Under the deal, the British ANSP will be responsible for the development, design and deployment of the new VCS system, which is built around the Internet Protocol (IP)-based Frequentis 3020X VCS and Jotron transmitters and receivers.

The new VCS system is to be implemented at Bristol Airport and will offer a clear and effective solution that can address the airport’s present, as well as future technical requirements.

The modern equipment will be installed around the airfield and in the air traffic control (ATC) tower itself and be capable of improving voice clarity and upgrading the airport with the latest technology.

It will also ensure that the system is well equipped to be connected with technological advances of the future.
