MUNICH and COLOGNE, Germany, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The Parchim International Airport in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will receive a state-of-the-art ATC communications system from Rohde & Schwarz Systems GmbH. Baltic Airport Mecklenburg GmbH, the airport operating company, has placed an order with Rohde & Schwarz Systems GmbH for a new turnkey ATC system. The airport is currently undergoing expansion with a focus on international airfreight development. In the first phase, Rohde & Schwarz will install the main radio system, two controller working positions and a third working position for the tower backup system.
