National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mission Operation
Voice Enhancement (MOVE) Program Accepts Delivery of the Two Frequentis
VCS3020 Voice Communication Systems at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
Frequentis USA announces that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) accepted
the two VCS3020 systems for the Mission Operation Voice Enhancement (MOVE) program at
Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland. The VCS3020 systems replace the
aging voice systems at GSFC with the latest digital communication technologies such as Voice-
Over-IP and user friendly operator positions (keysets). The keysets consist of high resolution touch
entry displays that give the user increased flexibility and higher operational capacity, resulting in
higher operational efficiency. With a total installed capacity of 734 and 362 operator stations and
expansion capability to 1,100 and 544 operator stations, the GSFC site contains one of the largest
mission critical voice systems to be installed under the MOVE program. "Our team is thrilled to
deliver these first MOVE systems,” said Mark Lloyd, MOVE program manager at Frequentis USA,
Inc. “We are looking forward to the first space flight mission supported by our system later this
year.”
The GSFC VCS3020 systems deliveries represent the first replacement of the existing operational
communication systems out of up to 21 major NASA space operations centers. The Frequentis
system provides operational voice communication and conferencing among NASA personnel,
support personnel, and the scientific community for the support and execution of manned and
unmanned space flight missions including those to the International Space Station and the remaining
Space Shuttle missions. With a capacity to communicate with more than 5,000 operator positions
and external interfaces over up to 3,000 conferences, the Frequentis VCS3020 system is the largest
mission critical system in the world.
Frequentis USA, with headquarters in Columbia, Maryland, designs, builds, and integrates
communication and information systems for NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, the
Department of Defense, and the Public Safety sector. The company is a business unit of Frequentis
AG in Vienna, Austria.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mission Operation
Voice NASA Accepts Frequentis Voice Communication System 3020 at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas.
Frequentis USA announces that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) accepted
the two VCS3020 systems for the Mission Operation Voice Enhancement (MOVE) program at
Johnson Space Center (JSCC) in Houston, Texas. The VCS3020 systems replace the aging voice
systems at JSC with the latest digital communication technologies such as voice-over-IP and user
friendly operator positions (keysets). The system capacities of 955 and 275 operator stations with
expansion capability to 1,434 and 413 operator stations mark the delivery of the largest systems
within the MOVE program so far. "These deliveries mark another milestone in the MOVE program,
since they will be directly supporting NASA’s manned spaceflight missions,” said Mark Lloyd, MOVE
program manager at Frequentis USA, Inc.
The JSC VCS3020 deliveries follow installations at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and
Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) earlier this year. As the roll out of MOVE systems continues,
NASA will have received more than 2,500 operator positions by the end of this year.

Vienna, September 2009
NASA accepts the First Large, Fully Voice-Over-IP Based Voice Communications
System Within the NASA MOVE Program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
July 31, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) accepted the VCS3020 system
for the Mission Operation Voice Enhancement (MOVE) program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in
Pasadena, California. The VCS3020 system at JPL is the first NASA MOVE system connecting all
operator stations with Voice-over-IP (VoIP). The 3020 system increases flexibility and operational
capacity, resulting in higher operational efficiency of the NASA voice controllers. JPL has an installed
capacity of 442 operator stations, expandable to 663 units. “The 3020 system for the MOVE program
is the first system worldwide using mission critical VoIP in a large scale. It impressively shows the
maturity and scalability of the technology”, says Dieter Eier, VP of Business Development at
Frequentis USA.
The VCS3020 system delivery to JPL represents the fourth delivery within the MOVE program, which
will replace equipment in up to 21 major NASA space operations centers over the next few years.
The JPL system deploys mission critical VoIP technology, based entirely on open standards.
Frequentis contributed its mission critical VoIP technology to EUROCAE WG67 for standardization.
EUROCAE is an international standardization body for the development of VoIP standards for air
traffic control systems. EUROCAE WG67 released its first set of VoIP standards for mission critical
systems in spring of 2009. Frequentis is an early adopter of EUROCAE standards.
The Frequentis VCS3020 system provides a capacity of up to 5,000 operator positions and external
interfaces, connected up to 3,000 conferences using VoIP technology as well as conventional Time
Division Multiplex (TDM) technology together in a seamless manner.

Maryland, October 2009
FREQUENTIS USA, Inc. MOVE system supports the NASA
CONSTELLATION Program’s First Solid Rocket Flight Test with the Ares
1-X Rocket
Frequentis USA announces that National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) new
Mission Operation Voice Enhancement (MOVE) system at the Marshall Space Flight Center
(MSFC) provided mission critical voice communications for the Constellation Program’s first solid
rocket flight test using the Ares 1-X rocket.
The Ares 1-X flight tests brings the agency one step closer to its exploration goals – to transport
astronauts to the International Space Station after the space shuttle retires and explore destinations
beyond low Earth orbit.
The Frequentis supplied VCS3020 MOVE system, installed earlier this year at MSFC, was used during
the Ares 1-X flight test to provide conferencing “loops” for the various disciplines that participated in the
flight activity. “The Ares 1-X team members were very pleased with the performance of the MOVE system
during this critical next generation launch vehicle event,” said Mark Lloyd, MOVE program manager at
Frequentis. “The MSFC MOVE system will also be used during the next Shuttle mission, STS-129,
targeted for launch on November 16, 2009 to the International Space Station.”
The MSFC VCS3020 MOVE system is the first of the potential twenty-one NASA wide systems to go
operational in the MOVE program. The Frequentis system provides operational voice communication and
conferencing among NASA voice controllers for the support and execution of unmanned and manned
space flight missions. With a capacity to communicate with more than 5,000 operator positions and
external interfaces over up to 3,000 conferences, the Frequentis VCS3020 system is the largest mission
critical system in the world.
