Transitioning to IP with the modern R&S Series5200 radios and the R&S RCMS II remote monitoring and management system will enhance KLIA’s ATC operations, Rohde & Schwarz said, ensuring seamless and reliable communication between air traffic controllers and pilots.
Under this project, Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with local Malaysian aviation company, Clearwisdom as the winning contractor for the project, will deliver a significant number of R&S Series5200 radios in a transmitter/receiver configuration, providing redundant and reliable communication for ATC operations. The system will be complemented by the R&S RCMS II re-mote monitoring and management system, which will be integrated into the existing infrastructure. All of these are part of CERTIUM, an advanced communications suite for ATC.
“This modernisation marks a significant milestone for Malaysia, as KLIA transitions from traditional analogue radios to a digital, IP-based system that is fully compliant with ED137 standards. Building on a long-standing trusted partnership, CAAM has awarded this complex project to Rohde & Schwarz based on the exceptional reliability and performance of Rohde & Schwarz over the last decades,” said Dato' Captain Norazman Bin Mahmud, chief executive officer of CAAM.
“We are proud to have been selected by CAAM to modernise the KLIA radio communications system,” said Marius Münstermann, vice president market segment ATC at Rohde & Schwarz. “Our CERTIUM solution will provide a robust, future-proof platform for the authority’s ATC operations, ensuring the safety and efficiency of air traffic management.
“The key benefits of this upgrade include simplified maintenance and a secure-by-design approach, ensuring the highest levels of security and integrity for ATC operations,” he explained.
