FAA moving to VOIP?

[Paul Millner]

IT’S NOT CLEAR IF THEY INCLUDE THE GROUND TO AIR LINK, NEW RADIOS ANYONE?

Appears to be just the ground-to-ground will be switching to VOIP (thank goodness).

"NVS is a Voice over Intranet Protocol system that will carry the ground portion of voice communications digitally over the secure FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI)."

[Russell Holton]

Hopefully they're thinking about security. Especially if they're opening up communication to remote pilots.

And by "security", I mean all the different ways it could be abused.
