AirNav Indonesia (Makassar ATS Centre) expands voice and recording systems with FREQUENTIS

The site acceptance test of a new recording and investigation solution took place during May of this year at Makassar ATS Centre. Frequentis was awarded the contract by AirNav Indonesia. By equipping two important area control centres in this region with DIVOS 3 log, Frequentis intensifies its presence in the Southeast Asian market. The solution will enhance the airspace security through providing higher quality information for documentation and training purposes.

AirNav Indonesia already relies on Frequentis’ voice communication systems. In addition to updating the existing solutions in place, they will expand an additional thirteen working positions and support additional radio channels and telephone lines. Furthermore in December 2015, Frequentis was awarded the contract for equipping two area control centres, in the cities of Jakarta and Makassar, with the recording and investigation solution DIVOS 3 log. The solution enables the management of recording and investigation centrally. Easily integrated into existing tower systems, it is possible to monitor smaller airports centrally from Jakarta or Makassar in the future.

“The recording and investigation solution provided by Frequentis will enhance the security in our airspace in the future through providing the best information for documentation and training purposes”, Pantaryanto Novy, General Manager at Makassar Air Traffic Control, said.

DIVOS 3 log provides multimedia recording and investigation including audio (voice) and screen data. The recording of screen data enables an exact evaluation and analysis of airborne situations and allowing controllers to be better trained for congested airspace scenarios. Furthermore, it supports the analysis and improvement of graphical user interfaces, the way controllers work and helps to identify opportunities to optimise and increase controller efficiency.

“All recordings are available on a safe, cost-effective platform deployed on servers with the highest redundancy functionalities. Frequentis is leading the way in VoIP-based recording in compliance with EUROCAE’s (European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment) ED-137 standards. We are proud to broaden our relationship with AirNav Indonesia through expanding voice communication and the addition of recording and investigation systems. DIVOS 3 log will support new possibilities for further training purposes”, Hannu Juurakko, Vice President ATM Civil at Frequentis, added
