Success Story
Columbia’s Airports - Air Traffic Control
Résumé exécutif
Défi
Colombia’s Air Traffic Control (ATC) authorities needed an extremely reliable data/
voice/video network for aircraft and airports.
La solution
La solution clé en main complète consistait en un système VSAT hybride unique, de type Star/Mesh, avec des liaisons montantes par satellite redondantes situées à divers endroits, l'une à Barranquilla et l'autre à Bogota, 37 systèmes distants installés dans des aéroports du pays, et des services gérés sur place pendant la première année d'exploitation.
Avantages de SpaceBridge
A unified Mesh and Star network for real-time mission-critical network. SpaceBridge
developed a modification of its U7400-M VSAT terminal to provide a Local Terminal
Redundancy and GeoRedundancy Air Traffic Control Certified Equipment Integration with the aeronautical information management system supplied by Frequentis.
Success Story
Columbia’s Airports - Air Traffic Control
Introduction
Civil Aviation Columbia controls 37 airports in the country. The group sought to acquire more reliable voice and data connectivity for its mission-critical network. The multi-service network enhances productivity among airport tenants by providing stable connections allowing aircraft and airports to communicate with each other in real time.
Défi
Les opérations aéroportuaires modernes sont extrêmement complexes. Les besoins combinés de millions de passagers, de milliers d'employés et d'infrastructures sophistiquées font peser une charge énorme sur leurs réseaux de communication.
Réalisations
Spacebridge created a Star/Mesh hybrid network that connects Columbia’s airports to Air Traffic Control (ATC) centers based in Bogota and Barranquilla. SpaceBridge installed two geographically redundant VSAT HUBs, one in each city, and each equipped with a 4.5-meter C-band antenna and 1:1 redundant HPA, as well as two full new uplink systems. SpaceBridge managed the design, integration, installation and commissioning of the VSAT systems, including 37 airport terminals equipped with redundant SpaceBridge U7400-M Mesh/Star modems.
Results: The Benefits of Spacebridge
The network Spacebridge created for Civil Aviation Columbia is built to address the challenges associated with connecting modern airports. These include meeting strict uptime, availability, reliability and regulatory certification requirements, so passengers and air travel is safe and efficient. Spacebridge’s unique system delivers a scalable, rapidly deployable, and robust solution, with terminals that provide unparalleled advanced redundancy.
