Why PENS

• Current data communications in the air traffic
  management industry heavily rely on X.25, a
  technology that is about to be phased out (OLDI,
  ASTERIX, AFTN/CIDIN )
• Most inter- ANSP links are bilateral point to
  point circuits, managed on a bilateral basis
• CFMU and EAD have separate networks with
  different providers
• Future air traffic management will require
  tighter collaboration between all stakeholders
• Business case demonstrated that overall costs
  could be reduced by 15.
• The technical enabler for this is a common shared
  network PENS
