AudioSoft digital communication recording - listening to African airspace

AudioSoft are pleased to announce their continuing contribution to the modernization of African airspace with the supply of a comprehensive voice communications recording and replay system to the Republic of Botswana.

As part of an urgent requirement by the Botswana Defense Force, systems were needed to monitor both civil and military airspaces within an overall ATM infrastructure undergoing rapid modernization.

Typical of the African continent’s increasingly populated airspaces, the requirement was for a modular, future–proof system incorporating LAN/WAN technology to enable both local and remote operation. In turn, the package included personnel training in operation from remote situations, using a range of AudioSoft’s SmartAdditions software for automatic system health checks, clock synchronization, and diagnostics.

A custom built AudioPC–1034 software solution in tandem with hardware comprising an initial 32 channel input module, off-the-shelf PC’s, dual redundant power supplies, and remote voice activation was chosen to replace an ageing magnetic tape storage system.

In specifying the system for our customer, overall emphasis was placed upon rapidly and economically meeting the demands of handling a variety of signal sources within harsh operational terrain.
