BETONG (THAILAND) USES SITTI SYSTEMS
Betong is a town in southern Thailand, near the Malaysian border, capital of the Betong District, far down in the Thai territory on the Malaccan peninsula. Tourism is an important driver of the economy in the region, with almost a million foreign visitors a year. In order to further improve the local economy, as of 2018 Thailand’s transport ministry is constructing the new Betong Airport. This latter is scheduled to be opened in June 2020, designed to handle about 300 arrivals per hour.
The Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) for the Thailand area (Aeronautical Radio of Thailand – AEROTHAI) had therefore the need to equip the new tower in Betong with a standards-compliant VCS system (Voice Communication System). The local partner of SITTI, V&S Communications Co. Ltd., proposed the MULTIFONO® M800IP® system by SITTI as the optimal solution for the Aerothai needs.
The extremely positive long-lasting reputation gained by SITTI in the region made the rest: the SITTI system has been chosen as the best answer to the requirements of the new modern airport.
