Space Communications
The space community faces many of the same challenges and needs so familiar to those in air traffic management, so Frequentis has built on its decades of ATM experience to offer comparable solutions for the space industry.
Our focus on innovation, customer orientation and in-depth domain and technological know-how has already led NASA to commission Frequentis to equip all its space operations centres with state-of-the-art communications & conferencing systems, as part of the Mission Operations Voice Enhancement (MOVE) programme.
We have already delivered the largest mission-critical voice communication system in the world to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Given the cost structure of space operations, space agencies need information and communication management solutions that are reliable, robust, user friendly and technologically advanced, but which are cost effective to install and maintain.
The flexibility and scalability to continually adapt to future needs, expansion and technological developments is also a must...as is the capacity to connect disparate organisations, facilities and communities in the management, support and analysis of manned and unmanned space flight missions.
These are characteristics that have always featured in Frequentis voice communication systems, networking solutions, and information and data management and automation tools.
Frequentis sees itself as a long-term partner, whose solutions and services solve the challenges of both today and the future.
Frequentis solutions may be standalone elements of our space portfolio, an integrated Frequentis solution, or an integrated multi-vendor solution, where Frequentis uses its project and technological expertise to provide unbiased integration and project management services.
These solutions begin with our flagship products: voice communication systems. For example, ATC operators working at more than 16,000 positions across the globe rely on our technology, making us the world's leading supplier.
We provide communication solutions for any size of mission operation, from small standalone control facilities to the largest networked centres.
Our core voice communication systems, built around the VCS 3020X system, combine state-of-the-art design and technology with proven components and highly-intuitive user interfaces. The result is an efficient system customised to the precise needs of each client, keeping total cost of ownership low, safety high, and retaining the flexibility to adapt to future changes in scale or operational needs.
Our voice communication systems are complemented by a portfolio of network solutions and services. Network approaches are vital to modern mission management, connecting and integrating disparate facilities, data sources, communication channels, end-user devices and people in a common working environment.
Frequentis network solutions ensure cost-effective and safe transition to modern systems, with integration of legacy and third-party equipment and systems as needed.
Our networks are the answer to the integration and migration challenge that arises as technologies, needs and standards evolve, whether moving to IP-based solutions, connecting radio equipment within a digital radio network or providing backup radar data...
But while successful mission management focuses on the right data and decision for action today, there is also a need to record and monitor those data and decisions. This isn't (just) about complying with formal safety regulations. Trainers, analysts and investigators also need quick, intuitive access to actionable data records.
DIVOS 3 log is our state-of-the-art recording solution designed to meet these exact needs. Built for scalability, flexibility, usability and security, the system integrates easily into any size of facility, recording a vast array of data and media across a huge number of potential channels.
Of course, the safety and efficiency benefits of integration and networking depend on the collation, presentation and communication of information using tools that allow operators to take decisions and actions quickly and correctly.
Frequentis offers customisable information systems and automation tools that deliver, display and distribute information in the most efficient and safe way for the users.
Multiple input and display devices are replaced with a standard user interface that gives the operator control of the display and management of information and data, improving situational awareness and reducing human error.
These information management and automation tools return control to facilities and controllers, and a modular approach allows them to integrate seamlessly with each other or third-party products.
