FTI Communication Systems Ltd
Communication Networks for Critical Infrastructure
Modern solutions for you
Who we are
FTI is the UK Market leader in safety critical networks for Aviation
Control Tower infrastructure supporting airfield Comms, Navigational Aids and Surveillance systems (since 1984).
The Company's expertise is predominately in the design of high reliability,
resilient networks and Turn-Key Solutions.
FTI designs and manufactures its own equipment where 'fit for purpose'
products are not currently available.
Each stage of a project is specified, along with the choice of reliable
components, to provide a guaranteed project and excellent life expectancy.
The historical evidence continues to demonstrate real life extended performance
and attractive life time ownership cost.
Particular attention is given to minimising the impact of Solar Radiation
in the design of FTI's Products. The latest nanometre substrates and lower
operating voltages, used in high density silicon, make the integrated circuits
far more vulnerable to Cosmic Rays (95% of which are Neutrons, at ground
level). FTI's choice of electronic components is to mitigate, as far as
possible, the potentially catastrophic effects of the Cosmic Radiation.
We are now in Solar Cycle 25 which began in 2019 and is predicted to peak,
between 2024 & 2026.
FTI provides: Consultancy, Design, Integration, Installation, Commissioning,
Maintenance, Training of Communication Equipment, Networks & Systems and
the responsibility for the system integration, of the end equipment with
the Network communication interfaces.

CNS Multiplexers
The range of 1240 CNS Fibre Optic Multiplexers have been designed and optimised to provide a high reliability point to point network, with cable path protection, for Safety Critical Systems: Control Tower to Airfield CNS (Comms, Navigational Aids and Surveillance) Systems. The 1240 CNS Multiplexer is in operational use at LHR, MAN, BHX, EDI (+ many other Airports) and has proven to be a universal solution for all of the CNS System Manufacturers, facilitating the integration and networking to the Control Tower.
Learn more...Self Healing Fibre Network
FTI's self-healing (Auto-Changeover) Fibre Network connects the Comms, Navigational Aids and Surveillance Systems to the Control Tower at LHR (London Heathrow) and has been shown to be essential (on more than one occassion) in maintaining the high utilisation of both Runways, where Aircraft separation can be down to 2.5nm nautical miles.
Learn more...DC UPS ADSUM
Battery System for CNS (Comms, Navigational Aids and Surveillance) Systems. A DC UPS (ADSUM) is available to support the 1240 CNS Multiplexer & other Equipment loads on 48Vdc or 24Vdc Battery Systems, for more than 24Hrs. The ADSUM UPS is in operational use at London Airports and Regionally, supporting CNS Systems.
