An ANSP cannot lose a message or fall seconds behind delivering surveillance, flight plans, weather, NOTAMs and airspace constraints across organizational and national boundaries.
The move from point-to-point AFTN and AMHS interfaces to SWIM messaging is core to the modernization of the industry, and Solace is the backbone on which it runs.
- Distribute flight, aeronautical, weather and surveillance data with guaranteed delivery and five-nines availability
- Connect systems over open protocols like AMQP, MQTT and JMS
- Keep critical workloads on premises and non-critical functions in the cloud
- Federate with regional and global ANSPs, airports, airlines and AAM stakeholders without point-to-point links
What can ANSPs do with Solace?
System Wide Information Management
Make SWIM the Way Every
System Shares Information
ICAO SWIM replaces point-to-point AFTN and AMHS links with published services — the hard part is making it operational by running it reliably while legacy interfaces still carry live traffic.
Solace is the messaging backbone: systems share and exchange flight, aeronautical, weather and surveillance information once, and consumers receive what they need, so each migration adds a service without disturbing the ones already running.
Inter-ANSP Coordination
Share Flight Plans and Constraints
Across Borders in Seconds
A single flight crosses several flight information regions, and plan changes and constraints have to cross those boundaries fast enough to still be useful.
Solace can federate ANSPs in a region into one network layer, so an update in one region reaches the others as an event, not a scheduled exchange — the pattern Eurocontrol uses to connect more than 40 regional and national organizations.
Solace can also enable an ANSP to participate in an existing federation of distributed ANSPs to share and exchange information within its SWIM region and with outside ANSPs — the pattern APAC uses to connect more than 40 regional and national organizations.
Finally, Solace can enable an ANSP to participate as an independent ANSP within the global SWIM collection of ANSP and regional SWIM implementations, sharing and exchanging information within SWIM regions and with other independent ANSPs — the pattern many ANSPs will use to connect to all regional and national organizations.
Collaborative Decision Making
Decide With Airlines and
Airports on the Same Data
As capacity limits push back, the response is coordination: ANSPs, airlines, airports and handlers optimizing together instead of separately.
Solace carries CDM flows on the same infrastructure as SWIM, so turnaround milestones, airline intentions and ANSP constraints are visible to every party at once — the FAA runs both on Solace as a single messaging layer.
Surveillance Data Distribution
Move Radar and Space-Based
ADS-B at Controller Speed
Surveillance is an ANSP’s highest-volume, lowest-latency flow, and coverage now reaches oceanic and remote airspace that ground radar never could.
Solace distributes radar, multilateration and space-based ADS-B tracks to controller displays and consumers, filtered so each subscriber sees only its own airspace — the pattern behind Aireon’s gate-to-gate surveillance worldwide.
Weather and Aeronautical Data
Put Current Weather and NOTAMs
in Front of Every Decision
Weather drives more tactical decisions than any other input, and NOTAMs and airspace changes have to reach controllers the moment they happen.
Solace distributes weather, TFMS and aeronautical data through the same SWIM bus as flight and surveillance data, and opens it to third parties over one standard connection instead of a bespoke interface each.
