Equatorial Guinea is a small State on the African equator, between Camerun and Gabon. This country is divided into two main areas, one on the main African Continent and the rest being an island with the its capital, Malabo. Through AGSTP (Aeronautical Ground System Turnkey Provider), SITTI has been asked to provide a VoIP (Voice over IP) VCS system (Voice Communication System) for the international airport in Bata, on the continental African side.

Bata is an important city, where the combination of its harbour and airport creates an important sinergy for the development of this young State, allowing transportation of good and persons to and from the inland.

The VCS system provided by SITTI belongs to the benouned MULTIFONO family of systems used worldwide for the efficient management of Air Traffic Control tasks over the country. The VCS system fulfils all most advanced requirements set by the EUROCAE ED137 standard that defines the way the VoIP protocol shall be used in the Air Traffic Management/Control (ATM/ATC) field.

Ergonomic and state-of-the-art Controller Working Positions (CWPs) allow local controller to interface to radio, telephone and intercom connections for providing flight instructions to pilots and coordinating with other controllers at the same or remote sites, through analogue and VoIP-standard links. In addition to the VCS system and its ancillary equipment, a duplicated GPS master clock system is also being provided by SITTI.

The leading edge, redundant, non-blocking architecture of the SYNCRONIS® MULTIFONO® M800IP® provides flexibility and modularity for easy expansion and addition of further functionalities.

SITTI VCS at MOSUL (IRAQ)

The international airport of Mosul suffered many damages during the past local war. In order to reactivate and enhance the air traffic in the region and therefore stimulate its economy, the Iraqi government decided for its reconstruction.

The Turkish company TAV – 77 Insaat JV acted as Main Contractor of the project: they have been awarded the important task of not only rebuilding the airport facilities, but also of providing them with the proper means for safe and technologically advanced air traffic control features. SITTI has been asked to provide all what is needed to accomplish the following tasks:

  • an innovative VCS (Voice Communication System)
  • a modern VRS (Voice Recording and Replay System)
  • radio equipment for controller-pilot communication

SITTI is a world market leader in the provision of VCS and VRS systems, both fully compliant with the EUROCAE ED137 standard that defines the way VoIP (Voice over IP) shall be dealt with in the ATC/ATM fields (Air Traffic Control/Management). The system that will be delivered to Mosul includes Controller Working Positions (CWP) for the operators operating in the airport tower. They will be capable of seamlessly accessing both analogue and digital telephone connections, as well as SIP trunks. Similarly, radios of any kind can be linked to the system thanks to appropriate interfaces. The radio equipment will be provided by Jotron, a Norwegian company. Additionally, AFM Group will provide invaluable assistance and on-site installation to support the project.
