Egis provides a router for aeronautical telecommunications in Ethiopia

Through extensive research work and studies on aeronautical communications for air-ground and ground-ground applications, Egis Avia has long been contributing to this issue by offering a wide range of specific products addressing these needs. Egis Avia specially developed a strong expertise in operational ATN routers and AFTN/AMHS gateways to connect the existing services to new infrastructures and ensure seamless transition between networks. In compliance with international standards, the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority decided to implement a new ATN/AMHS system offering more efficient services and new operational capacity to the countrys air navigation service provider. In the framework of this project, Egis Avias ProATN router and ATN Lower Layers End System software are integrated into the AMHS solution of the American Company RADIOCOM, providing the solution with ATN communication facilities. Egis Avias services also include the commissioning and set-up of the system as well as training of operators and maintenance staff. Expediting the transition from AFTN to AMHS for end users and offering a better connectivity with neighbouring countries air traffic control, the installation of this new technology is fully in line with the strategy to continuously improve air transport safety.
