Vienna (pta018/24.02.2020/13:03 UTC+1) * Delivery of a nationwide air traffic management network
* Software solution for an airspace twice the size of Europe
* Successful commissioning of the first CINDACTA region underlines Frequentis performance

The Brazilian air traffic control authorities DECEA and CISCEA have been working with Frequentis AG (ISIN: ATFREQUENT09) to implement a nationwide network for air traffic control (ATC). The airspace of Brazil, the fifth largest state in the world in terms of area and population, is divided into four so-called CINDACTAS ("Centro Integrado de Defesa Aérea e Controle de Tráfego Aéreo").

The contract for a nationwide network for voice and data integration, based on the latest Frequentis IP technology, was awarded in 2014. Frequentis has worked closely with the customer to carry out extensive preliminary work in terms of the system design to overcome challenges and complexities and ensure a smooth transition to the new software solution. The first of the four planned integrated network control centres, CINDACTA III, has now been in operation for around five months. Prior to commissioning, a comprehensive test phase, carried out by CISCEA (the commission for the implementation of the Brazilian air traffic control system), has already gathered positive feedback from the operational experience.

The new network will enable the authorities to further enhance the reliability, resilience, and efficiency of nationwide air traffic control. This covers an area of 22 million km^2, which posed a particular challenge for the technical infrastructure. The commissioning of CINDACTA III (with its center in Recife, located in northeastern Brazil), is an important milestone for the further rollout.

"We are delighted about the excellent partnership between CISCEA and Frequentis, which made it possible to master the challenges of such a complex programme with a wide range of technologies and stakeholders", says Frequentis CEO Norbert Haslacher. "Brazil can be proud of its innovative strength with the introduction of a world-class ATM network. This infrastructure meets all future needs of Brazilian airspace in terms of capacity, safety, and efficiency".
