While there are currently other long-range communication systems, such as HF, satellite voice and controller to pilot data link communications (CPDLC) over SATCOM, available to facilitate communications between aircraft and ATC in remote and oceanic airspace, the performance of these current systems is not adequate to safely support close aircraft-to-aircraft separation in a similar fashion as to what is being applied in dense airspace where terrestrial VHF communications infrastructure is predominant. Therefore, this leads to constraints in airspace capacity and efficiency in oceanic and remote areas, where it is not practical to deploy VHF terrestrial infrastructure.
