Aireon's space-based ADS-B network, operational since April 2019, gave air traffic controllers real-time surveillance over the North Atlantic for the first time in aviation history.
VectorAireon mounted ADS-B receivers on the Iridium NEXT constellation in 2019, ending decades of oceanic blind spots with real-time global surveillance.
VectorAireon's space-based ADS-B network, built on the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation, ended the era of blind oceanic surveillance in 2019.
VectorAireon's space-based ADS-B network uses 66 low-Earth orbit satellites to deliver 8-second position updates over the open ocean, replacing a system where oceanic controllers worked with data up to 10 minutes old.
VectorHow Aireon put ADS-B receivers on 66 Iridium satellites to replace 40-minute oceanic position reports with real-time tracking of every equipped aircraft over every ocean.
VectorAireon's space-based ADS-B network, globally operational since January 2020, closed aviation's oceanic surveillance gap using receivers on Iridium's 66-satellite constellation.
