Abstract :
Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System (AeroMACS) is a radio standard being developed based on WiMax. Why WiMax?, access to mature technology - not bleeding edge. COTS - Leveraging huge amount of private investment. Flexible standard - Can be adapted to needs of particular users. Profile being developed for airport application. Specifications include: Channel Bandwidths and center frequencies. Eleven 5 MHz bands within 5091-5150 MHz currently available. Max Doppler defined. Ability to achieve global harmonization. Spectrum already allocated globally. Broadband, NLOS coverage, mobility. IP network, no POTS legacy aspects. Next generation ASDE-X. Multilateration requires communications from a suite of fixed equipment around the airport. ASDE-X communications consist of fiber loop interconnects, field cable, leased lines, and wireless. Expensive to install & maintain. ASSC: an opportunity to introduce Aeromacs to the NAS to support both AeroMACS deployment and reap benefits of technology for ASSC; lower cost of deployment; support higher data rates needed to support ADS-B deployment; increase reliability/maintainability.
