The FAA\u2019s testing took place between New Jersey and New York, while Nav Canada\u2019s testing happened in Edmonton airspace. Both used ADS-B transponders operating at 125 watts. Nav Canada\u2019s Director of Flight Operations Anthony MacKay said that everything used in the test is commercially available other than the down-tuned power output on its ADS-B system.<\/p>\n<p>Around one-third of the 66 Aireon ADS-B receivers, which are designed to avoid the line-of-sight limitations of traditional land-based ADS-B and radar, successfully received data during the tests. The idea is that each receiver has an independent opportunity to receive the data, creating a redundancy that Aireon considers vital to authenticating position information.<\/p>\n<p>Aireon is attempting to position its satellite-based ADS-B as a full-spectrum, global solution.
