A DATALINK INFOGRAPH
Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS–B)
is an advanced surveillance technology that combines an aircraft's position
and aircraft avionics to deliver an accurate and almost real time GPS
location interface between aircraft and Ground Control.
NOTE! ADS-B is processed over satellite (Commercial Airlines & other
International Flights) and ground based ADS-B transponders over land. These
land based transponders have a limited communications typically around 120
miles at 5,000 ft. subject to mountainous terrain. In remote regions where
ground transponders may not be operational.
www.FlightRadar24.com will
provide transponders free of charge
to fill in dead-spots.
Datalink has commercial agreements in place to receive ADS-B (out) data from
commercial service providers. This allows Datalink's DataGate to receive and
process ADS-B data from any aircraft so equipped and to route the data to
computers that are linked to
the Internet and have Datalink's WebGate program installed. ADS-B(out) is
updated every second. Datalink's ADSBLIVE continuously monitors this for
latency.
Datalink's ADSBlive.CLOUD service can be used to great advantage by
companies providing airborne services, both fixed wing and helicopters to
combat GLOBAL WARMING, including Wildfires, tracking Water-Bombers and
Flooding where Helicopters are used to rescue people trapped by high water.
