• French DSNA and Frequentis deliver a new voice communication system to enhance air traffic safety, resilience, and coordination in western France
• The system is now fully operational following regulatory approval, marking a key milestone in the joint modernisation programme

Frequentis and the French air navigation service provider Direction des Services de la Navigation Aérienne (DSNA) have announced the full operational status of the new voice communication system at the Brest Area Control Centre (ACC). The system supports more flexible, reliable air traffic management across France and Europe.

The project is part of the Functional Airspace Block Europe Central (FABEC) voice communication system programme, developed in cooperation with EUROCONTROL’s Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC). Frequentis supplied its VCS3020X system, tailored to meet DSNA’s requirements.

• Estonian Air Navigation Services (EANS) has gone live with Digital NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) services using the Frequentis CADAS product suite
• One of the first operational digital NOTAM implementations in Europe
• Milestone supports the transition to fully digital, interoperable aeronautical information management (AIM)

This milestone reflects the growing momentum of digital AIM across Europe and the industry's transition from traditional text-based information handling to a fully digital, integrated aeronautical data environment. By enabling structured, machine-readable aeronautical information, Digital NOTAM services improve safety, operational efficiency, and the seamless exchange of information across the aviation ecosystem.

"Seeing EANS become one of the first air navigation service providers in Europe to bring Digital NOTAM services into operational use is an important milestone in the digital transformation of aviation," says Josef Kutschi, Managing Director of Frequentis Comsoft. "We are proud to support EANS in taking a leading role in the digital transformation of AIM across Europe and helping to build the interoperable information services that will shape the future of ATM."
