Products & Solutions
MULTIFONO M800IP
A voice-over-IP communication switching platform that connects radios, telephones and intercoms for air traffic controllers and military operators. It runs on duplicated, parallel-operating hardware with no single point of failure and complies with the ED-137 VoIP standard used across European air traffic control. Customers include ENAV at Milan Malpensa airport and Air Navigation Solutions at Gatwick and Edinburgh airports.
Field Deployable VCS (M602S / M802IP)
A transportable version of the MULTIFONO platform built for military operations outside fixed facilities. The M602S variant is PCM-based and the M802IP variant runs over VoIP, and both handle ground-to-air and ground-to-ground communication between controllers, aircraft and external units. The system is modular so it can be upgraded without taking it offline.
VRS800 Voice and Video Recording System
Records and plays back voice, video, radar and CCTV feeds from control towers and operations rooms for regulatory compliance and incident review. The VRS800G variant, built with GuardREC, handles up to 300 recording channels across digital, analogue, VoIP and E1 lines. It is used at sites including the European Space Agency's ESOC facility in Darmstadt.
MTF800 Integrated Information System
A touch-panel terminal that combines audio management, electronic flight strips, meteorological data and camera feeds into one workstation for tower and operations room staff. It lets an operator move between positions without losing data, and can be expanded as new tasks or regulations require. It is used in both civil and military towers, including the Italian Air Force's Pisa Air Base.
Operator Consoles (PK, PCF, TK, KR, GH series)
Motorized, ergonomic consoles designed for air traffic control towers, operations rooms and military command centres. They provide the physical working position operators use to access SITTI's communication, recording and information systems.
Digital Clock System (DEC10)
An NTP server-based time reference system that keeps clocks synchronized across air traffic control and emergency services equipment, designed for straightforward installation into existing control room infrastructure.
About
SITTI designs and manufactures voice communication systems for air traffic control towers, control centres and military command posts. Founded in 1946, the company is headquartered in Vimodrone, in the Milan metropolitan area, and remains an independent joint stock company owned entirely by its own management.
