Zaon 1090MX

Key Takeaways:

Zaon Flight Systems has introduced a new portable traffic alerter, the 1090MX, which integrates ADS-B 1090 extended squitter and TIS-B data.
The 1090MX is designed to work with Zaon’s existing PCAS XRX traffic detection technology, providing a "triangle of protection" for comprehensive aircraft detection, including military traffic.
While the 1090MX can function standalone for $599, Zaon recommends its use with the XRX unit (a package costs $1,995) to detect both ADS-B and non-ADS-B equipped aircraft, with both units compatible with most portable aviation GPS receivers.
