7.1 Review of the Status of signing of the new Memorandum of Understanding 7.1.1 The meeting noted that the following States have signed the new MoU (Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia (FISS), Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and the Network Service Provider (ATNS and IATA). Furthermore, the meeting was informed that Eritrea, Libya and Saudi Arabia, had confirmed agreement for the new MoU and the only Yemen confirmation is pending. Accordingly, the Secretariat will follow-up with Yemen when the situation allows. 7.2 Status of Implementation of Conclusions from previous meetings 7.2.2 The meeting reviewed and updated the action plan derived from the deliberations of the previous meetings and this Tenth Meeting as at Appendix B, and requested the Secretariat do the necessary follow-up with the concerned parties. 7.3 Matters Arising Review of Network Operation and Performance
7.3.1. The meeting noted the successful maintenance of the system, which was achieved through the continuous commitment and assistance of the member States.
7.3.2 The occurrences reported to the ATNS Fault Reporting Centre (FRC) between April 2014 and February 2015 is provided as follows: Total: FRC = 179
Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Total
FRC 12 19 29 11 19 21 10 13 13 15 17 0 179

Corrective – 115
Preventative – 20
No Fault found – 16
External – 28
8 | P a g e
7.3.3 The following were noted:
a) An increase in the occurrences reported to FRC and more specifically related to RFT, IDU and MEMOTEC (multiplexer) failures.
b) Increased of failure of RFT units, SKYWAN-Resets, MEMOTEC-Resets, and UPS-Batteries & failures.
c) An agreement with the OEM has been reached to increase the capacity of the spares. Three additional RFT’s are in the process of being procured and are due for delivery at end of March 2015. Turnaround time of repairs has been discussed with ND SATCOM to ensure the continuation of availability of the identified spares as well as meeting the Network service Level of Availability.
d) The obtaining of LOIs and VISAS has improved and difficulties were dealt with on an individual basis with the relevant States.
e) The clearance of equipment and spares has received great effort and support from some States. Isolated instances were reported where it is still a lengthy process. Some States require the involvement of a local shipping agent for the clearance of equipment and results in increase of costs and also delays in having the equipment and spares cleared even if ATNS supplies a list of spares with the serial numbers prior to travel. In this regard the meeting encouraged member States to provide the necessary assistance in customs clearances.
f) The involvement of Civil Aviation Authorities is crucial in the speedy process of customs clearance
g) The meeting agreed that the No fault will be recorded under the corrective faults in the future.
7.3.4 Concerning the interoperability and interconnectivity of VSAT networks in the AFI Region, the meeting noted that ATNS was performing maintenance and monitoring of interconnections between NAFISAT and SADC VSAT II, and between NAFISAT and AFISNET. The following availability rates for these interconnections were achieved during the period April 2014/February 2015.
Availability
NAFISAT -AFISNET interconnectivity 94.33%
NAFISAT - SADC interconnectivity 99.97%
7.3.5 The meeting noted that, from April 2014 to February 2015, the average network availability was 98.81% with Tripoli outages taken into consideration and without Tripoli; the average availability rate was 99.97%. 7.3.6 The availability rates for AFTN and ATS/DS links during the same period are provided below:

Average = 97.47%
Four-level reporting structure 7.3.7 The meeting recalled that APIRG/18 agreed to the four-level methodology for the monitoring and reporting of VSAT networks performance, based on the use of the Performance Data Collection Forms (PDCFs) by States. These levels are defined as follows:
a) Level 1 captures the space segment of the network. b) Level 2 captures the RF and related equipment. c) Level 3 captures the multiplexer or interfaces. d) Level 4 captures the end user equipment.
7.3.8 The meeting noted that ATNS was applying all necessary systems to capture all parameters required to produce the 4 different levels of statistics. However, level 4 is States responsibility. Accordingly, the meeting agreed to the individual level 4 reporting format as at Appendix X to this Summary of Discussions and urged States to provide their individual report on monthly basis to ATNS and ICAO. It was further noted that levels 1 to 3 are done by ATNS. 7.3.9 The meeting agreed that ATNS will make the fault reports and the individual level 4 reporting form available on their ATNS website in order to facilitate automation of the reporting process. 7.3.10 ATNS presented an information paper on AMHS MTA to MTA trials conducted between FAOR (Johannesburg) and FBSK (Gaborone) and Addis Ababa using the IP (Internet Protocol) capability of the NAFISAT and SADC VSAT II networks. The trials were successful from a technical perspective and proved the capability of the future NAFISAT platform. The meeting noted that there were operational challenges observed and ATNS recommended that States must ensure that the training provided by AMHS equipment suppliers is to a level where the configuration can be performed independently of the equipment suppliers. The meeting was informed that the MID region had achieved 46% AMHS implementation which included interconnection between systems from different vendors. Furthermore, MID Region had established their own MID ATS Message Management Center (MIDAMC) and it is has been declared as operational as of 5 February 2015 after more than two years of trail.

The meeting encouraged the NAFISAT member States to register as external users on the MIDAMC website: http://www.midamc.jo in order to get used to the MIDAMC operations and gain the access to its library that has many useful documentation. Implementation of APIRG Conclusions and Decisions relevant to NAFISAT Network
7.3.10 The meeting reviewed and updated APIRG Conclusions and Decision relevant to the NAFISAT Network as at Appendix xxx NAFISAT Network Upgrade
7.3.11 Sudan provided the meeting with important information related to the upgrade of the NAFISAT network: ‘’AFISNET Interface’’. This upgrade will enhance the reliability and availability of the network; more over ensure the implementation of the new listed ANS applications, especially the connection of the AMHS systems through an IP based connection directly from the IDU7000 instead of using existing serial connections through the Multiplexers as illustrated in the upgrade proposal diagram 7.3.12. Unfortunately the proposed network upgrade not included the MCPC devices (Datum) combined with NDsatcom platform in states that has especial connections with non NAFISAT members because the upgrade of these devices is subject to AFISNET (ASECNA) entire network upgrade which is not yet determent. 7.3.13 However, the meeting noted the proposed solution for AFISNET interface (ASECNA) from Sudan as follows: Option one (current situation) To add MCPC device (Datum) to the NDsatcom device (IDU7000) in the NAFISAT states that has a direct connection with AFISNET states
Option two To add NDsatcom device (IDU7000) to the existing MCPC in the AFISNET states that have a direct connection with NAFISAT states (no need to add MCPC devise in the NAFISAT states), this option has the following advantages:
Only NDsatcom device will be exist in the NAFISAT member states (no MCPC devices needed) this make maintenance and fault reporting much easier and under control by the network service provider (ATNS)
Enhance the reliability and quality of the services especially the ATS/DS
Ensure the upgrade of all NAFISAT network equipment’s regardless of AFISNET network upgrade which is not yet determent
Ensure the connection of the AMHS on IP-Base directly from the IDU7000 modem even the AFISNET network not upgraded.
The working paper was noted by the meeting; however the upgrade as approved
does not make for the proposed changes in the current interfaces with AFISNET.
Furthermore the meeting was informed of a planned coordination meeting between IATA,
11 | P a g e
ICAO, ATNS and ASECNA to discuss and agree on preferred interface solutions aligned to the
ICAO VSAT Best Practices
7.3.14 The meeting received a presentation on the NAFISAT upgrade by ATNS, and noted the progress made with the engineering and planning of the network upgrade, and the decision to implement the upgrade using Skywan IDU7000 Modem. The meeting agreed with the upgrade plan that will provide reliable operation of the NAFISAT network until 2022. The meeting however noted that the upgrade as approved does not make for the proposed changes in the current interfaces with AFISNET. Furthermore the meeting was informed of a planned coordination meeting between IATA, ICAO, ATNS and ASECNA to discuss and agree on preferred interface solutions aligned to the ICAO VSAT Best Practices VSAT Earth Station Registration
7.3.15 The meeting reiterated the important of registering the VSAT frequencies in the States and follow-up with the concerned authorities in the States to further register in the ITU Master International Frequency Register (MIFR), since no progress has been achieved. 7.3.16 The meeting requested ATNS to assist Member States with the technical information required to ensure the successful registration of the VSAT earth stations, as a first step in the protection of safety-of-life services provided by NAFISAT network. The meeting further reiterated the importance to complete the task before the ITU World Radio communication Conference in November 2015. 7.3.17 The meeting agreed that ICAO to send State Letter requesting State to register and provide information on related regulatory requirements by 31 May 2015.
Preparation for the ITU WRC 15
7.3.18 The meeting was briefed on the ICAO position for the ITU WRC-15, relevant to agenda item 9.1.5 which States “To support possible technical and regulatory measures to ensure protection of VSATs used for the transmission of aeronautical and meteorological information in the frequency range 3.4 – 4.2 GHz from other services operating in the same or adjacent frequency range”. The meeting reiterated that States are required to support the whole ICAO Position at the WRC-15 in the interest of the aviation frequency bands protection. Financial Statements and Budget
7.3.19. The meeting received detailed presentation on the financial Statements and budget by ATNS under WP5 which consisted:

the assumptions for the budget were: (traffic movement will grow by 3%, Average cost increase will be 7.7%, and Management fee will increase from 10% to 15%.)
7.3.20. The meeting discussed in detail the effective date of the new MOU which affected assumption, such as increasing the management fee from 10% to 15%. The compliance of information as presented in the budget with the requirement of article 8 of the MOU. The meeting agreed that the effective date of the new MoU will be 01 st December 2015, this meant that only then can the management fee be increased from 10% to 15 %, therefore the budget as presented was approved subject to:
ATNS circulating the budget which complies with article 8 of the new MoU by the first week of June 2015;
ATNS adjusting the management fee to 10% and only increase to 15% from 01st December 2015.
