FREQUENTIS installs ATM-grade network solution across Malaysia “The Frequentis solution complies with the relevant ATM standards such as ED-137 – in addition it delivers commercial and technical benefits which were already successfully demonstrated in advance of this selection,” says Anwar Awang Man, TM Project Director for New Kuala Lumpur ATCC.   VCX-IP is an application-level gateway for voice and data communications complying with European and international VoIP (voice over IP) standards for civil and military air traffic management (ATM). It provides protocol conversion for radio, phone and data, enables ATM-specific contingency scenarios using intelligent routing and optimises ATM applications used by civil and military air navigation service providers.   “ATM-grade network components such as the VCX-IP build the foundation for resilient air traffic management. With decades of experience in safety and mission critical communication, Frequentis is proud to have been chosen by TM to deliver this network solution for CAAM, as a critical part of its transformation programme.”, says Hannu Juurakko, Frequentis Vice President ATM Civil.   The network, which covers the new ATCC, 19 peninsular radio sites and two radio sites in Borneo, connects to more than 300 ATC radios in a fully redundant networked system, and is expected to begin operational trials later this year.
