This Implementation Project aims to complete the evolution of the existing ENAIRE’s aeronautical data network (REDAN), to ensure an agreed level of Ground-Ground interconnectivity between ENAIRE ATSUs (Air Traffic Service Units) and stakeholders as required to facilitate information exchange with the communication requirements of new applications (SWIM based, System Wide Information Management).

Due to a contingency strategy of ENAIRE to protect the air navigation system (currently under implementation), the communication architecture of some users will be modified, and, consequently, new hardware and effort are required to implement it. Additionally, upon completing the preliminary validation tests for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) integration, a more complex hardware infrastructure has been identified as highly recommended to improve redundancy.

This project continues the work started with the project under the 2014 Call (059AF5 - Implementation of an IP-based Ground/Ground data communication network in ENAIRE, Action 2014-EU-TM-0136-M) to be carried out from 2018 to 2020, and additional activities aimed at satisfying the specific connectivity users requirements which were not completely defined at the beginning of the previous project.

This Implementation Project will improve the service quality and has also a positive effect on safety and security.
