VRS X receivers are on the way.
A complete, VRS X-ready ADS-B receiver is in development. It is being designed around reliable 1090 MHz reception, straightforward installation, and hardware selected for the location where it will operate.
A ready-to-run receiver, not just a parts list.
The planned receiver will combine a low-power host, a dedicated ADS-B SDR, a high-gain 1090 MHz antenna, quality cabling, and a setup prepared to feed VRS X.
The aim is to remove the guesswork from matching hardware and provide a clean, reliable starting point for a home, business, or remote reception site.
Every installation has different constraints.
- Planned guidance for mounting on a building, balcony, roof, mast, or remote location.
- Antenna visibility and expected coverage based on local conditions.
- Cable path, connector needs, power, internet access, and weather exposure.
- Hardware configuration matched to the intended site and coverage goals.
Purchase or rent a receiver.
Purchase
Estimated price: €150–€250, depending on the selected hardware and configuration.
Rental
Estimated price: €20 per month, plus a €100 security deposit.
Indicative pricing before launch.
These estimates may change as the hardware configuration and rental terms are finalized. Availability, supported regions, and included service details will be announced closer to launch.
Designed around signal quality.
Receiver host
A compact, low-power host intended for stable 24/7 operation and prepared for a VRS X feed workflow.
ADS-B SDR
A dedicated SDR path for 1090 MHz ADS-B to keep the receiver focused on aircraft traffic.
High-gain antenna
An outdoor-ready antenna matched to the ADS-B band so weak aircraft signals have a better chance of reaching the receiver.
Quality cabling
Connectors and cable are selected for the install, because signal loss in the cable can undo an otherwise good antenna setup.
Prototype antenna tuned closely to 1090 MHz.
Current antenna testing is focused closely on the 1090 MHz ADS-B band, so more signal reaches the receiver instead of being reflected away. For technical users, the measured prototype point is SWR 1.012 at 1090 MHz.
From announcement to reception.
- Availability, final pricing, rental terms, and supported regions will be announced.
- Choose between purchasing or renting, then confirm the location and installation needs.
- The receiver will be prepared and checked before being supplied for the VRS X setup.
