Existing Receive-Only Units Will Be Eligible For Upgrades
NavWorx is currently developing ADS-B transmitter capability,
which will be offered as an upgrade option for current ADS600
owners and integrated into the ADS600-B transmit and receive unit.
The company announced Wednesday that FCC approval of the
transmitter is expected shortly. Current ADS600 units function as
receive-only devices, however, can be upgraded for two-way
communication.
Two-way communication forms the foundation of the new NextGen
air traffic control system called ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent
Surveillance - Broadcast. The NavWorx ADS600 product line allows
pilots to receive ADS-B signals including TIS-B traffic and FIS-B
flight and weather information for display on a variety of devices.
ADS-B signals are received from Air Traffic Control as well as
other equipped aircraft. The new ADS600-B has the added capability
of transmitting an aircraft's GPS-derived position, vector and
speed. The benefits of ADS-B communications are improved air
traffic safety and enhanced situational awareness for pilots. The
NavWorx ADS600 line of products operate off an expanding network of
ADS-B transmitters across the continental U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and
Alaska.
The NavWorx product line consists of the ADS600 and PADS600,
both ADS-B receivers designed for certified, experimental, and
light-sport aircraft Standard upgrade pricing will be $1,000.00.
Customers who purchased the remote-mounted ADS600, or portable
PADS600, can upgrade with the transmitter for $600.00 through April
18, 2010. ADS600-B pricing will be $2,495.00. Customers who
purchase the remote-mounted ADS600-B can do so for $2,120.75 before
April 18, 2010. A fully refundable payment is required at the time
of purchase. NavWorx is also offering 40-percent off its
transmitter upgrade for the company's ADS600 ADS-B traffic and
weather receiver for a limited time, as well as a 15-percent
discount on its forthcoming ADS600-B transceiver unit. This new
unit will incorporate both transmit and receive capabilities. To
take advantage of these limited-time discounts, customers must make
their purchase prior to April 18, 2010.
