Reliable communications VoIP systems migrate intelligence away from the network core to the peripheral equipment at the network edge.

Compliance with industry standards such as EUROCAE ED-137 ensures a reliable solution for air- ground and ground-ground communications. Transportability and quick setup Transportability of the electronics and system components is of great importance for mobile towers. The VCS ele- ments must comply with relevant industry standards. Fast and efficient operation can be achieved by using a distrib- uted system with intelligent endpoints that ensure a fast system startup time. Space and weight saving Featuring state-of-the-art IP technology, the VCS does not need large, heavy central TDM switches.

The main components of the solution are the fully IP-based R&S®VCS-4G voice communications system and the R&S®Series4200 and R&S®Series2000 radios, all installed on a two-axle trailer with integrated lifting mechanism and detachable ATC cabin. The R&S®MX400 mobile tower is equipped with controller working positions that have ac-cess to VoIP and analog radios and to analog telephone lines.
The mobile tower uses the fully IP-based R&S®VCS-4G voice communications system to provide air traffic control facilities for ATC communications while remaining highly mobile, spacious and efficient.
