COM11.1 — Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in En-Route
This Implementation Objective aims at an efficient use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) by harmonised and coordinated implementation for ground/ground and ground part of ground/air aeronautical communications, ensuring network benefits from VoIP implementation.
The initiative covers inter-centre (encompassing all type of ATM Units) voice communication and the links with the ground radio stations. COM11.1 is applicable to ‘En-Route’ and ‘Network’ Operating Environments. Inter-centre voice communications not yet migrated to VoIP are currently performed via analogue and digital circuits.
This legacy ATM voice services will soon no longer be supported by the European telecommunication service providers, making the use of new technology necessary. At present and in order to follow the evolution of the communication technologies, ATM-VoIP is the global standard (ICAO DOC 9896 ed2, based on EUROCAE ED137) for ground telephony and ground segment of the Air-Ground voice. ATM-VoIP industrial standard (EUROCAE ED-137) is maintained and evolved over time to ensure that voice communication requirements are met. Transition towards VoIP is bringing interoperability.
Cross-border aspects need to be addressed appropriately within the network perspective. VoIP in ATM constitutes an essential part of Network Operational Excellence Programme WST13.5 – IP Services and VoIP.
This project aims at an efficient use of Voice over Internet Protocol by harmonised and coordinated implementation for ground/ground and ground part of ground/air aeronautical communications, ensuring network benefits from VoIP implementation.
NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.
