Reach new heights in air traffic control safety

Give controllers a broad grasp of the entire network.

A versatile system such as CERTIUM needs an equally versatile user interface to accommodate all its functions while remaining tidy and structured. The R&S®GB5400 controller working positions provide a clean and intuitive GUI for users. They employ the IP network architecture's functionality to the fullest to make forwarding and cross-coupling calls across platforms easier than ever before. With the flexibility of using externa audioboxes the R&S®GB5400 is a powerful platform which can be adjusted to any customer needs

Features & benefits

Cross-functional interface

Straightforward air-ground and ground-ground communications from a common GUI

The controller working position (CWP) is the main command interface to the various VCS system functions. The R&S®GB5400 Standard CWP combines ground-ground and air-ground communications into one interface for flexible system adjustment. For example, the controller can easily cross-couple HF and VHF channels together from the CWP or cross-connect any of them to a phone line.

**Coordinate voice between different media.** - Put your controllers in command with powerful and intuitive CWPs.

Full IP system

State-of-the-art IP network architecture

As the principal topology at the heart of the CERTIUM universe, the full IP netwotk architecture provides a common communication standard between all individual devices. The quad-redundant design provides the controller with all the advantages of scalable architecture, such as a virtual center or flexible allocation of resources, while adding an additional layer of security. Controllers also benefit from additional system integration features such as live camera feeds on the CWP screen.

**Signature R&S quad redundant IP architecture** - Extend the scope of a CWP system beyond legacy standards.

Flexible architecture

Modular system design

The R&S®GB5400 standard controller working positions utilize intelligent software. Following the modular design paradigm, the device fully match customer requirements. By extending this modular framework typical for our hardware solutions to software, we have created a genuinely versatile platform for a whole new level of customization.

**All around integration for functional synergy** - A broad range of modular are available for both CWP form factors and enhance the universal use case.

Reliability through redundancy

Following the strict R&S quad-redundancy principles

Rohde & Schwarz believes in unconditional safety and provides the technology to guarantee it with no compromises. Our entire VCS system setup is built on redundant network interfaces. Together with redundant power supplies for every network device, they ensure maximum availability in any situation. Our quad-redundant topology goes one step further, enabling one CWP to connect to multiple VCSs, so as to minimize the probability and impact of a single device failure.
