- Vienna, Austria.
The European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) and Frequentis jointly celebrated the 10thanniversary of EUROCAE Working Group 67 (WG-67). The celebration took place at the Frequentis premises during the 31st EUROCAE WG-67 meeting at October 1 and 2. The meeting was attended by about fifty high ranked technical representatives from ANSPs and Industry from Europe, USA, Brazil and Australia.
 
The working group was formed in 2004 by European Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), EUROCONTROL, suppliers of VCS equipment and ground-based radio systems, other equipment suppliers and service providers. WG-67 aimed to harmonise inter-operability of VoIP-based voice communication systems in Air Traffic Management within Europe. Now, ten years later, the initiative became a global success story, setting standards in VoIP ATM Voice Communication not only in Europe but also in Brazil, USA, and Australia. The standard is now referenced at ICAO level (Doc 9896).
 
EUROCONTROL VOIP Implementation Support Group (VOTE) 10th meeting preceded the event proving the success story of VoIP in ATM world-wide and actively supporting ICAO in this endeavour.
 
Frequentis CEO Hannes Bardach proudly states: 'It’s with utmost pleasure that Frequentis hosts the 31stWG-67 meeting, which also marks the 10th anniversary of the EUROCAE Working Group 67.
As one of the founding members and supporters of the EUROCAE WG-67 initiative from the very beginning, Frequentis is proud to be part of this success story – setting global standards within ATM.'
 
Furthermore he continues: 'Ten years ago EUROCAE initiated the EUROCAE WG-67 and Guy Potiron from DSNA, the French Air Navigation Provider, took over chairmanship. Today it’s my honour to hand over a trophy expressing our sincere thanks to Mr. Guy Potiron for his 10 years’ strong support and commitment as chairman of WG-67.'
