VoIP technology and its application to Air Traffic Service Ground Voice Networks

From chatting over the internet to replacing whole telecommunications networks, VoIP means different things to different people. In general, VoIP involves changes to many aspects of how audio is transferred between points, which brings with it certain advantages and certain disadvantages. EUROCAE documents specifying VoIP interface requirements, interoperable functionality, network aspects and testing have now been released. Work has begun to develop compliant Telephone, Radio and Recorder Voice over IP interfaces. The introduction of Voice over IP for ATS Ground Voice Telephone and Radio Networks is starting to cause a gradual evolution with the migration from the circuit switched and TDM based VCS communication infrastructures in operation today towards a future converged common multimedia IP network infrastructure for both voice and data services. IP Technology now has the true potential to fulfil operational and technical ATM communication requirements. Course objectives
