At ATC Global in Amsterdam, Rohde & Schwarz will present its first voice communications system for cockpit-tower communications. The fully IP-based R&S VCS-4G has an impressive technological edge: It enables the migration of ATC communications infrastructures to voice over IP. At the same time, this flexible system can be easily integrated into existing analog infrastructures.

Airports around the world are having to increase their capacity. Initiatives such as the European Commission's Single European Sky are driving the migration from analog and digital technologies to voice over IP (VoIP): VoIP is required for the harmonization of European airspace communications technology in order to achieve interoperability among ATC authorities. The technologically superior solutions from Rohde & Schwarz fulfill the requirements ...
