Unleash the power of unified air traffic control: CERTIUM VCS virtual center capability

In an era of volatile air traffic and increasing need for flexible resource usage, traditional single-area control center models are no longer sufficient. Rohde & Scharz revolutionizes air trafic management with the CERTIUM VCS virtual center capability, empowering multiple Area Control Centers (ACCs) to operate as a seamless, interconnected network. This innovative solution fosters:

  • More cooperation between centers: Enhancing coordination and information sharing among ACCs for unified decision-making.
  • Flexible sectorization between centers: Enabling dynamic adjustment of responsibility areas based on real-time traffic demand.
  • Workload sharing between centers: Ensuring efficient distribution of workload to smooth peaks and boost overall efficiency.

With CERTIUM VCS, air traffic control centers can optimize their capacity utilization, delivering a more reliable and efficient air traffic service.

Key benefits of CERTIUM VCS virtual center capability

  • Geographically distributed, redundant: Ensure maximum service availability using geo-redundant server locations.
  • Shared resources, enhanced efficiency: Dynamically allocate radio and telephony resources to working positions across centers via high-speed IP network.
  • Flexible operations: Level of cooperation between centers is adjustable in any time from complete independence in operation to full access to all resources and roles.
  • Optimized workload distribution: React to changing weather patterns, reduce costs, and increase staff satisfaction.
  • Disaster recovery and operational continuity: Automatically redistribute resources in case of an outage, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
  • IP-ready, future-proof solution: Aligns with the industry's shift towards flexible, scalable IP architectures.
  • Real-time monitoring and analysis: R&S®AVQA analysis system ensures the reliability and performance of your virtualized ATC environment.
  • EUROCAE ED-136 and ED-137 compliance: CERTIUM components harness the benefits of IP technology for unparalleled flexibility and network resilience.
