
by 2015 a new modernization stage, started in 2010, for the
ROMATSA Comm. Network (STcR) will be finalized
The ROMATSA Comm. Network Project (STcR) started in
2000, in order to
 Enable full compliant ATM services over a multiservice converged network
which integrates voice (including VoIP) and data communications, securely
and reliably
 Easily manage communications network:
 one network instead of multiple separate networks
 one technology instead of multiple technologies
 Dramatically cutting costs and enhance flexibility and manageability of
communications services

Backbone level: routers for WAN level data
exchange between the main network nodes.
Access level: routers for data exchange
between the backbone and the final users


Increase internal data processing capacity
Improve availability, safety and security by
reducing the number of tasks/router. Less
task unavailable in case of router failure.
Simple maintenance procedures.
Increase flexibility to add new dedicated
functionalities regarding security and
monitoring for backbone routers, like:
intrusion detection, network traffic analysis,
Firewall.

radar data exchange:
 Installation of the main and back-up digital circuits (2Mbps or nx64kbps
circuits) between ANSPs and ROMATSA
 Establish necessary communication equipment (other than that provided by
the telecom company) to implement new digital circuits and links between
ACCs.
 Digital circuits cost analysis
 LoA amendments to include digital circuits support for voice and data (OLDI,
and radar)
 Analysis of the possibility to use existent digital infrastructure with common
neighbors (Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria) as back-up for the new digital lines.


RNAV Infrastructure development for PBN (DVOR/DME):
 ROMATSA has
implemented
appropriate
terrestrial navigation
infrastructure to support en-route and TMA RNAV operations.
 In order to improve DME-DME coverage:
 in the center of Romania (Cluj TMA), 4 new en-route DME systems were
installed in 2011.
 in the Eastern part of Romania, 2 new en-route DME systems are
planned to be installed in 2012 and 2013 in Iasi and Bacau.
 In order to maintain availability of existing VOR/DME systems ROMATSA
planned to replace:
 By 2013, last 2 CVOR/DME systems with new DVOR/DME systems
 By 2015, 9 old DVOR/DME with new DVOR/DME systems

 NAVIGATION SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION
 In 2011 ROMATSA and BULATSA has signed an agreement on shared use of
radio navigation aids for area navigation between Romania and Bulgaria.
 Future development of the Romanian en-route NAV infrastructure will be
designed at DANUBE FAB level.

In order to rationalize NAV aids infrastructure for PBN, ROMATSA:
 Planned for withdraw all NDBs for en-route, by 2013
 Replaced in 2011, 20 NDBs for terminal navigation services. The NDB
systems were replaced in order to maintain non-precision back-up procedures
for approach and landing.
 4 old NDB systems for terminal navigation services will be withdrawn in
2013.

ROMATSA also installed a Wide Area Multilateration System
(WAM TRANSYLVANIA) which became operational from
2012
WAM system provides radar coverage for the new Cluj TMA which
is located in central part of Romania between the Carpathian
Mountains.
Difficult terrain and layout of Cluj, Târgu Mureş and Sibiu airports,
situated in the lowlands between hills, necessitated the adoption
of a multilateration solution to ensure operational requirements at
very low altitudes, practically from the runway level.
