Why 55,000 Ground Receivers Are Now Critical To Boeing’s Future

The next competitive battleground for Boeing is not only new airframes but also what exactly these aircraft are capable of offering once they are in service. Boeing has signed an agreement to access live and historical flight data, drawn from a global network of more than 55,000 ADS-B ground receivers. The idea is to feed this kind of stream into Boeing Global Services’ digital platform, improving fleet performance and maintenance outcomes for all the manufacturer’s various customers.
