Safe Electronic Messaging System

Technical Description

The Safe Electronic Messaging System is a complete solution to interchange information (text, pictures, graphs, archives) in a safe way between the users of a LAN or WAN, using any type of available link, assuring the correct operation during 24 hours.

The system applies standards defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and ISO Standards (International Standardization Organization), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and to X.400 electronic mail structure. Currently it is in use in 73 stations in Argentina as part of the Air Traffic Service Message Handling System for (AMHS), from December of 2005, transacting daily 65,000 messages (domestic and international Flight Plans, weather data and air navigation information). This is the first Aeronautical Messaging System operating successfully in America.

Due to its strong protection features, this system can be used in Government, Justice, Security, Police, Gendarmerie, Coast Guards and other Government or private environments requiring protection and security in the information exchange.

The design and development of software complies ISO 9001:2000 certificated by UKAS Quality Management of the United Kingdom.
