CANSO Academy: Space-based Voice Technologies

CANSO and industry experts held a forward-looking webinar exploring the potential and progress of space-based voice communications in air traffic management.

As aviation evolves to meet the demands of increased traffic, new entrants, and global coverage, the use of satellite-enabled voice technologies offers promising solutions to extend communication capabilities beyond current terrestrial limitations.

This session provided an overview of the operational need for space-based voice, highlighted the benefits for both ANSPs and airspace users, and examined two key solutions: Satellite Voice and Space-based VHF. The discussion concluded with a look at next steps for collaboration, integration, and implementation.
