KLIA extension by SITTI

The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is a very busy airport in the Far East, which SITTI has already provided a number of solutions for air traffic control. The Eastern and Western towers of this large airport require extensions for interfacing new radios, namely 19 radio receivers plus 18 radio transmitters.

SITTI will therefore supply all needed equipment for the proper handling of these new radio connections, also including BSS (Best Signal Selection) functions that automatically choose the best received audio from different receivers operating on the same frequency. All the new boards are envisaged to be physically installed in the already existing racks placed in the two towers, thus not requiring any additional space in the respective equipment rooms.

The extension is going to be installed in the next few months to cope with the agreed SAT time schedule, according to which all activities shall be completed by the end of next March.

The new boards are added to the existing VCS (Voice Communication System) without disruption of ongoing services, so that their smooth and seamless introduction will allow ATCOs to immediately access the new communication facilities without experiencing any outage of the system.
