adheres to EUROCAE ED-137.
