
The initiative covers inter centre (encompassing all type of ATM Units)
voice communication and the links with the ground radio Stations;
The objective forecasts that all ECAC States migrate their ATM voice
services to VoIP by the specified Full Operational Capability 12/2020;
Initial Operational Capability (Forward fit) date is 01/2013 for both intercentre telephony and the links to the ground radio stations on the ground
segment of the Air-Ground voice.
Inter centres voice communications are currently mainly performed via
analogue and partially digital circuits (ATS-QSIG) since 2003.
At present VoIP is identified as being the medium term standard for
ground telephony and ground segment of the Air-Ground voice.

Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions
 Voice communications systems have been upgraded;
 The technical file (TF) with evidences of compliance and the EC
declaration of verification of systems (DoV) has been delivered to
the competent National Supervisory Authority (NSA);

ESSIP Report 2013
 Majority of States have an implementation plan. Five
States consider the objective not mature enough to start
planning the implementation;
 35 States have reported the objective ‘Planned’, while
one State has reported it as Late. Five States (DE, DK,
HR, LU and NO) have reported ‘No Plan’ for the time
being;
 The progress compared with the last cycle is as follows:
Two States (HR & NO) have changed the status from
Planned to No Plan. MAS, MD, MT & TR have
postponed the planninng for completion by one year and
AM, IE & MK by two years.

Objective Coordinator’s Analysis,
recommendations, tips & tricks
 Early implementation
 Allows to get the benefit of the IP infrastructure, and
to get early return on investment
 Increases Airspace flexibility within functional
airspace blocks in a multi-vendor operational setting.
 Facilitates business continuity as Telecom service
providers are phasing out their legacy analogue,
64kBit/s based and later 2MBit/s based services.

Conclusions
 VoIP in ATM is a mature standard referenced by
ICAO;
 VoIP in ATM is ready to be deployed over the IP
infrastructure (PENS and ANSPs IP networks);
 VoIP in ATM will increase Airspace flexibility;
 VoIP in ATM will support and facilitate business
continuity.
