Frequentis delivers its IP-based voice communication system (VCS) to the Norwegian air navigation service provider AVINOR to power the first remote tower system in this Nordic country. The VCS will play a pivotal role in proving the viability of remote tower operations within the scope of a SESAR validation exercise.

The Frequentis voice communication system is an essential building block of the remote tower system. Over the coming month, AVINOR will operationally evaluate the remote tower system with Frequentis and all SESAR project partners. This validation exercise will prove it is possible to provide ATC service at an airport from a centre located hundreds of kilometres away. The validation will also provide operational feedback for designing future voice communication systems able to handle simultaneous ATC operations at multiple remote aerodromes from a single centralised controller working position (CWP).
