In air traffic communications, seamless and reliable communication is non-negotiable. As pioneers in aviation IT, SITA has developed a comprehensive ATC Network designed to elevate the safety of air traffic management operations. With a commitment to innovation and worldwide coverage, we offer cutting-edge infrastructure and unwavering support to ensure uninterrupted communication between aircraft and ground facilities.
State-of-the-art infrastructure with global connectivity
At the heart of our network lies a state-of-the-art infrastructure, providing access to diverse communication media, including VHF, SATCOM, and IP links. Whether under the stewardship of ANSPs or SITA, our VDLm2 Ground Station (VGS) delivers optimal performance, setting the standard for aircraft communications on a global scale. However, adopting SITA's ATN Backbone Service is the best option for a seamless CPDLC service and compliance with the European Implementing Rule on Data Link Services.
Our infrastructure offers access to a wide variety of media. They include VHF communications (POA and VDLm2 frequencies), SATCOM communications via Inmarsat, MTSAT, Iridium constellations, and new-generation IP links. Performance is assured whether an ANSP or SITA manages the VDLm2 Ground Station (VGS).
Pioneering communication for effortless operations
Our aircraft communications infrastructure leads the world, embracing the technologies, standards, and protocols needed for ANSP. Our ACARS processors in Montreal and Singapore relay data between aircraft and airline operational centers and between aircraft and ATC facilities, facilitating the usage of ATC Systems such as FANS, DCL, D-ATIS, D-VOLMET, OCL, and several other systems designed to ensure a smooth flow of standardized data exchanges.
As the industry's leading innovator, we've deployed a complete multi-frequency ATN/VDLm2 network in European airspace to distribute network loads efficiently and allow a more connected and data-driven air traffic management system.
Comprehensive support
All our ANSP customers can rely on comprehensive support around the globe. Our monitoring and reporting systems ensure the reliability and performance of the datalink infrastructure, while our seasoned engineering and technical staff, trained in the ITIL framework, stand ready to tackle any challenges that may arise.
