Voice communications for air traffic management, whether it is Air-Ground (A-G) or Ground-Ground (G-G) were predominantly over TDM based Air Traffic Management (ATM) networks. With the latest developments in EUROCAE (European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment) ED-137 inter-operability standard, it is now possible to implement VoIP technology for voice services for air traffic control. This implementation uses familiar SIP protocol to establish, modify, and terminate sessions within an Air Traffic Services Ground Voice Network (AGVN) with endpoint equipment. The endpoint equipment can be SIP based CWPs, Next Generation VCS, Radios, Recorders, and VCS/Radio Gateways allowing interworking with older legacy equipment and protocols as shown in the diagram above. Existing Voice Communication systems (VCS) systems can access an IP WAN network as the connection backbone using VoIP gateways.
Before such a system is deployed live, it is imperative that thorough testing for voice quality, performance, reliability, and functionality be conducted. GL tools for signalling emulation and voice quality testing offer an end-to-end test solution for testing connections from the radio interfaces to the Controller Working Position (CWP).
The following products are included in GL’s End-To-End Signalling Emulation and Voice Quality Test Suite:
Critical Delay Measurements
Bulk Air-to-Ground and Ground-to-Ground Call Simulation
AG, GG call recording and Recorder interface simulation
Voice Quality Testing
WAN IP Link Monitoring
WAN IP Link Simulation
