Welcome to the wiki of the EUROCONTROL NM Datalink Activities

The purpose of this wiki is to share information and raise awareness for the stakeholders of the VDL2/ATN datalink deployment in Europe. The wiki covers the main activities of the EUROCONTROL NM datalink team. There are three main areas of activities, as follows: Performance monitoring and reporting Interoperability Testing Support to deployment and investigation of problems In relation to the above activities, the EUROCONTROL NM datalink team facilitates the two European datalink stakeholder groups: the Datalink Performance Monitoring Group (DPMG) and the Datalink Support Group (DSG) DPMG and DSG together address all aspects of datalink operations and deployment of VDL2/ATN datalink in European airspace. The DPMG and DSG meet twice a year. Information is shared with DPMG/DSG members via dedicated Onesky extranet sites. This wiki is intended to support the broader data link community. Information on the general NM datalink activities is also available on the EUROCONTROL web site.
