Aeronautical Message Handling System (AMHS) is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). In order to facilitate the transition from legacy protocols to this new standard EUROCONTROL with its European member states launched an ambitious project called ECG (European or EATM Communications Gateway) to develop a gateway between AFTN (Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network) and AMHS. The ECG was developed by the German manufacturer COMSOFT. The major AMHS systems in Europe installed in the United Kingdom, Germany and at EUROCONTROL sites in Belgium and France are derived from the ECG.
