Airtel ATN provides the following solutions specifically for ANSPs

1. Air/Ground Data Link Server (AGDLS)

The ATN Air/Ground Data Link System (AGDLS) is responsible for handling Data Link communications. It supports ATN communications application such as Context Management (CM), Controller Pilot Data Link (CPDLC), ADS-C (Automatic Dependent Surveillance and Flight Information Services (FIS). These applications provide support for ATC services such as Data Link Initiation Capability (DLIC), ACL (ATC Clearance), ATC Communications Management (ACM) and ATC Microphone Check (AMC).

The AGDLS comes in two main configurations:

• Data Link Front End Processor (DL-FEP): FDPS implements the data link services and the DL-FEP handles message formatting and communications with the aircraft
• Data Link Server (DLS): DLS also implements ATC services, simplifying the implementation in the FDPS

2. Ground Ground Router
