X10 - Future of voice communications
Frequentis X10 is a state-of-the-art voice communication system built to meet the demands of tomorrow’s airspace. Designed as a truly next-generation platform, X10 is modular, scalable, and cloud-native, offering unmatched flexibility and adaptability. It provides seamless support for a wide range of operational models from conventional air traffic control environments to virtual centres, remote digital towers, and emerging sectorless flight operations.
Its architecture ensures high availability, resilience, and future-readiness, allowing air navigation service providers to transition smoothly into increasingly complex and digitalised air traffic ecosystems. Frequentis X10 is not just a product it is a long-term solution engineered to evolve with your operational needs.
Key benefits
Combining modular architecture, flexibility, and resilience, the X10 supports operational needs across voice communication and air traffic management through:
- Service-oriented, ATM-grade architecture
- Controller-centric HMI
- Multi-level redundancy options
- Evergreen lifecycle
- Flexibility to support virtualised and conventional airspace concepts
Empowering airspace transformation with intelligent voice communications
Engineered to meet the operational and technical demands of both current and future airspace environments, the Frequentis X10 offers a flexible, software-centric solution. Whether modernising legacy infrastructure or deploying in a greenfield setting, it empowers air navigation service providers to adapt at their own pace.
Designed for maximum interoperability, X10 supports deployment on customer-supplied COTS hardware or Frequentis turnkey platforms, enabling scalable, cost-effective rollouts across conventional towers, virtual centres, and remote operations. With integrated support for dual operations, air-ground communication can be mirrored in real time between main and backup systems, ensuring continuous availability.
The platform’s microservices architecture simplifies system updates and maintenance. Operators can deploy new features or security patches at container level via a secure browser interface, reducing system downtime and IT overhead.
At the heart of X10 is a harmonised, controller-centric HMI. It offers flexible layout configurations, dark/light modes, and gesture-based controls while retaining familiar workflows, making the transition from older systems seamless and training-light.
Building on the power of the Frequentis MosaiX platform, the X10 streamlines integration with existing ATM systems and ensures readiness for future concepts like sectorless flight, UTM integration, and dynamic airspace management.
The Frequentis X10 is more than a VCS, it’s the voice platform for tomorrow’s airspace.
The X10 enables seamless voice communication across both traditional and future-facing airspace operations. Whether supporting a physical tower or powering a virtual centre, X10 adapts to the operational model at hand. Its modular design and flexible deployment allow ANSPs to operate any frequency from any position, even in sectorless or distributed control environments.
Designed for continuous improvement, the X10 follows an Evergreen lifecycle model. With modular, containerised updates and biannual release cycles, your system stays secure, current, and aligned with operational needs, without the disruption of major overhauls. Frequentis supports you every step of the way, from lifecycle and obsolescence management to role-specific training updates.
Security is non-negotiable in critical communications. The X10 is secured by design, using the MosaiX platform to enforce robust, layered protection. The platform supports encrypted IP communication, hardened software containers, and strict access control, all tailored to air traffic management environments. When combined with the Frequentis SBC, its unique security capabilities deliver an unparalleled level of protection.
To ensure uninterrupted service the X10 includes comprehensive redundancy across systems, services, and networks. It supports geographically redundant data centres, dual-path audio, and role-based resource sharing, giving air traffic controllers instant access to backup systems, even on the same screen. With fast switchover between Release 8 and Release 10 and fully independent software stacks, X10 de-risks migration and ensures maximum operational resilience.
Developed with controllers, the X10 features a fully harmonised, intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI). It offers dark/light modes, adaptable layouts, and gesture-based controls. All while preserving the familiar workflows of legacy systems. This dramatically reduces training time and ensures seamless transition across upgrades, while also supporting multi-system operation on shared screens without cognitive overload.
With a microservices-based architecture, the Frequentis X10 empowers ANSPs to scale, adapt, and integrate at speed. Each function is modular and self-contained, enabling independent updates, selective deployments, and streamlined testing. Deployed over Frequentis MosaiX, this architecture simplifies integration with third-party systems and future-proofs your voice solution. Whether expanding capacity, adding new services, or integrating with UTM, it evolves seamlessly with your mission.
