COMSOFT to Install New Message Handling System in North Africa

COMSOFT says it will soon install an AMHS (aeronautical telecommunication network message handling system) in Morocco that will be the first operational system of this type on the African continent, and will soon serve as an improved gateway connection between North Africa and Europe.

According to COMSOFT, its AIDA-NG (aeronautical integrated data exchange agent - next generation) AMHS technology will soon replace the existing AFTN (aeronautical fixed telecommunication network) systems currently in use all over the world.

The AFTN is used to exchange messages and digital data between ANSPs (air navigation service providers), aviation service providers, airport authorities, and government agencies, and other aviation entities.  It communicates such things as aircraft operational information and messages regarding flight safety, meteorology, flight regularity and aeronautical administration.

COMSOFT says its initial step in the AMHS market was the installation of the first AMHS in the Africa-Indian Ocean region in 2005, followed by the first-in-the-world standardized AMHS link between Germany and Spain in February of 2006.  06-11-2007.
