Naviair, the Danish Air Navigation Service Provider, has signed a contract with Indra Navia for
 the upgrade of the GAREX Voice Communication Control System (VCCS) at Copenhagen Control Center (CCC). The scope is controller working position (CWP) replacement and an upgrade from GAREX 220 to GAREX 230 with a Voice over IP (VoIP) interface.

The GAREX 230 is Indra Navia’s latest generation VCCS. It is built on a single hardware and software platform, making the solution simple, flexible and scalable. GAREX is recognized for its high quality and low lifecycle costs – a result of more than 50 years of continuous innovation and experience delivering 270 systems to customers all over the world.

Naviair will replace 235 controller working positions and six communication systems will be upgraded with new generation hardware and software to include VoIP. Copenhagen Control Center will be in full operation during the upgrade, ensuring a smooth transition to the new system.

“Our experience with the current GAREX system is only the best, with high performance year after year. We are very pleased with the support we get from Indra Navia and the upgrade offers the highest economical and technical advantage for Naviair. The upgrade will extend the life expectancy of the current system by at least 10 years and add new functionality like VoIP,” says Bent Fog, Director of Technical Maintenance, Naviair.
