Aireon ADS-B Raises Funds, Preps for Launch
Service is coming soon.

The Aireon satellite-based ADS-B network will launch in the first quarter of 2019, and the company has signed a $200 million credit facility led by Deutsche Bank that will facilitate Aireon operations. Aireon’s ADS-B payload is installed on each of Iridium’s Next satellites and provides a means of tracking ADS-B-equipped aircraft over oceanic and remote areas where it is difficult or impossible to install ADS-B ground stations.
