Intended use
The Air!Squitter from jetvision is a powerful ADS-B receiver with everything the drone operator needs for professional live flight tracking. The Air!Squitter combines ADS-B, MLAT and FLARM in one device.
The ADS-B receiver has a small OLED display to show the most important operating parameters. MLAT is provided via the Jetvision FlightTracking network. There are interfaces to FlightRadar24, FlightAware, Opensky Network, Planeplotter and ADS-B Exchange.
It can be displayed and operated via any browser, via WLAN or LAN, even simultaneously for multiple users via desktop, tablet or smartphone. The web view also provides extensive map displays including filter and control options, status, range and performance diagrams.
In addition to the Air!Squitter FLARM, the bundle includes the following: ADS-B through the OPA-5-GPS antenna 1090 MHz GNSS with real 5.5 dBi gain; FLARM with the high gain active antenna Active Diapason Antenna High Gain 868MHz FLARM, 2 pieces of coaxial cable 10m N-connector/SMA-connector.
Note: The Air!Squitter FLARM bundle with active antenna is currently not intended for the USA, Australia and South America, as different frequencies are used there, which is why the active antenna does not work there. With a passive antenna, the Air!Squitter FLARM can also be used in these countries.

Product Features
-
Flight tracking in real time
ADS-B, multilateration (MLAT) or FLARM via OGN (Open Glider Network). Air! Squitter can display many sources simultaneously. Different map displays (standard or ATCmap) can be selected with display filters. It is also possible to display flight zones or airfields.
-
Including multilateration (MLAT)
By default, the Air! squitter is registered to the Jetvision Flight Tracking Network. If other receivers are in the vicinity, MLAT is also available. Aircraft with a Mode-S transponder, but without ADS-B, are then also displayed (e.g. military or private aircraft).
-
Powerful device
Everything you need for high-performance flight tracking is built right into the Air! squitter: Web server for access with multiple users and devices (PC, tablet or smartphone), WiFi, LAN and USB, WiFi access point for the connection as well as FLARM, various maps, OLED, status and performance pages, aircraft list and many filter options.
-
24/7 operation
The Air! squitter has built-in interfaces to Flightradar24, FlightAware, Planeplotter and OpenSky Network. You can continue to use your existing account - in round-the-clock operation (24/7) without an additional computer. Built-in WLAN and minimal cabling make operation simple, tidy and cost-effective.
-
Open for retrofitting
Thanks to an internal M.2 interface, the Air!Squitter is ready for future upgrades/extensions (e.g. GSM modem).
