KVM FROM G&D IT control that towers LEADING THE WAY IN above the rest DIGITAL KVM From the ANSP to the controller to the technician, everyone’s better off with KVM.

For the service provider, KVM adds flexibility to IT infrastructure. It enables emergency work-arounds, improves workflows, adds reliability to redundancy concepts and provides continuous, uninterrupted IT availability.

ATCOs enjoy a computer-free environment. Moving the computers to a central location creates less noise, less heat and more space to create better working conditions in the control room. And the system’s more reliable too!

With KVM, technicians can access several systems from a range of locations - not just their workplace. Administration is made easier and maintenance too: the computers are stored centrally so no more crawling under desks. There’s also more time for maintenance because ATCOs can be simply switched to a back-up system whenever it’s required.

For optimum IT system control, improved working conditions and increased system safety, there’s only one all-round answer – KVM from G&D.

To date, air traffic control agencies have been the strongest proponents of AeroMACS adoption. The technology plays a crucial role in maintaining security and safety standards as air traffic congestion grows.

Partners The local and sub-regional Air- space Management System LARA from EUROCONTROL supports the Airspace Management Cell in find- ing an optimum solution to satisfy the requests of military and civil airspace users by applying a cooperative process of collaborative decision making. Via a direct interface, LARA and OPTARION exchange Gold Media Partners airspace information to support the decision making process.

Due to fusion of civil and military flight plan information with Silver Media Partners surveillance track data and consider- ation of airspace status information, the ATC/AD user has an increased ATM Global situational awareness. Via a direct Business interface, DMAS and OPTARION exchange flight plan information while LARA provides real-time airspace status information. For mission monitoring purposes, DMAS provides re- 16 al-time track information of the mission aircraft to OPTARION.
