World’s First FAA Certified Micro Transponder to Have ADS-B In/Out Sagetech’s next-gen MXS miniature transponder provides Mode A, C, S, and 1090 MHz ADS-B In/ Out and is suitable for use worldwide by crewed or uncrewed systems. Each transponder comes with user-friendly command and control software with a built-in traffic display for situational awareness or can be used plug and play with PX4, Ardupilot, and many other autopilots. The MXS is the ideal transponder for improving aircraft visibility and safety, especially when small size and low power consumption are critical. DETECT AND AVOID CORNERSTONE The certified MXS is the cornerstone of Sagetech’s Detect and Avoid (DAA) architecture which will support Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations by their customers. Sagetech’s DAA products will accelerate the next generation of UAV-based services for both defense and civil customers. Together with the MXS, Sagetech’s ACAS-based DAA platform will provide the most advanced, certifiable DAA system for crewed and uncrewed aircraft with onboard, full power, low SWaP collision avoidance capability. INTEGRATED SOLUTION The MX family represents the only logical solution for an OEM positioning their aircraft in both the civil and military markets. UAS providers can simply install the MX12B for their military customers or swap it out with an MXS for their civil customers. No additional integration, no software changes, no aircraft changes. The MXS provides uncrewed and crewed aircraft OEMs with exciting options they didn’t have before. • One box solution including ADS-B In/Out • Unprecedented micro-SWaP • Full Diversity • 1090 MHz ADS-B In/Out with Flexible I/O – RS232, RS422, ethernet #FlySaferWithSagetech To learn more, visit: www.sagetech.com “Certification means safety and trust, to know that you will reliably detect all 1090 MHz ADS-B traffic.” — Tom Furey | CEO
