Consider the wireless communication network between an aeroplane and Controller station on an airport. To smoothly run the flight operations, critical information and instructions are exchanged between the pilot and the air traffic controller through the wireless communication network.

Question

Consider the wireless communication network between an aeroplane and Controller station on an airport. To smoothly run the flight operations, critical information and instructions are exchanged between the pilot and the air traffic controller through the wireless communication network.

Keeping in view the scenario, give your opinion which of the following parameters are more significant and why?

Line-of-sight
Cost
High speed
Security

Give your opinion with solid reasons in maximum five lines.

Answer 1

Line of sight isn't exactly a huge priority now that we have accurate RADAR.

I'm not sure what you mean by cost.
High speed, accurate communication is an extremely important condition. Without a high rate of refresh of data and precision of measurement, guidance is pretty much impossible. This is the primary function of the system.
Security seems significant, though, given the risk of unintended outside activity on the hardware.
The last two points seem the most important.

Answer 2

In the given scenario, the most significant parameter is security. The communication between the pilot and air traffic controller involves critical information and instructions that need to be exchanged securely to ensure the safety of flight operations. While line-of-sight and high speed are important for efficient communication, the priority here is to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the transmitted data. Cost can also be a factor, but it should not compromise the level of security required in such a critical communication network.
