COROBOR Systèmes has just successfully completed the first phase of a seven-fold project consisting in the installation of MESSIR-AFTN Message Switching Systems in Toulouse and six French overseas territories.
The first MESSIR-AFTN system was turned operational in March in beautiful Tahiti. This successful installation will soon be followed by others in New Caledonia, Reunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyana and Toulouse as part of a contract signed with the French Civil Aviation Authority (STNA).
During its first three months of operation, MESSIR-AFTN has been giving full satisfaction to all users at the Papeete Fa'a Airport. Jean-Louis Thomas, the airport Technical Director, said : “I would like to underline the excellent collaboration of the COROBOR staff who have always complied with our requirements. I would also like to stress the excellent quality of the equipment supplied which is very user-friendly, and the quality of the training supplied which was appreciated by all.”
The MESSIR-AFTN system was delivered in a hot stand-by configuration and handles telegraphic and X25 lines including an international connection to Christchurch in New Zealand.
