This VSATPlus® network continues to connect CAAC’s Aerotelenet Company (ATNC) headquarters offices and regional control centers in a full mesh network. All sites support a complex mix of Air Traffic Control voice and data communications including; VHF voice, ILS, Radar traffic, ADS-B, Weather, Flight plan and traffic. A combination of pre-assigned (PAMA) and on-demand (DAMA) voice circuits are provided for normal telephony traffic as well as hotline applications (for example, VHF voice for Air Traffic Controllers). Data communications include both circuit-switched (synchronous and asynchronous), providing the necessary transmission facilities for such applications as radar multicasting, LAN to LAN connectivity, client-server applications and general corporate communications. Another important application to be supported by the network is the ability to provide backup connectivity to the ATMB’s terrestrial network as well as primary communications for remote airports.

The VSATPlus® family of terminals provides a full mesh, hubless network with no single point of failure and offers the greatest ease of network configuration and expansion. It supports the most demanding network applications including high quality voice, low and high-speed data, video conferencing and fax—all in a single low-cost, integrated platform.
