APPLY FOR A FLIGHT RADAR 24 RECEIVER TO HELP US TRACK AVIATION
Host a free FR24 receiver
Are you interested in helping us increase ADS-B and MLAT coverage in your area? Each week Flightradar24 sends out 30-50 complete ADS-B receiver sets (including receiver, antenna, and cables – no external computer needed) free of charge to suitable hosts around the world. Also, all hosts get complimentary access toFlightradar24 Premium.
We prioritize applications from areas where we lack coverage as well as applications from airports. However, locations where we do already have coverage can also be of interest. Redundancy and overlapping coverage results in significantly better low-altitude coverage and coverage reliability. And for MLAT to work, we need a large number of Flightradar24 ADS-B receivers relatively close to each other.
The requirements for hosting Flightrada24’s ADS-B equipment are:
- able to offer excellent reception conditions – i.e. the antenna will be placed outside on a roof, mast or similar and have 360 degree unobstructed view of the sky
- able to get the antenna to its intended location and receiver online within one week from receiving the equipment
- able to keep the receiver online 24/7 feeding our servers via an uninterrupted internet connection
- If things for some reason doesn’t work out – I am OK with sending the equipment back (at Flightradar24’s expense) at our request
