Voice communications for air traffic management, whether it is Air-Ground (A-G) or Ground-Ground (G-G) were predominantly over TDM based Air Traffic Management (ATM) networks. With the latest developments in EUROCAE (European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment) ED-137 inter-operability standard, it is now possible to implement VoIP technology for voice services for air traffic control. This implementation uses the familiar Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to establish, modify, and terminate sessions within an Air Traffic Services Ground Voice Network with endpoint equipment.
