MUNICH, Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- State-of-the-art
radios for air traffic control (ATC) must be reliable, compact and
future-ready. The R&S Series4200 ATC radios from Rohde &
Schwarz meet all these requirements, which is why the Chinese CAAC
Air Traffic Management Bureau uses and trusts these products.
China's CAAC has purchased a total of 294 ATC radios to be
installed at 20 locations in the CAAC Northwest air traffic control
region. The order is the largest that Rohde & Schwarz has won
so far for the airspace in Northwestern China. The R&S
Series4200 radios are used for communications between the flight
operation centers on the ground and the aircraft. Kenny Wu,
Managing Director of Rohde & Schwarz China Trading Ltd., is
justifiably proud: "We have been supplying state-of-the-art ATC
radio equipment to Chinese customers for more than 25 years. This
order is proof again of the trust and confidence placed in our
company."
The tight delivery schedule was especially challenging. "The
customer urgently needed the radios due to the constantly
increasing number of flights. We succeeded in considerably reducing
the normal delivery periods. Engineers from Rohde & Schwarz
supported on-site installation. This helped us ensure that the
system meets the performance requirements," states Kenny Wu of
Rohde & Schwarz China.
R&S Series4200 radio are used for voice communications between
air traffic controllers and pilots. They are extremely reliable and
can be updated, monitored and remote-controlled via an IP-based
network so that software updates require no on-site personnel. They
adhere to the latest international standards and in addition,
provide VoIP functionality and VDL2 for reliable ground-air data
communications. These features make the radios economical and ready
for the future - key criteria for meeting CAAC's
requirements.
