SITTI EMERGENCY ACCESS DEVICE (EAD) IN DJIBOUTI

SITTI has always been on the forefront in the development of advanced and technologically unparalleled solutions for the ATC/ATM fields (Air Traffic Control/Management). Among these, EAD is particularly interesting because it provides final users with an emergency, easy-to-use, reliable means for getting access to remote radios in contingency situations.

EAD (Emergency Access Device) is a compact all-in-one, powerful and modular solution, designed in accordance with EUROCAE ED137 standard. The concept behind EAD design is to serve Air Traffic Control Centres for contingency purposes as Last Resort System, but its performance perfectly fits the applications for small-sized airports or towers, transportable solutions and movable shelters.

EAD allows direct VoIP ED137 communications with any radio equipment. Whenever required, it can be also equipped with telephone connectivity, allowing ED137-based calls to other devices connected through the LAN/WAN and supporting the functionality. EAD can manage up to 8 simultaneous VoIP connections to single channel radios using the EUROCAE ED137 standard and SIP/RTP protocol for voice traffic:

Because of its intrinsic flexibility and reliability, SITTI EAD solutions are about to be installed at the Djibouti airport, in one of the most strategic areas in the world, just in front of the entrance to the Red Sea. Through its 7-inch touch-screen, local controllers can connect their electroacoustic devices (headphone/microphone/PTT) to establish emergency radio connections sparse over the territory.

SITTI is a primary VCS manufacturer and supplier worldwide, capable of giving prompt and top edge solution answers to Customer needs, both in the Civil and Military fields. 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 AT RIMINI MEETING 2024

From August 20 to 25, SITTI will be exposing at the Rimini Meeting, the annual event organized by the Communion and Liberation movement. This is the 45th edition of this important event, whose importance in the cultural, political, religious and social fields is continuously growing: more than 700.000 persons are expected to visit the meeting this year.

The title chosen for the current edition raises a great challenge for us: ‘If we are not looking for the essential then, what are we looking for?’. The meeting in Rimini (https://www.meetingrimini.org/) is intended to show that all human aspects are strictly interconnected: society, economics, religion, work, finance all involve us as a whole and we have to think and follow what is really important to us, the essential.

ENAV and SITTI together showed how they contribute to the activities ruled by the Ministry for infrastructure and transport (MIT), by allowing visitors of all ages and all kind of backgrounds to understand how Air Traffic Control (ATC) works and is organized. Most visitors are not aware of what happens “behind the scenes” when they get on a plane and they get surprised when they start understanding how much technology is involved to guarantee they reach their destination safely and timely.

The ENAV-SITTI joint stand has been visited by the Ministry for infrastructure and transport, Mr. Matteo Salvini, who congratulated for the constant attention to passengers and the advanced technological achievements and future projects that are being implemented by the two companies.

SITTI is grateful for the opportunity it is having to reach the general public through the Meeting in Rimini, allowing visitors to appreciate the topmost level of technology applied to Air Traffic Control, developed by a fully Italian company.
