“smartMessenger 7 has enhanced our communication infrastructure, allowing us to interface seamlessly with critical systems including the NATS (formerly National Air Traffic Services and now NATS Holdings Limited) AMHS system in the United Kingdom, electronic flight system, and our automated weather observing system. This improved communication and operational efficiency is crucial in allowing us to manage air traffic effectively,” says Richard Watson, ATE Senior Assurance Manager at Ports of Jersey.
