			<title>EAD celebrates 10th anniversary</title>
			<link>http://www.frequentis.com/en/uk/press-events/news-and-press-releases/detail/article/ead-celebrates-10th-anniversary/</link>
			<description>World's largest aeronautical information system is based on FREQUENTIS technology</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>EUROCONTROL: “At the time of its launch 10 years ago, the European Aeronautical Information Services Database (EAD) was, in its own way, revolutionary.” Today EAD is more revolutionary than ever before.</b>
Imagine an aeronautical information management system that allows 50,000 named users to concurrently access a vast amount of data. One that covers, for example: 
<ul><li>30,000 aerodromes/heliports </li><li>350 flight information regions (FIRs) </li><li>100,000 waypoints </li><li>7,000 non-directional beacon (NDB) navigational aids (navaids) </li><li>8,000 very high frequency (VHF) navaids </li><li>11,000 air traffic service (ATS) routes </li></ul>
Imagine an aeronautical information management system that has: 
<ul><li>grown its user base by an average 32% each year since 2003increased annual license sales by an average 24% each year since 2003 </li><li>been able to cope with annual growth of 45% in flight plan-related messages since 2011 </li></ul>
Imagine an aeronautical information management system layout that: 
<ul><li>has processed 1,600,000 flight plan-related messages since November 2012 </li><li>handles almost 60,000 worldwide notices to airman (NOTAMs) each month </li></ul>
This is EAD, the world’s largest aeronautical information management (AIM) system: a system owned by EUROCONTROL, developed by Frequentis and jointly operated by GroupEAD Europe S.L. and Frequentis, based on strict adherence to the highest EUROCONTROL quality standards. A centralised reference database of quality-assured aeronautical information and a fully-integrated, state-of-the-art AIM solution form EAD’s strong backbone. 
The EAD concept, where the location of servers and data sources is no longer important (similar to cloud computing), allows organisations to concentrate on their key competencies. The main benefits of such a distributed system are: 
<ul><li>Lower data backup and maintenance costs </li><li>Lower data recovery costs </li><li>Cost sharing through regional approaches </li><li>More opportunity for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to sell services </li></ul>
These advantages have allowed EAD to grow beyond its original geographic context, i.e. the 46 member states of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC). Currently, eight states outside the ECAC area have decided to participate and enjoy the benefits of EAD, including Canada, New Zealand and the Philippines. Seven more - led by Kazakhstan and South Africa - are currently at various stages along the road to active participation. 
<b>How everything began</b> <br />Frequentis was contracted back in 1999 to develop and supply the European AIS database. The system went into operation - on schedule - on 6 June 2003. This was a milestone in Europe’s aviation history: for the first time, the idea of &quot;one single sky for Europe&quot; became reality! 
Frequentis has remained responsible for system development and integration for this first fully-integrated AIM system. Since its first implementation in 2003, the Frequentis AIM solution (now known as “smartAIM”) has continued to undergo further development.]]></content:encoded>

			<title>13th ICNS conference a success for FREQUENTIS</title>
			<link>http://www.frequentis.com/en/uk/press-events/news-and-press-releases/detail/article/13th-icns-conference-a-success-for-frequentis/</link>
			<description>This year’s Integrated Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (ICNS) conference was held in Washington DC from April 23 - 25.</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The ICNS covered long-term research and development, as well as the current implementation of integrated CNS technologies. The aim of the event was to demonstrate the significant improvements in safety and airspace efficiency envisaged by programs such as NextGen and the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) initiative. The conference once more demonstrated how global ATM services are merging within SESAR and NextGen. Frequentis attended ICNS and gave two presentations: one on the “Aerodrome Map Information Service” (April 23) and another on “Distributed Multiple Independent Layers of Security (MILS)” (April 25). 
The Frequentis contribution on the Aerodrome Map Information Service was a joint venture with NORCAON/LFV, the Swedish civil aviation administration. It drew on some impressive research results from Frequentis, spreading insights across the Atlantic from SESAR to NextGen. 
The service will encourage further technical developments in line with refined operational concepts. These include common situational awareness (shared by tower and ground personnel), automated taxiing network operations, and general airport layout information providing baseline data for various applications. The approach taken with the service model reuses concepts from existing standards (the ISO 19000 series) in alignment with data payload standards from RTCA DO-272C/EUROCAE ED-99C and RTCA DO-291B/EUROCAE ED-119B. This seems the best way to minimise the effort required to reach the desired level of global interoperability.
Distributed MILS introduces a concept for dependable information and communication infrastructures, as applied to ATM voice and data services. It allows selected information elements to reside in different domains, but prohibits the propagation of faults from one domain to another, thereby enabling valid business continuity design.]]></content:encoded>
