TDM to IP Solutions
Solution for elimination of leased TDM lines
FAA systems depend on TDM-based services provided by telecom carriers (approx. 21,000 services – many using T1 Line connectivity). TDM services will phased out and migrated to IP over the next few years. The TDM services used in the NAS include voice, surveillance, weather, maintenance systems, and inter-facility / flight data a list that encompasses nearly the entire NAS.
Sunhillo’s Solution minimizes risk and provides a TDM to IP solution to meet the FAA’s needs as well as other industries that are transitioning from TDM leased lines. Using the RICI 5000 Gateway will help ease the transition and provide a safe, reliable solution.

Legacy Interface Test Equipment (LITE) Software Suite

As part of the TDM to IP initiative, there has been a move to transition serial communication circuits to IP circuits. Sunhillo’s Legacy Interface Test Equipment (LITE) has been specifically designed to provide a platform for testing FAA Legacy serial interfaces and providing an environment to help in the transition from TDM to IP. The LITE is a fully configurable simulation tool.
Use Case Scenarios
- Elimination of TDM lines
- Transition from TDM to IP
- Gateway Conversions
- Test Environment for TDM to IP Transition
- Test FAA Legacy Serial Interfaces
As the Sun sets on the TDM leased lines Sunhillo has developed a product set to ease the transition as well as provide a final low risk solution to move to IP. As the future moves to IP only Sunhillo has developed a new platform that is highly powerful and designed for an IP only world.
