WhatA hardware-as-a-service network deploying low-cost ADS-B receivers across Africa, South America, and other coverage gaps, selling the aggregated data to flight tracking platforms and aviation authorities.
SignalUsers note that flight data coverage in Africa and other developing regions is extremely sparse, meaning entire continents are essentially dark zones for the flight tracking ecosystem that billions of travelers and logistics companies depend on.
Why NowSatellite-based ADS-B (via Aireon/Iridium) is expensive; meanwhile cheap SDR hardware and Starlink backhaul now make it feasible to deploy ground-based receivers in remote areas at a fraction of previous costs.
MarketFlight data consumers (FlightRadar24, FlightAware, airlines, cargo logistics, governments). TAM for aviation data services is ~$2B. Current gap: no one has built dense ground-station coverage outside North America, Europe, and East Asia.
MoatPhysical network of deployed receivers creates a strong infrastructure moat — each new receiver improves data quality, making the network more valuable and harder to replicate.
