ACARS Technology Limitations

ACARS has 2.4 kbps air-to-ground data link Current traffic reaching capacity of available frequencies at

busiest airports Limits data link speed and volume

Data link growth continues regardless of economy

Cannot continue to meet airlines demand New applications are data intensive New aircraft are data intensive

55

VDLM2

VDLM2 has 31.5 kbps air-to-ground data link >10X the throughput and speed of ACARS Enables data intensive applications Complies with ICAO SARPS for worldwide harmonization Eliminates radio frequency congestion

Designed to meet demanding requirements of Air Traffic Services (ATS) communications
