Notice Information

Notice Title

Idox Argonaut UTMC software licence & software support.

Notice Description

The Idox UTMC Common Database (Argonaut) is an intrinsic part of the Traffic Control and Information Centre and is used to amalgamate various control room systems into one command and control system to save time and resources. \r \r \r \r There are alternative UTMC Common Database suppliers within the UK and Europe, however, each system is unique in its operating protocols and integration into legacy systems. The alternative suppliers are still in the development stage of creating their own UTMC product that would integrate all these required protocols but do not have working product brought to market yet. As the integration into many of the systems/protocols has already been completed by Idox, it would be prudent to continue with a known working product.
