ADS-B is the Next Generation Air Transportation System technology is an intelligent system which equips planes with GPS, or, as the company says, is redefining the paradigm of communications and navigation and surveillance in Air Traffic Management.

ADS-B Technologies, LLC is based in Anchorage, Alaska. The FAA has floated a deadline that airlines and private aircraft install ADS-B avionics by 2020 but by 2013, it is expected to be available countrywide.
