Built around what pilots actually use.
IFT-01 focuses on dependable reception, simple data delivery, and a fast start to every flight—without piling on features that add cost or complexity.
⌖
Internal GNSS
Built-in positioning provides GPS data without relying on your tablet's internal receiver.
⌁
GDL 90 over Wi-Fi
Sends standard GDL 90 data over its own local Wi-Fi network to a compatible EFB.
◎
Internal antennas
A complete, self-contained receiver with no antenna whips or loose RF cables to attach.
⌁
USB-C external power
Runs continuously from an appropriate aircraft USB source or external battery pack.
↻
Automatic startup
Designed to start when power is applied and tolerate normal cockpit power removal.

Power.
Connect.
Fly.
A finished aviation tool—not another computer project.
We believe cockpit equipment should be easy to understand, dependable when needed, and honest about what it can and cannot do. IFT-01 is being developed around the traffic and position information pilots use most, with fewer failure points and less setup.
Useful beats impressive
Every control and feature should solve a real pilot problem. If it does not improve the flight, it does not belong in the base model.
Simple should still be capable
Dual-band reception, internal GNSS, Wi-Fi data, and clear diagnostics—packaged so ordinary pilots can use them without technical setup.
Reliability comes first
Thermal behavior, startup, power-loss recovery, antenna performance, and reconnection matter more than a long specification sheet.
Promises require testing
Compatibility and performance claims will be published after repeatable testing on production-intent hardware—not before.

COMMON QUESTIONS
IFT-01 FAQ
Clear answers now, with tested specifications added as development is completed.
What does IFT-01 do?
IFT-01 is a portable ADS-B In receiver designed to receive 978 MHz and 1090 MHz broadcasts, determine its own position through internal GNSS, and send GDL 90 data over Wi-Fi to a compatible aviation app.
How do I use it?
Connect USB-C power, join the IFT-01 Wi-Fi network from your tablet or phone, then open a supported electronic flight bag and verify the connection.
Which flight apps will IFT-01 support?
IFT-01 is being designed around GDL 90 and is intended for apps such as ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, Avare, WingX, and FlyQ. Specific compatibility and supported data types will be published only after app-by-app testing.
Will it display weather?
Support for weather products depends on received broadcasts and how each EFB handles the implemented GDL 90 data. We will publish verified weather behavior after testing rather than promise it in advance.
Why is there no internal battery?
External USB-C power avoids battery aging, added cockpit heat, charging complexity, shipping restrictions, and battery replacement concerns. Use an appropriate aircraft USB source or external battery pack.
Does it have external antennas?
No. The base-model direction uses internal 978 MHz, 1090 MHz, and GNSS antennas so the complete receiver stays self-contained. Final antenna performance will be validated in the production enclosure.
How many tablets or phones can connect?
The supported simultaneous-device count is still being tested. Until repeatable mixed-device testing is complete, we are not advertising a specific number.
Does it require a subscription or cellular service?
No receiver subscription or cellular plan is intended. IFT-01 creates a local Wi-Fi connection to your tablet or phone.
Is IFT-01 certified avionics or ADS-B Out equipment?
No. IFT-01 is a portable ADS-B In receiver for supplemental situational awareness. It does not satisfy ADS-B Out requirements and does not replace required installed equipment.
What will be included?
The planned package includes the IFT-01 receiver, a USB-C power cable, a suction mount, and quick-start information. Final package contents will be confirmed before launch.
When will it be available?
Availability will be announced after dual-band, GNSS, app compatibility, power-loss, RF, antenna, thermal, and real-aircraft testing are complete.
Important: IFT-01 provides advisory information to support situational awareness. It is not a collision-avoidance system, does not replace required installed equipment, and is not a substitute for visual scanning, official weather sources, or pilot judgment. Displayed traffic and other data depend on aircraft equipment, reception, coverage, rebroadcast availability, software compatibility, and other conditions.
