Unboxing G-1090 receiver


Thanks for purchasing a G-1090 air traffic receiver.

Items included in the box:

  • A G-1090 air traffic receiver
  • Components and screws for pole mounting
  • A 1090 MHz antenna and a male-to-male N-type connector
  • A GNSS antenna
  • A waterproof RJ45 Ethernet socket cover

 

If a G-1090 receiver with a FLARM option was selected, a FLARM antenna (868 MHz) is also included.

If a G-1090 receiver with a UAT option was selected, a FLARM antenna (978 MHz) is also included.

The picture below shows GPS and three other possible antennas with a length comparison. The 1090 MHz antenna (second, shorter, female N connector), the FLARM antenna (third, longer, male N connector), and the UAT antenna (fourth, longer, male connector). The antennas for Flarm and UAT should have the appropriate stickers "Flarm" or "UAT".

 

Other important tips:

  • INVOLI.live web access is required to visualize the air traffic
  • Alternatively, INVOLI APIs can be used to receive the messages from our server and present them in any preferred interface
  • The reception quality of the G-1090 Air traffic receiver is strongly dependent on the quality of the installation. Please follow carefully our recommendations to maximize the coverage of your receiver, the network of receivers, and Multilateration capabilities.
  • If you are going to use an LTE PoE router, check the coverage for your carrier in the area you want to use the G-1090 Air traffic receiver.
  • Detection of Mode S and Mode A/C aircraft is only possible via multilateration
  • Multilateration is only possible when the signal emitted by the aircraft is received by multiple (at least 5) G-1090 Air traffic receivers. The configuration of these receivers and the relative position of the aircraft have an impact on the multilateration precision.


Warning

  • Aircraft equipped with ADS-B and FLARM are broadcasting their position at regular intervals (around every second). On the other side, Mode S and Mode A/C aircraft broadcast their signal only when interrogated by a Secondary Radar (1030 MHz interrogations) or by a TCAS. For this reason, the detection of such aircraft is possible only in these specific areas where 1030 MHz radar interrogations are present.
  • Aircraft not equipped with a transponder (non-cooperative air traffic), with a switched-off transponder, or with the transponder transmitting on military modes are not visible by the G-1090 air traffic receiver
