3. Comprehensive Explanation
The initiative covers inter centre (encompassing all type of ATM Units) voice communication and the links with the ground radio Stations;
The objective forecasts that all ECAC States migrate their ATM voice services to VoIP by the specified Full Operational Capability 12/2020;
Initial Operational Capability (Forward fit) date is 01/2013 for both inter-centre telephony and the links to the ground radio stations on the ground segment of the Air-Ground voice.
Inter centres voice communications are currently mainly performed via analogue and partially digital circuits (ATS-QSIG) since 2003.
At present VoIP is identified as being the medium term standard for ground telephony and ground segment of the Air-Ground voice.

9. Objective Coordinator’s Analysis, recommendations, tips & tricks
Early implementation
Allows to get the benefit of the IP infrastructure, and to get early return on investment
Increases Airspace flexibility within functional airspace blocks in a multi-vendor operational setting.
Facilitates business continuity as Telecom service providers are phasing out their legacy analogue, 64kBit/s based and later 2MBit/s based services.

10. ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective COM11
Conclusions
VoIP in ATM is a mature standard referenced by ICAO;
VoIP in ATM is ready to be deployed over the IP infrastructure (PENS and ANSPs IP networks);
VoIP in ATM will increase Airspace flexibility;
VoIP in ATM will support and facilitate business continuity.
