As the prime contractor for turnkey delivery of Spain’s air navigation service provider (ANSP), ENAIRE’s, latest modernisation programme, Frequentis has partnered with the ANSP on the first large-scale voice communication system (VCS) project for the country.
ENAIRE, Spain’s air navigation service provider (ANSP), is upgrading 14 contingency voice communication systems (VCS) across nine different locations in Barcelona, Madrid Area Control Centre and ENAIRE Test Centre, Seville, Palma de Mallorca, the Canary Islands, Malaga, Valencia and Zaragoza. Frequentis has already started on implementing the contingency system at both the main operations room and the contingency room this year and will continue to do so throughout 2023.
“Having worked in the VCS market for over 75 yeras, Frequentis is proud to have the technology and know-how to deliver this large-scale project for ENAIRE,” said Hannu Juurakko, Frequentis VP ATM Civil and Chairman of the ATM Executive Team.
“We are thrilled to be working together once more, helping to establish safe and resilient contingency VCS across the country, allowing ENAIRE to reach its goal of being a front-funner in safe and efficient provision of air traffic services.”
Once complete, ENAIRE will benefit from an increase in radio and telephone resources available to air traffic controllers, improved quality of communications and greater visibility in establishing procedures in the event of an emergency. As well as being fully integrated into ENAIRE’s IP communications network, the contingency systems will also offer new functionalities in communication management and the information provided to the user on their status.
