Title: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: AirNav Development on March 10, 2012, 08:04:47 PM: AirNav Systems is happy to announce the decision to provide up to 50 free RadarBox units to expand network coverage in certain areas of the world. This is an unique opportunity for some users to start using the market leader in ADS-B receivers and for AirNav Systems to further expand its RadarBox network coverage.

Conditions:
- User has to be located in one of the areas listed below;
- Have good reception conditions (unobstructed view of the sky and preference for external aerial);
- Be able to keep the RadarBox software running H24 (thus feeding AirNav RadarBox network with local data);
- Signing of an Official Agreement with AirNav Systems with the compromise to keep the unit On and connected to the internet H24;

If you know of any interested user in one of the areas below please contact him mentioning this special AirNav Systems campaign.

Areas we are looking for to expand network coverage:

Europe:
- Spain: Northwestern Spain (Galiza), Canary Islands;
- Portugal: Madeira Island;
- France: Brest, Nantes;
- Denmark: Faroe Islands, Greenland;
- Iceland;
- Norway: Bergen;
- Russia: anywhere except Moscow;

Africa:
- Anywhere but depending on AirNav Systems final decision;

- Brazil: Anywhere except in RJ/SP/Porto Alegre/Brasilia (subject to AirNav Systems final decision);
- We are looking for data from any other South American country;

North America:
- Canada: Newfoundland and Labrador;
- USA: Hawaii;

Note that AirNav Systems reserves the final decision to provide a free RadarBox unit according to the above requirements.

Airport URKK - 20 km away from me. I live in the 12 storey building, the horizon is clear. On the roof of the house already has an antenna for receiving signals ADSB-, ordered LNA.
I have a leased line Internet access (speed 7 Mbit / s)/ Given my location ADSB broadcast signal to the network can be interesting for many enthusiasts. I would be very grateful if my candidacy would be in the list of contenders for the receiver.

I read your post about the possibility of expanding coverage radarboh and I think that you will accept my terms.
The city has two airfields, civil and military where (UUBI) based aircraft grade A50 (AVAX). It is also not far from my place of airways in the East.
My UHF antenna is located at a height of 45 meters from the ground, the height above sea level 176 meters. It is possible to install an additional antenna mast for air. I have Internet access at speeds of 10 Mbit / s, it is possible to create a single personal computer with a 24/7 (hours).
It has long dreamed of having a device RadarBox to expand the radio.

Post by: Tahii on March 15, 2012, 12:02:44 AM: Hey, I would be willing to host one in Invercargill, New Zealand, near Invercargill Airport NZNV.

We don't have a lot of ADSB traffic down here, but AirNZ is introducing some new ATR-72's around the middle of the year, and these will have ADSB onboard. We mainly get ATR and Q300 traffic.

As far as I'm aware there's no online coverage down here at all, be it AirNavSystems, or others such as flightradar24.

I should also be able to get approach traffic into Queenstown and Dunedin International Airports, both uncovered as well.

I'm a radio amateur (ZL4OM) and a general geek, so installing is no problem.

Post by: AirNav Development on March 15, 2012, 02:16:13 AM: As posted before please send all your requests to:
http://www.airnavsystems.com/contact.php

Most of the requests until now have been approved and RadarBox network will significantly improve its coverage in the next weeks/months.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: AirNav Development on March 15, 2012, 02:38:42 AM: Regarding our initiative it is, again, amazing the number of requests we are receiving to deploy extra RadarBox units.
We've already approved 33 new locations and we have over 70 on hold waiting for more information from users.
We will give preference to users with External ADS-B Antennas.

Please share this Free RadarBox program with any friend you may know located anywhere we mentioned.
At this time we would be extremelly interested in users in Latin America and Africa.
We are also waiting for users in Newfoundland (Gander), Greenland and Iceland.

I'm in Abu Dhabi, with a three storey property and can fit a roof aerial. I am close to Dhafra, Bateen, and about 500 metres from Abu Dhabi International Airport. Access would be via stand-alone laptop on 24/7.

I have one of the original SBS-1's (an early one) which is coming up for honorable retirement having given sterling service for many years around the world, so I am looking to replace with Airnavbox.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage

Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: Runway 31 on March 26, 2012, 05:12:31 PM: Janesch,

The latest version of Radarbox is able to be downloaded from here, http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/anrb/403/ANRB403Setup.exe I would suggest you save your Mylog file before de=installing the existing Radarbox version and replace the Mylog in updated version once installed.

The database can be updated from here, if you have not already done so. http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/anrb/dbupdater/ANRBDBUpdater20120127.exe

To increase your coverage you will need an oudoor antenna whcih you may find details of where to obtain one if you google in Brazil.

Regards

Alan

Hi Janesch,

I am from São Paulo and some time ago i found an interesting guide about converage with ADS-B receiver, link follows : http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/SBS/Article/Barebones41_Reception.htm

Large areas of North America are pretty barren and could do with some coverage.

Currently we are adding Cape Verde (important for traffic between Europe and South America) and India.

As usually if you know any users or have any internet forum access to possible new stations in Africa, Asia and SOuth America let us know.

Or return the package to the UK, I will not take care of that cost, as is reportedly in the contract with AirNav systems, they become responsible for all shipping costs for that reason I sent the documents I have moved from the courier company to give me an answer to this little problem.

Drazick, come on mate, you are getting a free radar box,

Interesting take on it... I wonder who actually owns the box?.

Given that he has a contract that says Airnav will pay for all shipping costs, I don't think its unreasonable that they pay for the duties to get it to the final location.

The bottom line is that Airnav benefit from having the increased coverage on their network, not the guy who's paying for internet access and electricity for it and the computer to be online 24*7.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: RodBearden on April 21, 2012, 01:25:16 AM: PJM

1 - Where does AirNav say that they will pay for all shipping costs?
2 - do "shipping costs" include local duties and taxes? They don't on eBay, for example.
3 - how many users would only pay for internet access because they had a RadarBox?
4 - the cost of a RadarBox equates to an awful lot of electricity, and many users keep their boxes on 24/7 no matter how much they paid for their box.
5 - Do you have a qualification in gift-horse mouth inspection, or do you just do it as a hobby ;-)

Point 5 is only a joke, but I don't think it's a problem that AirNav, as well as all the network users, will benefit from the increased coverage that this offer is already generating.

1 - Where does AirNav say that they will pay for all shipping costs?

Apparently in the contract Airnav have with (at least some) of the people volunteering to run these "free" boxes, according to Drazick who has been accepted into the program, and would have signed the said contract. Being asked to pay 60 € for a "free" box doesn't sound like what was offered to me.

Quote from: Drazick on April 19, 2012, 06:58:43 PM

I guess its Airnav's call - they can pay the duties and get coverage in the Canary Islands, or the box can be returned to them.

Quote
3 - how many users would only pay for internet access because they had a RadarBox?

Not sure about where you live but we don't have unlimited internet here - there are quotas, and if you have a device uploading 24*7 then it will be eating into your allowance. Its not nice being capped when you go over your allowance.

Quote
4 - the cost of a RadarBox equates to an awful lot of electricity, and many users keep their boxes on 24/7

Most people don't leave their computers running 24*7, so doing so would add considerably to their electricity bill - possibly a few dollars per day - multiply that by months or years and the additional costs would be considerable. The radarbox hardware doesn't run without a computer and software.

Quote
5 - Do you have a qualification in gift-horse mouth inspection, or do you just do it as a hobby ;-)

Well I could have put my hat in the ring for one of these boxes, but I didn't because I don't see any benefit to myself, only additional costs and inconvenience.

Sorry if you don't like my opinion, but that's what it is.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: jaskel on April 21, 2012, 04:16:49 AM: oh come on, the amount of data this would upload is next to nothing.

I kno hen i buy from ebay with free shipping, this doesnt include duties! If I buy from overseas and pay 40 bux shipping then pay another 10 for duties then so be it.

The guy should have contacted his local customs office and found out if he would have to pay duties, its not up to Air Nav.

I am very grateful to be on the program and what they have provided me, not only do I get to expand my interest/hobby of Aviation, I get to spread it with everyone.

Thank you Air Nav, you guys rock!

Let ol mate send his box back, then give it to someone that genuinely wants to help and will appreciate it.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: neroon79 on April 21, 2012, 05:02:52 AM: Upload is next to nothing? I have approximately 60MB to 70MB per Day makes 2000MB to 2500MB per month. I wouldn't say that's next to nothing... Especially if you have to pay by volume or time.

As for Germany: One Netbook with Radarbox plus Preamp running 24/7 makes approx. 40€ per year, at current electricity price per kWh. A Quad Core Desktop PC would be consuming... ..., well, I don't want to think that one through.

The duties for the Box's price would have been much higher I guess...

Anyway, too bad, that I live in an area with already good coverage...

Although, how is it about a replacement box for my first Box that is running for about three and a half years non stop now (that's about 30000 hours). Green Power LED: Dead, Blue LED: almost dead, white LED: 60% brightness. Airnav, you should consider not to run the Status LEDs on the edge of the rated forward current. ;-) Are there any information about long-term reliability of the boxes available? Usual Home Cinema and HiFi is AFAIK set to an average life time of 20000 hours. After more than 30.000 hours of running time I'm asking myself, when I should start to put some money aside for a replacement box.

Post by: AirNav Support on April 21, 2012, 01:52:03 PM: Drazick,

Firstly putting all this information on the forum is very naive of you. The contract etc.. and other details were between you and us and should NOT be placed in the public etc.. and we have removed it. Furthermore Andre and us did reply to you. If your not getting the emails please PM and we will reply to you that way.

Furthermore we are also shocked to learn you have RadarBox anyway, why couldn't you share the data from that box. Unfortunately Sir as you have put all these details on the forum you will get other customers getting annoyed at you. Its best you deal with us one to one and NOT over the fourm otherwise expect to get some comments you won't like from other customers.

And would It be better for me to test the waters by getting one of the monthly services to see what it’s all about before dishing out $500.00 for a Radar Box type product?

There's a facility called Plane Plotter (Google it for more info.) which combines info. from many users and gives a best guess location.

I can already see a station in Singapore on my map - http://batchgeo.com/map/3f48ac3541b053f62c65ab37df085be6

That station in Singapore is my station.

But my antenna is on my room window 95 metres above sea level facing South China Sea ( NOT West Philippines Sea ! ).

For some strange reasons, when aircraft entered Singapore ATC FIR, they switched off Tracking and in Mode-S.

Do you want coverage from Sabah ( Island of Borneo ), East Malaysia ?

That will allow coverage from part of South China Sea to the north, Celebus Sea and Zulu Sea, the currently hotly contested Sparley Islands chain ( South East of South Vietnam ) and part of Indonesia.

I know of a person who can help. His location is on a Hill-top in Kota Kinabalu with good views all round.

If "yes", I can get that person to email you.

Can you please give us an update on how the new boxes are doing?

I've noticed several of the new boxes, for example in Russia, Georgia and northern Indonesia, are really producing great returns, but unless I'm just looking at the wrong time of day, we're seeing very little from places like the Maldives, Northern Australia, and Cabo Verde.

Are these places struggling to set up external antennas, or have they sold their free boxes on eBay?

Northern Australia

from the list published previously, there only appears to be one station (at Darwin) for the whole North of Australia.

Most traffic to Europe or Asia would travel over North Western Australia, so Darwin wouldn't see it (if Darwin is up and running?)

Unlike the 50 of you who are lucky to get the box FREE from AirNav -

- I paid for my own box after a 1-year nightmare with AirNav's dealer in Ohio who won't accept any other payment other than Advanced payment by Telegraphic Transfer - but when asked for Bank Details - they went radio silence.

Finally when the Box arrived, I was slammed with a heavy goods & Sales Tax (GST) .

I guess I have to home-brew my own external antenna and stick it out of my window.

I also run an ISP so I have access to bandwidth to feed the box to the net if needed. One of my towers is somewhat near Detroit Tower so with a directional antenna I could possibly pick it up quite well.

Also like to add that this area is flat as a board so I can pick up traffic in all directions for miles. I also notice from your new website beta that most of the aircraft fed in the Detroit area is from Cleveland. Why use them when you can get a more accurate source right next to Detroit? :)

So if you are interested in setting me up with a box I'd be happy to host it.

Post by: AlexEremenko on March 07, 2013, 12:57:43 AM: Hi!
I also would like to receive RadarBox.
I live in Russia, near Omsk, in 10 kilometers from Omsk-Tsentralny airport (UNOO).
My coordinates are 54.961078, 73.033054
It is rural area, sky is clear, no high buildings around. More of that, my house is located just under point of 4th turn of arrival scheme. So, almost each morning planes are passing by above my roof.

I will be happy to put RadarBox 24/7 on-line to expand your coverage!

Sorry for the delay, your email was passed to be checked whether you matched the time and we have had quite a few of these recently which have caused a delay, we have emailed you now.

Post by: CoastGuardJon on April 23, 2013, 09:19:57 AM: Hi AN, what's the situation with these Boxes now? Did you allocate the 50, if so, where are they sited please. Are you still taking applications (no good for me to apply, I'm on the Lizard Peninsula already feeding in from 250 - 300 nm west out into the Atlantic!), it would be helpful and informative for us to know.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: AirNav Support on April 23, 2013, 09:58:29 AM: The orginal 50 was allocated, I think there is a post earlier which mentions most of these. We are still however on the look out for other areas so we are still sending out boxes.
Title: Re: 50 Free RadarBox Units to Expand Network Coverage
Post by: CoastGuardJon on April 23, 2013, 05:49:40 PM: Hi AN Support, thanks for that - please keep us informed as new locations are known, we can have a look to see what traffic they've added.

Post by: mahmoodbinkafil on May 05, 2013, 01:50:45 PM: Hi,
I had a RadarBox but it stopped working. I have sent it for repair but its been more than a week and it hasn't yet reached UK. I would like to request for a free receiver, or, an external antenna so that I can cover maximum range and share my flights.

I live in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Thanks.

Thank you!

My coordinates is:

It's important region, expand coverage from russian east Khabarovsk city to west, Irkutsk city.
No alternatives in this region to this radar.

I've done a quick update of the stations map with stations seen over the last couple of weeks.

(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8165/7499726196_32c555d225_m_d.jpg) (http://batchgeo.com/map/3f48ac3541b053f62c65ab37df085be6)

Please note that this map keeps exceeding viewing limit numbers, so maybe time for a new one.
