Zaon 1090MX

Key Takeaways:

Zaon Flight Systems has introduced the 1090MX, a portable traffic alerter that integrates ADS-B 1090 extended squitter and TIS-B data with their existing PCAS XRX technology to provide a "triangle of protection" in flight.
The 1090MX functions as a standalone ADS-B and TIS-B receiver for $599, but Zaon recommends using it with the PCAS XRX unit for comprehensive detection of both ADS-B and non-ADS-B equipped aircraft.
A package including the PCAS XRX unit and a Bluetooth version of the 1090MX sells for $1,995, with both units being compatible with most portable aviation GPS receivers.
