We keep it that way.
Cloud, big data and the internet of things (IoT) are much-debated key IP based technologies that are being used in ever expanding areas of application in both the private and public sectors. IP based technology is even gaining ground in critical infrastructures such as the energy supply (smart grid/smart meter). Previously physically separated control networks are now converging with the classic, public IT infrastructure.
Modern IP technology is also finding its way into the field of air traffic control (ATC). High-performance backbone networks and classic protocols such as internet telephony (VoIP) enable efficient and secure air traffic control – beyond existing geographical and technical boundaries.
