FreeFlight Announces Full RANGR Connectivity With ForeFlight Mobile Version 7.1

Compatible solutions include the RANGR Blue Box Receiver and Transceiver, and the RANGR Lite Transceiver, which will begin shipping this month.

FreeFlight's certified ADS-B RANGR systems are now fully compatible with the ForeFlight Mobile app version 7.1 that was recently released. With the software update, users can now view ADS-B In weather and traffic data from FreeFlight Systems' RANGR series of ADS-B receivers via the ForeFlight Mobile app. Compatible solutions include the RANGR Blue Box Receiver and Transceiver, and the RANGR Lite Transceiver, which will begin shipping this month.

ADS-B In provides increased situational awareness, subscription-free graphical and textual weather, and traffic information. Only when it's paired with a certified and installed ADS-B Out system does the ADS-B In data become complete.

"With the ForeFlight 7.1 software update, we are now able to fully deliver the integration our customers have been asking for," said Tim Taylor, president and CEO of FreeFlight Systems. "Both companies worked intensely and collaboratively to ensure this was done the right way, and we are very pleased to have our name associated with ForeFlight."

Current ForeFlight users simply need to update to version 7.1 or later in the Apple App Store to gain the capability to integrate with FreeFlight RANGR ADS-B transceivers and receivers.
