IN a significant step towards enhancing the safety and efficiency of Nigeria’s airspace, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has embarked on a mission to modernise its communication infrastructure.
A team of NAMA officials, led by Managing Director Engr Farouk Ahmed Umar, recently visited the Rohde and Schwarz factory in Germany for a factory assessment test (FAT) of critical communication equipment.
The new High-Frequency (HF) transceiver, equipped with advanced signal processing algorithms, promises to revolutionise air-to-ground communications across Nigerian airspace.
This cutting-edge technology will significantly reduce noise levels associated with traditional HF systems, ensuring robust and reliable communication coverage over the Gulf of Guinea, extending far into the Atlantic Ocean, and across the Northern desert regions beyond the Kano Flight Information Region (FIR).
The modernisation of Nigeria’s airspace infrastructure seems a key priority for NAMA. The agency’s efforts aim to enhance the safety and efficiency of air travel, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to upgrading the sector.
With this new technology, NAMA is poised to take a significant leap forward in ensuring the safety of passengers, crew, and aircraft.
The deployment of the new HF solution marks the beginning of a new era in air travel for Nigeria.
With improved communication capabilities, pilots will be able to navigate the skies with greater ease, and passengers will enjoy a safer and more efficient travel experience.
