Dual-band reception
Two dedicated receivers operate simultaneously: one monitors 978 MHz UAT and the other monitors 1090 MHz Extended Squitter. Both were demonstrated while moving.
IFT-01 · PORTABLE DUAL-BAND ADS-B IN RECEIVER
IFT-01 Dual-Band ADS-B Receiver
978 + 1090 traffic.
FIS-B weather. Built-in GPS.
A focused receiver with internal antennas, built-in GPS, USB-C power, its own Wi-Fi network and demonstrated GDL 90 delivery to compatible EFBs.

EARLY CONCEPT RENDERING · REV A CARRIER AND FINAL ENCLOSURE REMAIN IN DEVELOPMENTWHY IT EXISTS
The essentials should not require the most expensive receiver.
Many portable receivers bundle valuable extras such as attitude sensors, batteries, carbon-monoxide detection and displays. Those features make sense for some pilots.
IFT-01 takes a narrower approach: dual-band reception, position and a clean connection to the pilot's existing display. Be honest about limitations. Keep the setup simple. Keep the target price within reach.
CORE OPERATION
Demonstrated in real-world testing.
IFT-01 remains in enclosure and production-validation development. These results do not create guaranteed range or operating-limit specifications.
Built-in GPS
Outdoor 3D fix, continuous moving operation and actual EFB ownship delivery demonstrated.
GDL 90 output
Actual traffic and GPS delivery to Avare and iFly demonstrated.
FIS-B reception
FIS-B ground-station reception demonstrated. Additional weather-product validation is ongoing.
USB-C power
No internal battery. Starts with power and requires no customer shutdown command.
Automated power-recovery testing
IFT-01 is designed for normal plug-in/unplug operation. The engineering evaluation assembly completed 100 successful externally switched abrupt-power recovery cycles. Each accepted cycle restored Wi-Fi, both receivers, GPS and required services automatically, without customer intervention. Final production-hardware qualification remains pending.
Internal antennas
Dedicated internal 978 and 1090 antennas are the production direction; final antennas remain in development and testing.
Passive cooling
Passive thermal management and hot-environment qualification remain in progress.
Two EFB devices
Avare and iFly displayed IFT-01-derived ownship and traffic simultaneously from the same receiver. No maximum device count is claimed.
IFT-01 interface
Status, Traffic, Weather and About / Support at ift01.local.
No subscription
No receiver subscription, proprietary IFT app or customer administration is required.
No AHRS
Focused on traffic, built-in GPS, available FIS-B weather and dependable data delivery.
Simple operation
Plug in, connect to Wi-Fi “IFT-01,” open a compatible EFB, confirm the connection, fly and unplug when finished.
OFFLINE TRAFFIC DISPLAY
A clear traffic view without replacing the pilot's EFB.
The built-in display is supplemental and read-only. It is not a navigation display.
Traffic without an Internet connection.
The IFT-01 traffic display provides Radar and List views with selectable 2, 5, 10, 20 and 40 NM ranges. No Internet connection or map subscription is required. It supplements the pilot's EFB and is not a navigation display.
Identity without invented position.
Five of five independently compared aircraft identities matched. Aircraft decoding has been demonstrated on both 1090 ES and 978 UAT. Aircraft without position data were displayed without fabricated range or bearing.
CURRENT PRODUCT DIRECTION
A specification should mean something.
Demonstrated functions are separated from remaining production qualification.

Situational awareness—not collision avoidance.
IFT-01 is not FAA-certified or FAA-approved avionics. It cannot make unequipped aircraft appear, guarantee ground-assisted traffic or weather reception, replace an outside scan, or satisfy ADS-B Out requirements.
