VOICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
DECENTRALISED SWITCHING
The major part of the application software of the VCS 3020X runs fully distributed in the
peripheral devices. The critical switching and routing core software is kept simple. The
fully decentralised call control leads to the unrivalled resilience of the system against
software failures. Audio is switched with Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Data is
routed within the core system via dedicated IP-based data links.

THE VCS 3020X MEE
DEMANDS – NOW AND
VOICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS – THE VCS 3020X OPENS UP A WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS
ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of the VCS 3020X balances optimal performance and
low risk communications and is based on a legacy of proven systems
unrivalled in safety and reliability.
FREQUENTIS HAS CHOSEN AN EVOLU-
The VCS 3020X provides integrated voice communications for radio,
telephone and intercom in one unique system with unlimited conferencing capabilities.
VCS 3020X RELEASE 4.0 IN 2004,
The VCS 3020X provides any operator access to all communication
channels, regardless of the system load at any side and any time.
MIGRATION TO IP-ENVIRONMENTS
THE FIBRE OPTIC SYSTEM BACKBONE
NOW, THIS MIGRATION CONTINUES
TIONARY APPROACH BY INTRODUCING
WHICH ALREADY PREPARED THE
AND IP-BASED VOICE SWITCHING.
BY COMING UP WITH AN IP-GATEWAY
TO CONNECT TO RADIOS USING
AN IP-INFRASTRUCTURE.
6000 time slots are available due to the interconnection of multiple
VCS 3020X system nodes. Up to eight duplicated switching nodes are
interconnected via a duplicated optical fibre backbone, carrying both
voice and data.
DUPLICATION – NO SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE
The extensive duplication of critical system components, such as the parallel operating core system,
limits the fault range to one communication channel.
Peripheral hardware like operator positions and interfaces are connected to both duplicated nodes A and B.

ETS AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
D IN THE FUTURE
Networks, radios, telephones, voice
recorders, radars, simulators, and a
management system can be hooked
up to the VCS 3020X.
TOPOLOGY
The VCS 3020X is built on a star architecture with
duplicated 2 MBit/s E1 communication links, using
standard CAT7 for structured cabling to all peripheral
devices. A fibre optic backbone allows both system
extensions and the splitting of systems. All critical
components of the VCS 3020X are duplicated to ensure
the availability of the communication paths. The decentralised and modular VCS 3020X provides full scalability without requiring software changes. This goes for
small systems as well as for large centres.
THE STAR ARCHITECTURE INCREASES RELIABILITY
The symmetric star topology connects line interfaces
and operator positions to the system core. In the unlikely event that one branch fails the other branches
and operations remain unaffected. The VCS 3020X star
topology forms the base for decentralised switching.

SCALABILITY: gate X
THE SYSTEM THAT GROWS WITH YOUR NEEDS
MEET THE NEW MEMBER OF THE VCS 3020X FAMILY: A SLIM MODULE CALLED “GATE X“
FORMS THE CORE SWITCH FOR SMALL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS TOWER SYSTEMS, USING
THE SAME SOFTWARE, HARDWARE AND FUNCTIONS AS EVEN THE BIGGEST SYSTEMS.
VCS 3020X WITH GATE X: THE FIRST REALLY SCALABLE SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS. GATE X MODULES ARE STACKABLE TO CREATE ANY SYSTEM SIZE.
Best configuration options
for any system size.
GATE X – THE IP-GATEWAY
By using the appropriate software, gate X also serves as remote
radio connection, which allows accessing remote radio via IP. The
multifunctional gate X may also be used as data server/role server,
IP telephony/radio server, and TDM/IP media gateway.
7
THE TECHNICAL MONITORING AND
CONTROL SYSTEM
The TMCS is the system’s installation and
configuration tool featuring a graphical room
view that allows operational supervisors to get
an overview of all currently active missions
and role configurations at each operator position. This is true for both stand-alone systems,
as well as for networked configurations.
An easy-to-use Traffic & Analysis tool, which
increases system efficiency by providing detailed reports using historical
data is also available.
EASY CUSTOM
ADAPTATIONS
THE CONTINUOUSLY GROWING NUMBER OF FEATURES
AND SERVICES DERIVED FROM SEVERAL PROJECTS AS
WELL AS FUTURE STANDARDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ARE INTEGRATED INTO A PROVEN COMMERCIAL-OFFTHE-SHELF SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, THERE IS PLENTY OF
ROOM LEFT FOR INDIVIDUAL CUSTOM ADAPTATIONS.
INTEGRATION WITH RADAR SYSTEMS
nowadays, it is possible to operate the VCS 3020X via a
window on the radar work-station or to use the air picture
derived from the radar system for best-signal-selection.
TELEPHONE AND RADIO SERVICES
your special phone and radio services combined with
Frequentis customer specific solutions optimise usability.
VOICE AND DATA RECORDING
the VCS 3020X is prepared for integrated recording of voice
and radio channel/telephone subscriber information.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INTEGRATION
the VCS 3020X central facility management system allows
configuring and diagnosing external systems.
NETWORKING
As an important building block of the
Frequentis i-volution concept, VCS3020X
satisfies your networking needs; be it operating radios of other VCS sites via digital
links or be it countrywide telephone and
radio networking.
The advanced role system optimises all
available resources for safest and most
efficient ATC.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Frequentis systems are frequently used
in classified environments and have to
comply with stringent security requirements. We have policies and procedures
in place to properly handle classified
information in accordance with the requirements of several countries. We
are familiar with and provide systems
compliant to Common Criteria.

CONCENTRATION ON THE USER
PERSONAL SETTINGS OF
POSITION CHARACTERISTICS TO
INCREASE USABILITY AND TO
MAXIMISE COMFORT, PERSONAL
SETTINGS OF THE POSITION
SUCH AS VOLUME, BRIGHTNESS,
CHIME ETC. CAN BE STORED
INDIVIDUALLY BY EACH USER.
BY LOGGING ON USING A
USER-ID, EACH OPERATOR
GETS HIS PERSONAL SETTING
ON ANY OPERATOR POSITION.
FREQUENTIS SYSTEMS FIRST FOCUS ON THE USER.
VALUABLE EXPERIENCE COMBINED WITH THE LATEST
MODERN TECHNOLOGY LEAD TO A LOW-STRESS ATCWORK ENVIRONMENT:
CPOS – THE COMPACT OPERATOR POSITION
The new compactPOSition puts the functions of the existing
VCS 3020X operator position into a dramatically smaller casing.
More condensed integration lets you put all position electronics
inside one panel. This is a major advantage wherever space is
an issue.
PREMIUM HIBRITE® POWERPANEL
Frequentis, a supplier of state of the art Touch Input Devices,
now offers more than the well-proven PP04 HiBrite® PowerPanels,
it offers the new Premium HiBrite® PowerPanel, which provides
a brightness of 1000cd/m2.
High contrast in strong ambient lighting conditions leads to
excellent usability in tough environments like tower cabs.
The new Powerpanel provides full sunlight readability and is
FAA-approved!

FLEXIBLE PANEL LAYOUT
ADAPTATIONS
ADVANCED ROLE HANDLING –
“IT IS YOUR CHOICE!”
The panel layout can easily be customised by
using the intuitive applications. This ranges from
simple colour changes to new complex layouts or
the integration of maps. Our experienced User
Interface Design Center offers workshops and
trainings to respond to and meet any of your
requirement.
In ATC, it is of utmost importance to provide ATC-controllers with the respective panel layout, defined by
assigned frequencies, dial keys and function keys. Quick,
safe and reliable access to different roles, required by
different situations, are one of the highlights of the VCS
3020X. Depending on the configuration, operators may
select a new role, or have a new role assigned by their
supervisor.
DEVELOPMENT
Our voice communication system software is designed in modular, hierarchical layers with
sophisticated interfaces. This open architecture allows splitting the services provided by the
system into modular units, which can then be combined according to your needs. This will
entail no changes to the basic software.

SELECTED FEATURES
INTEGRATED SHORT-TERM RECORDING
The integrated short-term recording has a capacity of 2 x 30 min. If configured, supervisors
may retrieve recordings made at any position. Additionally, export of recordings as WAV-file
is also possible.
MOVING CALL QUEUE
The continuously updated call queue presents all incoming calls on the Touch Panel.
BUSY INDICATION ON DA-KEYS
The busy indication on DA-keys indicates if there is an active call at the position the
operator intends to call.
FAIL-SAFE PTT-DETECTION
This function immediately indicates if a certain frequency appears occupied due to faulty
PTT-switches (e.g. cable defects or blocked footswitches).
RADIO REMOTE CONTROL
The integrated radio remote control allows controlling and monitoring remote radios via a serial
RS232/RS422/RS485- or DTMF-link from both the TED of the operator position and the TMCS.
TMCS SUPER CLIENT
For networked environments, dedicated super clients may log into any VCS connected within the
system. This gives the supervisor control of the entire system to change parameters or to check
the system status. The TMCS receives, summarises and displays general system information
concerning all system parts connected to the network. This information can then be processed
by a management system of a higher order.
INTEGRATION TO FREQUENTIS DIVOS RECORDERS
Combining the VCS 3020X with DIVOS recorders provides you with advantages only one supplier
can give. Imagine listening to ongoing position and interface conversations via the TMCS PC,
just to give an example.
ADVANCED ROLE CONCEPT
Depending on the operational needs, the system is fully configurable. It can be decided whether
roles shall be “pushed” by the supervisor or “pulled” by the operator.
FREQUENCY COUPLING MODES
The VCS3020X supports both simplex as well as duplex frequency coupling to satisfy any
operational requirement.
