Frequentis AG: Aerocivil of Colombia advances aeronautical message handling system with FREQUENTIS virtualisation technology

Vienna / Austria (pta012/23.10.2024/10:36) -
* Frequentis is upgrading Aerocivil's AMHS system with an advanced virtualised solution, enhancing their message handling capabilities
* This project underscores Frequentis' commitment to advancing air traffic management in Latin America

Frequentis and the Unidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil) are undertaking a transformative aeronautical message handling system (AMHS) upgrade project, with FRISSON Technologies serving as the prime contractor. This upgrade will elevate Aerocivil's message handling capabilities to the forefront of modern aviation technology through an innovative virtualised solution.

The project continues the public bidding process initiated by Colombia's Civil Aviation Authority in 2009 with the deployment of the message handling system, which was later updated in 2016. With the latest enhancement, Aerocivil's systems will receive a comprehensive upgrade, followed by dedicated service support from Frequentis to ensure ongoing operational stability.

"This system upgrade provides Aerocivil with cutting-edge virtualisation technology, enabling enhanced operational efficiency and reliability. It has been a smooth transition to the new system, thanks to the familiarity of Aerocivil's teams with Frequentis' products, reducing potential disruption during the upgrade process," says Carlos Uriel Barragán, secretary for air navigation services at Aerocivil.

This AMHS system upgrade represents an important milestone in the development of aviation communications in the region, highlighting the importance of robust, virtualised solutions in enhancing air traffic management (ATM) operations.

"For Frequentis, Aerocivil is a significant reference, reflecting its strong commitment to supporting ATM infrastructure in Latin America. With Colombia's strategic geographical position as a major hub for Pan-American air traffic, this upgrade reinforces Frequentis' role as a leading AMHS system supplier in the region," says Constantin von Reden, Managing Director of Frequentis Comsoft and member of the OneATM Executive Team.
