Jamaica Selects Ubitech's Message Handling for Aeronautical Information

The Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) will migrate its ATS (air traffic services) messaging operations from the AFTN (aeronautical fixed telecommunication network) to Ubitech's AMHS (aeronautical telecommunication network message handling system).

JCAA's installation will be the first implementation of an AMHS in the Caribbean and Ubitech's fourth in the region. The project's completion also will make JCAA one of the world's first CAAs (civil aviation authorities) to be fully compliant with ICAO SARPs (standards and recommended practices) for aeronautical messaging.

Ubitech will provide JCAA with its latest generation, native X.400-based Ubimex 6 AMHS that is designed specifically for communication over the ATN (aeronautical telecommunication network), and is 100% compatible with AFTN, as well as others such as, the CIDIN (common ICAO interchange network), the NADIN (national airspace data interchange network) and SITA's.

JCAA's AMHS purchase is part of a larger procurement project that also will include Ubitech's InfoStore AIS (aeronautical information system), InformAIR pilot briefing interface, BillSys billing application, and SkySource eAIP ("easy" aeronautical information publication) system.

Ubitech believes that once these products are commissioned, JCAA will operate one of the most advanced integrated ATS/AIS systems in the world.  12-05-2006.
