Airtel ATN won the contract to meet Harris’ Mobile Avionics Service Volume Test (SVAT) Suite (MASS) requirements via the delivery of Airtel ATN’s MTP-400 Mobile Test Platform. The MTP-400 is a fully portable aeronautical data link test set that supports various customer selected software applications for RF monitoring or as a transceiver for emulating either ground systems or data link equipped aircraft using VDLM2. VDLM2 (VHF Digital Link Mode 2) is the network which supports Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC). Airtel ATN’s leading edge technical knowledge and customer support focus contributed to the successful delivery of the project.
“Airtel ATN’s MTP-400 team has produced a reliable, easy-to-use, product both in the Lab and in the field. […] Airtel ATN’s team has consistently exceeded or met the expected delivery dates and has interfaced with us in a professional and friendly manner.” John Puglia, System Integration & Test Engineer, Harris
To date the MASS/MTP has been used to successfully complete four Data Comm key site airports. Through the provision of a single portable MTP-400 for both VDL monitoring and MASS testing, Airtel ATN is enabling Harris Field teams to efficiently perform Service Volume Acceptance Tests at the remaining 53 airports across the USA in 2016.
“Airtel ATN’s MTP-400 is the world’s first truly portable multi-function data link test platform. It’s been immensely satisfying to work in partnership with the team at Harris and see them leverage our robust testing solutions as they roll out DCL across the NAS.” Frank O’Connor, CEO, Airtel ATN.
