Press Release Summary: TOPEX successfully tested an improved VCS solution at Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) with Multi Frequency Coding (MFC) Signaling Converter which assures transportation of this protocol over the Internet according to EUROCONTROL specifications.
Press Release Body: TOPEX VCS solution has been implemented at Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration for over five years and allows its configuration for a very wide range of applications in the ATC field. Due to excellent collaboration certified by traditional long business relations, ROMATSA, the organization providing the achievement of the air traffic control, chose to test TOPEX improved solution. During these tests, the new ground-ground communication network between Air Traffic Control Centers from ROMATSA was provided by TOPEX VCS via MFC connections. The purpose of the MFC network is to connect many single units to a powerful and dedicated infrastructure.
TOPEX solution was internationally launched three years ago, being the world\'s first fully IP implementation in ATC environment but now, it has superior capabilities in line with the progress of IP technology. It is a secure and easy to deploy, upgrade and customize solution as it makes use of existent system infrastructure and has all the advantages of an IP-based solution.
"ATM communications is about reliability, redundancy, top-quality, top-technology, failure-proof and future-oriented systems", declared Mr. Dan Adamescu, CEO TOPEX. "We have experience in integrating VoIP to any type of interfaces and one important thing about IP is the fact that is suitable to transport any type of communications like data, voice, video or multimedia. This aspect translates in advantage of IP-VCS vs. legacy-VCS: one network to implement, configure and administer, ready for present and future communications services.", added Mr. Adamescu.
TOPEX enhanced solution is to convert line signaling with 2280 KHz and MFC tones in something that can be transported over the IP (using an IP signaling session). TOPEX IP VCS has an open architecture and it can integrate devices from different vendors (IP media gateways, IP radio gateways, IP voice recorders, SIP phones).
Based on its advanced experience in designing and implementing IP infrastructures with specific transport requests, TOPEX delivers end to end solutions covering transport, quality and security needs in order to fully meet the actual expectations of ATC industry.
