Sitti has commissioned a voice control system to the Southern Region Air Traffic Services Company in Vietnam.

This is the first time Italian company Sitti has supplied a large system to Vietnam.

Sitti’s Multifono M800IP voice communication system (VCS) has been installed at the ACC (Area Control Centre) in Ho Chi Minh, in the Southern part of the country. Sitti was responsible for the supply, installation, configuration, setting to work, integration and commissioning of the VCS and its associated equipment, tools and services for SORATS (Southern Region Air Traffic Services Company) , with the support and help of the local company VATM (Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation).

The M800IP system supplied includes 36 Controller Working Positions with full radio, telephone and intercom facilities to access a large number of analogue radio and telephone channels and lines. The system is natively ready to be expanded to also include Voice over IP links, by simply changing the system configuration through the Technical and Monitoring Control system also part of the delivery.

The number of controllers using the VCS can be expanded easily in the future and radio and telephone connections of any kind can be added without causing any system disruption.

Main/Standby automatic switching modules and radio Best Signal Selection boards complete the system, giving ATCOs (air traffic controller operators) the facilities to properly and effectively manage the air traffic directed to or departing from Vietnam, or flying over it.

Giulio Panzeri, program manager at Sitti said, “This is the first time we supply such a large system to Vietnam. This makes us proud because of the recognition of the high quality standards of our products, once again testified by achievements like this. We are sure SORATS will benefit of the top-level reliability and expandability of the supplied system.”
