GLOBAL AIR TRAFFIC DATA
We empower application service providers and data teams to develop innovative solutions and drive business improvements, using global air traffic data powered by our advanced nanosatellite constellation and other terrestrial receivers.
Global ADS-B Data and Analytics
Spire Aviation offers a simple-to-use API (application programming interface) to access our satellite and ground based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data. Spire’s APIs are developer-friendly, so you can plug and play effortlessly adding new data and key insights into your systems. In addition to the complete documentation, we offer personalized support that helps you start using data and building apps quickly.
ILLUMINATING A VOID
Current terrestrial and ADS-B receivers cover only a small part of the world. Spire tracks more than 50,000 aircraft daily and provides over 150 million position reports a day, with coverage over poles, oceans, and radar-blind land masses.
Better than Traditional Radar Systems
We provide situational awareness without the low altitude – line of sight – constraints and sector boundaries of traditional radar systems.
AVIATION WEATHER
Weather is the primary disruptor of airline operations. Benefit from fused ADS-B position data with Aviation Weather variables such as Winds aloft and Clear Air Turbulence.
