Air-Ground Communications & Datalink
Normal course duration: 3 days
This course covers the background, history,
development and current status of air-ground communications including
datalinks.
Currently, air traffic control is based on voice
communications over VHF analogue channels. Through the years, this existing
communications medium has spread widely and proved a very simple and effective
means of communicating with aircraft. However, it has limitations, especially
in congested regions. A pronounced growth in air traffic is placing increasing
strain on the current infrastructure and it is widely held that datalink
applications will play a fundamental role in enhancing safety and capacity in
air traffic management. Communication is also important for commercial data related
to airline operations and, increasingly, to the provision of services for
passengers. Datalink communications is already an available commodity in
today’s ATC tool set, and initial datalink services have been pioneered in Europe, and are in the pipeline in other regions.
This course will provide attendees with a solid
view on the context of aeronautical communications, an overview and
understanding of the key technologies and issues associated with their
implementation, applications, spectrum issues and a status of implementation.

Voice over IP technology and its application to Air Traffic Service Ground Voice Networks
Normal course duration: 2 days
The introduction of Voice over IP for ATS Ground
Voice Telephone and Radio Networks is starting to cause a gradual evolution
with the migration from the circuit switched and TDM based VCS communication
infrastructures in operation today towards a future converged common multimedia
IP network infrastructure for both voice and data services. IP Technology has
now the true potential to fulfil operational and technical ATM communication
requirements.
EUROCAE documents specifying VoIP interface
requirements, interoperable functionality, network aspects and
qualification/validation tests have now been released and work has begun to
develop compliant Telephone, Radio and Recorder Voice over IP interfaces.
From chatting over the internet to replacing whole
telecommunications networks, VoIP means different things to different people.
In general, VoIP involves changes to many aspects of how audio is transferred
between points, which brings with it certain advantages and certain
disadvantages.

Aeronautical Message Handling System (AMHS)
Normal course duration: 3 days
This three-day course has an optional extra day on
implementation of AMHS, which is the replacement technology for the Aeronautical
Fixed Telecommunication Network. The course covers AMHS/AFTN background,
rationale, traffic, users and functionality; relationships with other messaging
systems and service information.
