Berlin Brandenburg Airport will open at the end of October 2020. With around 350,000 planned aircraft movements per year on two parallel runways, BER Airport will be one of the largest airports in Germany. Not far from the main terminal, the control tower of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung (German Air Traffic Control) rises into the sky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

All take-offs and landings will be controlled and monitored from here. But hardly anyone knows that the tower at Berlin Brandenburg Airport has already been in operation since 2012 and has been controlling all air traffic at the neighbouring Sch\u00f6nefeld Airport safely and reliably for eight years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, one of the world\u2019s most important ANSP (Air Navigation Service Provider), operates the airport control towers of all German international commercial airports. With 65 years of experience, it controls over 3 million aircraft movements per year. DFS air traffic controllers control and monitor all air traffic in German airspace and will soon also take over air traffic control at the new BER airport. By using cutting-edge equipment and employing professionally trained personnel, Deutsche Flugsicherung play a pioneering role among air navigation providers worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

System security for a highly sensitive area<\/h3>\n

For years, KVM products of Guntermann & Drunck (G&D) have been supporting DFS in Germany to ensure that they are able to operate their technical systems even more safely, efficiently and easily. With KVM technology, the computer systems required for air traffic control can be removed from the air traffic controller environment \u2013 and still be operated from a distance in real time. In addition, KVM matrix switches guarantee the independent operation of several servers via several controller consoles. Last but not least, matrix switches can be used to set up extensive redundancy concepts and thus prevent failures and system malfunctions.<\/p>\n

The tower pulpit offers air traffic controllers an unimpeded view of the runways. From here, DFS controllers ensure that air traffic at nearby Sch\u00f6nefeld Airport runs smoothly around the clock.<\/p>\n

Using KVM systems from G&D, it is possible to switch between different computers that are physically separated and to display the images of several Air Traffic Systems (ATS) on their screens. All systems and the entire IT infrastructure must run securely and reliably 24\/7, 365 days a year.<\/p>\n

In order to take account of the changed interface architecture and the latest computer technology, the KVM systems were recently inspected and, after eight years of reliable service, renewed with even more modern equipment. Without interrupting the work of air traffic controllers and air traffic control, the equipment was replaced during normal operations, which placed additional demands on safety and reliability. DFS and G&D worked hand in hand to implement the complex redundant infrastructure. The new equipment guarantees that the system is always available, thus providing maximum security for flight operations.<\/p>\n

Guntermann & Drunck have been specialised in ATC applications for many years and therefore have been able to gain extensive experience in setting up redundant KVM systems for mission-critical environments. The systems are used in all mission-critical areas such as center and tower and are also included in DFS\u2019s remote towers. Both companies, G&D and DFS, benefit greatly from their close cooperation. This enables G&D to work together even more closely with the ATC industry and to further adapt their portfolio to the industry\u2019s requirements. This way, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung are also able to discuss new products and requirements directly with the KVM manufacturers. Thus, both the efficiency and the reliability of the constantly improved systems will continue to benefit from the use of KVM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
