Isode Partner Global Weather Dynamics, Inc. (GWDI) completes commissioning of messaging system for the Civil Aviation Administration of Cape Verde
The system installed at the Oceanic Control Center of SAL consists of GWDI’s Message Handling System (MHS), utilising Isode's M-Switch X.400, M-Store X.400 and M-Vault X.500 server products together with GWDI's Aeronautical Information Terminal (AIT) to support ground communication between the operators located in Cape Verde and the countries of Senegal, Portugal and Spain.
(LONDON. - March 1st, 2005) -
The MHS is a multi-protocol, multi-message format message-handling server supporting all the networks, message formats, and procedures used in the aeronautical community. In Cape Verde, The MHS is configured with the AFTN and AMHS (X.400) message handling procedures including an AFTN/AMHS Gateway. It is connected to the Airtel ATN Router for the connection to the
Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN). The MHS also supports an interface to Indra’s Flight Data Processing System (FDPS). The AIT provides the tools for the operators to send and receive aeronautical messages in the AFTN and AMHS (X.400) formats.
The system was supplied through a subcontract to Indra ATM and as part of the SISASTAL project. "The System is the first ATM System in the world with capacity to provide ATN (aeronautical telecommunications network) capabilities for Flight Plan data and ADS/CPDLC functions" said Pedro Merino, Indra ATM Program Manager.
"The Cape Verde project is the result of GWDI’s continuing commitment for designing and implementing state of the art systems for the CAA market in compliance with new ICAO and Eurocontrol requirements" said John Fort, Chief Operating Officer at GWDI.
