What is Derad Network?
What is ADS-B?
To understand what Derad Network is and what it aims to accomplish, we first need to understand what ADS-B is. ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, is a technology used in aviation that allows aircraft to determine their precise location using satellite navigation. It periodically broadcasts this information, including position, speed, and planned movements, to air traffic control and other aircraft equipped with ADS-B receivers. This real-time data enhances situational awareness, improves flight safety, and helps air traffic controllers manage airspace more efficiently. ADS-B is a key component of modern air traffic management systems, especially as it provides coverage in areas where radar might be limited or unavailable.
The main problem with ADS-B ground stations is the lack of coverage in rural areas. ADS-B is an important component of overall flight safety. Every year, airlines spend billions of dollars on flight safety. However, currently, there is no incentive mechanism for ordinary people to run ADS-B ground stations. An important share of the ADS-B coverage is provided by for-profit companies.
This results in some common drawbacks, such as slow scalability, high maintenance costs, and high recurring costs, such as rent for station areas and UPS. Overall, there are many more drawbacks, but traditional ways of deploying ADS-B ground stations aren’t cost- and time-efficient.
Derad Network focuses on this coverage and incentive issue and creates solutions for aviation safety.
What is Derad Network?
Derad Network is a community-driven initiative focused on creating the largest and most advanced ADS-B transmission and processing system by encouraging individuals to contribute through ground stations.
Unlike traditional models that typically depend on for-profit companies, Derad Network allows community members to establish and manage their own ADS-B ground stations. This decentralized approach removes the need for costly land rental and equipment expenses, making it easier and more scalable for everyone involved.
It is important to have a large number of ADS-B ground stations for the continuity of data received from aircraft. Derad Network solves this problem by enabling people worldwide to become active contributors to air traffic while implementing this in a cheap and easy-to-install way. Community involvement is crucial for expanding ADS-B coverage, particularly in rural areas lacking traditional infrastructure. As mentioned before, radar is not cost-effective and cannot be installed everywhere but this is possible with ADS-B technology.
Derad Network’s Approach
Cryptocurrencies can sometimes be more effective in creating an incentivized model rather than solely focusing on decentralization, and we adopt this approach in the Derad Network. Using cryptocurrency and Layer 1 technology, we have developed an incentivized model to encourage participation.
The primary goal of the Derad Network is not merely to create a decentralized ADS-B coverage system but to address the challenge of ADS-B coverage, particularly in rural or underserved areas, by establishing reliable and consistent coverage.
ADS-B signals have become an important source of information not only for commercial vendors and others providing flight tracking information, but also for researchers and journalists tracking aircraft movements, and firms specializing in corporate intelligence gathering. Derad Network takes on the aggregation and processing of ADS-B signals, creating a decentralized platform where miners contribute real-time ADS-B data to a global marketplace. Data on aircraft locations, altitudes, speeds, etc. can be bought and sold by third parties, such as airlines, air traffic controllers, or logistics companies.
Derad Network combines the power of community and advanced technology to revolutionize aircraft tracking and create a safer, more reliable aviation network.
