Frequentis upgraded the main and test systems at Reykjavik ACC to Release 7.1 of its marketleading VCS3020X voice communication system.

It’s a familiar challenge for ANSPs: cut costs while improving efficiency and air safety. This challenge has an added dimension for Iceland’s ANSP, Isavia. As well as operating all the country’s airports, Isavia also manages air traffic in one of the world’s largest control areas. As a pioneer of VoIP communication in ATM, Isavia has a reputation for innovation to protect. “Innovation is part of our DNA, so IP-based voice communication systems are now a must for our ACC facilities,” notes Hjalti Pálsson, Manager, R&D at Isavia.

An upgrade to their existing Frequentis voice communication system means Isavia continues to have the cutting-edge technology needed to master the modern ATM challenge. The upgraded system is now Europe’s largest operational VoIP-based ATM installation.

“Our VCS upgrade process needed to be fast, costeffective and worth the effort, all while allowing uninterrupted ATM operations. That’s exactly what we got from Frequentis.” Hjalti Pálsson, Manager, R&D at Isavia
