Communication System MULTIFONO® M800IP®

Overview
MULTIFONO® M800IP® Voice Communication System (VCS) is SITTI's VoIP-based platform designed to meet Air Traffic Control operational and maintenance requirements. It integrates native VoIP, digital, analogue and legacy non-IP interfaces to provide a unified communication solution supporting multiple protocols and gateways.

Architectures

• M800IP® Server – COTS multiple-servers architecture.
• M800IP® Distributed Cards – multi-redundant blade-based distribution.

Main technical and operational characteristics

• Fully ED-137 compliant with proven interoperability and global deployments.
• Data and audio communications natively VoIP-based with an open architecture focused on modularity, scalability and distributed processing.
• Supports geographical distribution of Controller Working Positions (CWPs) and VCS resources.
• Integrates VoIP, digital, analogue and legacy non-IP interfaces via a wide range of gateways (GVS interfaces).
• Duplicated, parallel-operation star architecture and geographically distributed subunits to ensure continuous operation and fault tolerance.
• Designed to avoid single points of failure and to provide very high availability (declared reliability ratio: 99.9999%).
• Integrated management and supervision software platform for system control and monitoring.
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) devices that present operational information to controllers.

Targeted operational domains

• Air Traffic Control (ATC)
• Defence (military communications across air, sea and land)
• Public Safety (dispatch centres, first responders and partner agencies)
• Maritime (port authorities, vessel traffic services and port operations)
