Radarcape ADS-B MLAT Receiver
Radarcape is a professional ADS-B receiver made for 24/7 operation. High performance reception in a wide temperature range, suitable for all applications in wide area, surface or apron monitoring. Radarcape comes with optional features for special applications (see table below) and is proven in thousands of client environments worldwide.
Radarcape offers high quality RF performance and a large reception range with high accuracy, a state of the art Linux based firmware and low power consumption. The precision GPS based time stamp is available, and the device can also operate as a Stratum-1 time server. The 50ns deviation timestamp is perfect for Multilateration calculations performed in Jetvision MLAT networks.
Designed as all built-in ADS-B receiver, there is no need for external software. Radarcapecan operate as stand-alone device with multi user web browser access. All users have their own settings, filters etc., regardless of access by desktop, tablet or smartphone. Many
status and performance pages support and supervise installation and operation.
For individual applications Radarcape can provide live tracking data to its data interfaces (see decoded formats in the aircraft data output table below). Separately available options provide Eurocontrol ASTERIX protocol with CAT021, CAT023 and CAT247 based on
EUROCAE ED129-B.
Radarcape is the basic ADS-B and MLAT receiver for jetvison commercial solutions e.g. Out- and Indoor or Mobile Sensor Stations.
Conclusion:
As a powerful ADS-B receiver Radarcape will support all your requirements for live flight tracking. Stand-alone or in a complex network with MLAT server support, under challenging RF conditions available with optional features like real antenna diversity, high
dynamic range at apron or close to the runway.
