Key facts
The compact S5200 radios combine a secure and flexible architecture with excellent RF performance for reliable ATC communications.
The R&S®Series5200 is an advanced and fully integrated network element that provides a radio connection to the aircraft for voice or data ATC communications.
It requires almost no scheduled maintenance. The comprehensive remote control capabilities and an extremely simplified radio replacement concept dramatically decrease the need for intervention by highly qualified engineering personnel at the radio stations.
The R&S®Series5200 is part of CERTIUM, an advanced ATC communications suite that increases safety and efficiency beyond existing standards. CERTIUM Radios, are the perfect match for CERTIUM VCS and CERTIUM Management.
Multiple network interfaces for full integration flexibility
Six Ethernet interfaces ensure full integration flexibility in diverse system configurations. With a simple configuration, the R&S®Series5200 radio can manage the network traffic of up to three separate networks, e.g. main and backup voice networks and the monitoring network. Each network can be configured separately to match the requirements of different infrastructures.
Multiple Ethernet ports
Five Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the radio are available for remote connections. One interface on the front is dedicated to local configuration.
Web based interface for intuitive and easy configuration
The R&S®Series5200 radios are configured using a secure, modern, user-friendly, browser-based graphical user interface (webGUI). Access to the webGUI is secured by an https connection. It can be accessed either locally via the maintenance port on the front panel or remotely over the available IP connections. For efficient deployment planning of the radio stations, the configuration of the radios can be easily exported, imported and edited offline.

Maintenance free operation with automatic oscillator calibration
Although the S5200 radios are provided with a high-performance reference oscillator, periodic calibration may still be necessary. If an NTP time server is available in the system, the radio automatically compensates for the aging effects of the oscillator, making the R&S®Series5200 radio a maintenance free device.
Fast and error free radio replacement with R-ID card
In the unlikely event that a R&S®Series5200 radio needs to be replaced at the radio station, it can be very quickly replaced without any radio specific knowledge and without any possibility of mistakes. If a radio needs to be replaced, simply extract the R-ID card from the faulty radio and plug it into the spare radio. The correct software, configuration and options are loaded and the spare radio is immediately ready for operation.
Radio-ID card slot at bottom right of rear
The removable radio identity (R-ID) card in the radio hosts the radio’s software, configuration and options.
True network separation down to the core
The innovative R&S®Series5200 architecture with ist advanced multicore hardware – combined with sophisticated software isolation techniques – provides redundant and fully independent connectivity to main and backup networks. Any security issue appearing on one network will neither impair the operation of the radio nor affect the performance of the other networks, resulting in increased resilience of the entire radiocommunications system.
