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 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.
