Abstract

The Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) is being developed as a means of providing reliable digital communications for air transport aircraft by internetworking avionics end systems, air/ground communications links, multiple ground distribution systems, and ground end systems. Satellite communications systems allow ATN to be available anywhere in the world, providing tremendous economic advantages to the air transport industry through more efficient operations. Integration of voice and data networks will provide a totally automated communications system for air transport aircraft
