1. The Air Ground Datalink Server (AGDS)
A Thales ATM solution for FANS/ATN accommodation

2. Reminder of ATN2002 where… We discussed about…
the deployment of ACARS as the preferred oceanic datalink protocol
the on-going deployment of the more powerful ATN infrastructure
the need for “accommodation” in both airspaces
We proposed our approach to cope with this issue…
the most integrated way for ATS providers with full functionality
through the definition of a FANS/ATN multi-protocol datalink and applications server and gateway : the AGDS, Air Ground Data Server

7. Conclusion
AGDS is a derivative product from the ASE RRI development, and from on-going developments based on our customer needs and on European programs.
AGDS is a multi-protocol datalink server for multi A/G applications.
FANS/ATN accommodation is transparent to the controller, not in AGDS itself, but thanks to a sophisticated HMI.
AGDS can be tailored to local needs, thanks to its internal gateway.
