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.

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. FREQUENTIS USA, Inc., headquartered in Columbia, MD, is a company of the global FREQUENTIS AG Group, and designs, builds, and integrates communication and information systems for NASA, the FAA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and Public Safety agencies.
