SC-223

Airport Surface Wireless Communications

SC-223 was established at the request of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop standards for the Airport Wireless Surface Communications System. These standards are required to support data communication developments for the Collaborative Decision Making (CDM), Surveillance Broadcast System (SBS), System Wide Information Management (SWIM), as well as Weather and Flight Information Systems (FIS) efforts on the airport surface.

This technology may supplement or provide an alternative to the current cable loop program which could in turn reduce implementation cost and time and improve shared situational awareness and decision making. Identification of channelization requirements, guard band requirements and EIRP/Power envelope limits to prevent interference will be included in the profile development effort.

SC-223 will develop the Products as follows below.
