NEC and AEROTHAI Elevate Thailand’s Air Traffic Safety with Next-Gen Time-Synchronization from Adtran Oscilloquartz
NEC Corporation, a global leader in IT and network transformation, and Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Ltd. (AEROTHAI), the state-owned entity overseeing Thailand’s air traffic control and aeronautical communications, have joined forces to deploy Adtran’s Oscilloquartz OSA 5412 timing solution. This upgrade enhances AEROTHAI’s air traffic management by delivering tighter synchronization, reducing GNSS-related risks, and keeping critical airport systems operating without interruption.
AEROTHAI is focused on delivering navigation services that prioritize safety, efficiency, and international competitiveness. With growing air traffic, crowded airspaces, and the modernization of aging infrastructure, AEROTHAI needed a solution that offers higher accuracy, scalability, and reliability to replace older systems.
To meet these needs, NEC has supplied AEROTHAI with Adtran’s Oscilloquartz OSA 5412, a sophisticated timing platform engineered for precision and dependability. The solution improves timing accuracy, strengthens network resilience, and ensures compliance with global aviation standards, delivering a cost-effective, future-ready base for safer skies.
The initiative strengthens aviation safety and positions Thailand as a prominent regional hub. By upgrading essential infrastructure, NEC helps AEROTHAI build lasting resilience and operational excellence. NEC continues to provide secure, scalable network solutions that drive innovation and enable a safer, more connected future for the aviation sector.
“Reliable, efficient air traffic operations rely on timing that is precise, stable, and secure, making synchronization the backbone of modern air traffic management. Our OSA 5412 enables AEROTHAI to deploy scalable, multi-source synchronization that reduces GNSS exposure and simplifies operations. With built-in assurance and aviation-grade safeguards, the system supports uninterrupted service as traffic increases, giving controllers dependable timing every time. This project supports Thailand’s modernization of critical infrastructure with technology that enhances safety, boosts efficiency, and lays a solid foundation for future expansion.”
