June 24, 2015 - The Irish Aviation Authority
(IAA) has today commenced operations with the
Rohde & Schwarz VCS-4G Voice Communications
Control System (VCCS), which will enable the IAA
and ISAVIA to become the World’s first “cross
border” Aeronautical Communications
Center.
The VCCS is located at the Irish Aviation
Authority’s North Atlantic Communications
facility. ISAVIA has an identical VCCS at its
communication facility at
Gufunes, Iceland, which will enable both individual units
to operate as one
Virtual
Center.
The system will be used to provide aeronautical
communications services, using High Frequency
(HF), Very High Frequency (VHF) and SATVOICE
operations on up to 30 separate receivers in the
Shanwick and the Reykjavik Oceanic Control areas
under joint operations with ISAVIA’s “Iceland
Radio”.
