Our new satellite tracking solution, scheduled to be released in 2018/2019, will solve this problem.Īll aircraft equipped with an ADS-B out transponder are tracked. This helps us track flights at least 100-200 NM off a coast. Fortunately, RadarBox has a network of feeders living in coastal regions and on islands such as the Azores, Iceland, Fiji, etc. Tracking flights over the ocean is a challenging task as receivers cannot be placed in the ocean. The average range of a typical feeder’s antenna is 100-200 nautical miles (NM).

Dedicated ADS-B grounds stations (or ADS-B Receivers) receive the broadcasts and relay the information to RadarBox’s servers which then process and display this data at Most of these ground stations consist of receivers that RadarBox sends volunteers, free of charge.ĪDS-B is based on the line of sight principle, so coverage area primarily depends on the antenna – how it is placed, where it is placed, and obstructions like buildings, mountains etc. A transmitter (also called Transponder) then broadcasts that position at rapid periodic intervals, along with aircraft identity, altitude, speed and other data. The system involves an aircraft with ADS-B determining its position using GPS. The data transmitted to ground receivers can then be used by other aircraft and air traffic control to show the aircraft’s position and altitude on display screens without the need for radar. With offices in the US and in Europe we have team members from over 10 countries with all types of backgrounds - air traffic controllers, airline pilots, engineers - in common AirNav Systems team members have a passion for aviation and a deep understanding of big data computing.ĪirNav Systems exhibiting at the NBAA - BACE 2021 convention in Las Vegas, USA.Īutomatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) tracking is a modern flight tracking system wherein the electronic equipment onboard an aircraft automatically broadcasts the aircraft’s location other flight related data to ground receivers via radio waves. Some of our most recent and important customers. We not only provide off-the-shelf solutions but also develop customized applications suitable to all types of companies. Operating one of the world's biggest ADS-B networks, AirNav RadarBox has established itself as a flexible and easy to deal with company. The parent company of RadarBox is AirNav Systems LLC (established in 2001). Today, the website has over 150,000 daily users in over 190 countries. Under his leadership, RadarBox grew significantly over the next couple of years, primarily due to strong investments towards a feature rich website, apps and hardware innovation. RadarBox was founded by Computer Sciences Engineer and Airline Pilot Andre Brandao in early 2001.
