Transponder Redefined
Mode S + ADS-B OUT Transponder meets airspace requirements worldwide.
Integrated Certified GPS Receiver - tailBeaconX includes a certified SBAS GPS receiver and antenna. No additional GPS is required.
Aireon Compatible - The tailBeaconX with integrated dipole antenna is specifically designed to maximize performance when tracked by the Aireon space-based ADS-B satellite constellation.
LED Lighting - The integrated 20,000 hour rated LED position light ensures the tailBeaconX draws less power than your old incandescent bulb.
Think Outside the Airframe
tailBeaconX is the world’s first transponder designed as a rear position light replacement. The 1090MHz Mode S ADS-B OUT transponder satisfies the requirements for all existing and inevitable ADS-B regulations worldwide, especially those leveraging space-based ADS-B. Fly knowing no matter your destination, tailBeaconX will keep your aircraft connected.
World-Wide Coverage
tailBeaconX embraces the future, providing precision ADS-B data to the Aireon satellite network without the need for diversity antennas. When it comes to terra firma, tailBeaconX also exceeds the performance of traditional panel installed transponders that use belly mount antennas.
Less Ground Time Easiest Install
tailBeaconX mounts in place of your existing rear position light. The GPS, space-based, and ground-based antennas are integrated in to the lens housing. No new holes or penetration of pressure vessels are required making tailBeaconX the lowest-hassle easiest install period.
