“The Frequentis system has many positive references, both globally and in this region, as well as its experience with similar projects.”

It features a number of workload sharing and networking capabilities making it a critical element for any successful implementation of dynamic sectorisation, or Virtual Air Traffic Control.

Bayanat Engineering CNS, ATM & MET Division general manager Johnson Philips said: “The Frequentis system has many positive references, both globally and in this region, as well as its experience with similar projects. We are looking forward to a successful project completion.”

The Frequentis system helps to combine the existing analogue and digital radio infrastructure, which will allow the Sharjah airport to manage all communications between the tower and the cockpit with minimal air-ground delay.
