ERA’s squitter beacon (Squid) helps airports address this issue by providing an easily installed and standards compliant vehicle-mounted ADS-B transponder. Squid by ERA broadcasts the position of each vehicle using exactly the same technology used by aircraft. Squid by ERA can be permanently or magnetically mounted to tugs, fire appliances, de-icing equipment and all airside vehicles. This ensures that the complete picture is available to the control tower, with each vehicle clearly and uniquely identified, providing an essential addition to any Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS).
Squid by ERA is small, lightweight and easy to install in any vehicle. The standard package includes:*
