The Hong Kong demonstration emphasised the practical advantages of utilising system-wide information management (SWIM) technology over the common regional virtual private network (CRV). According to Frequentis, the joint initiative is a significant step towards modernising air traffic management in the Asia-Pacific region.
The primary objective of this two-day event was to showcase the feasibility and advantages of integrating SWIM data over CRV, while also encouraging Asia-Pacific states to adopt SWIM within the implementation timelines of 2024-2030, as outlined by the Asia/Pacific Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Work Group (APANPIRG).
“The successful demonstration of SWIM over CRV offers numerous benefits to users, including enhanced situational awareness and improved decision-making capabilities,” said John Fort, CEO at Frequentis California. “Air traffic controllers and operators will have access to real-time, accurate information, leading to more efficient and safer air traffic management. This integration ensures that destinations, such as Hong Kong, can be aware of incoming flights well in advance, optimising flow management and reducing delays.”
Over the course of the two days, Frequentis systems enabled the sharing and display of crucial surveillance, flight, and weather information. Its technology ensures that real-time data is collected, shared, and displayed effectively, allowing air traffic operators to manage flights with greater accuracy and efficiency, the company said.
