X-bone homepage

X-bone, the ANSPs’ cross-border network, interconnects national network infrastructures of the civil Air Navigation Services Providers:

• Austro Control, Austria (AT)
• Croatia Control, Croatia (HR)
• ANS of the Czech Republic (CZ)
• Hungarocontrol, Hungary (HU)
• LPS SR, Slovakia (SK)

Other participating ANSPs:

• BHANSA, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA)
• SloveniaControl, Slovenia (SI)

The Interconnection Framework Agreement on regional network for transmission of information (IFA) commits these ANSPs to establish and operate X-bone.

At present the network is allowed to transmit OLDI, AMHS and radar data applications. All applications must be validated on the X-bone TEST network before being put into OPS.

The X-bone OPS network is monitored continuously, 24/7. Network engineers from all participating parties coordinate operational issues and changes. Further development is carried out under the FAB CE programme.
