Jetvision Airsquitter

PreviousBenefitsNextOther Supported Sensors

Last updated 4 hours ago

The 4DSKY network uses only professional 3rd party flight tracking sensors. We do not manufacture any of our own sensors, and we do not earn any commission on sales of these sensors. The Jetvision Airsquitter sensor is widely regarded by aviation professionals as the best value for money, high performance flight tracking sensor on the market, and these are now available "Neuron Ready", allowing seamless integration with the 4DSKY network.

Unlike other flight tracking sensors which are only able to receive ADS-B signals from aircraft (60% of current aircraft), the Jetvision Airsquitter is able to detect up to 5 different types of transponder. It features ADS-B, UAT and Flarm receivers as standard and has one of the highest performing MLAT capabilities in the market, enabling detection of mode-C and mode-S transponders too.

This wide range of detection capability is means you can track more aircraft, ensuring the highest standard of security and safety, and ultimately allows you to serve more applications to earn more rewards! 4DSKY is always looking for other sensors to offer variety. If you have one that you think might be suitable, please get in touch.

Types of Sensor

There are 3 different versions of the Jetvision Airsquitter sensor depending on where you live. Each jurisdiction uses different types of transponder on aircraft and has different RF frequency bands. Each Airsquitter comes with MLAT capable ADS-B as standard enabling detect of (ADS-B, mode-S and mode-C aircraft), and then has a choice of either UAT or Flarm as an additional receiver. The US for example has a lot of general aviation aircraft that use UAT, so these can only be detected with a UAT receiver. European countries tend not to use UAT, but have a high prevalence of Flarm equipped aircraft. The three types of sensor that Jetvision distribute are below:

  • UAT bundle (US customers)

  • Passive Flarm bundle (Australia and South America)

  • Active Flarm bundle (Rest of world)

What's Included?

Each bundle comes with the following components:

  • Jetvision Airsquitter receiver

  • 1090 MHz ADS‑B + GNSS antenna

  • Additional antenna (UAT, active Flarm, or passive Flarm)

  • 2 x 10m antenna cables

  • Ethernet cable

  • Power adapter

  • Mounting brackets

Note: mounting pole and tools for installation are not included

Buy a Sensor

The Jetvision Airsquitter sensor is identical for each of these bundles. The only difference is the antennas and software setup, which can be changed easily. If you are not sure which to buy, please refer to the manufacturers recommendations for your country, or you can contact them via email at for further advice and information.
