Although the portable ADS-B In market has cooled of late, at Sun ‘n Fun, Levil Technology is introducing two versions of its ADS-B portables with improved performance and capability. The iLevil 2 SW is a portable intended for glareshield mount and the new version has a larger solar cell area for better battery life, and the improved version now had dual band, so it can see both UAT and 1090ES traffic operating at any altitudes. The receiver also improved range and a better performing GPS chip. The SW also includes the protocol for FLARM traffic awareness in European airspace.
The iLevil 2 AW is intended for permanent mount in light sport and experimental aircraft and has also been improved. Levil added two serial ports to the device so owners can stream engine information, drive an autopilot or steam ADS-B Out simultaneously. Both of the improved devices work wirelessly with a range of IOS and Android apps, including limited compatibility with ForeFlight. The iLevil SW is priced at $1,195 and the AW at $1,395.
