How does the ADS-B work in aeronautical telecommunication?
ADS-B Out works by broadcasting information about an aircraft’s GPS location, altitude, ground speed and other data to ground stations and other aircraft, once per second. This offers more precise tracking of aircraft compared to radar technology, which sweeps for position information every 5 to 12 seconds.

What is ADS-B (1090ES)?
Mode A/C and S transponders, as well as Traffic Collision and Avoidance Systems (TCAS), use 1090 MHz. ADS-B extends the message elements of Mode S, adding information about the aircraft and its position. This extended squitter is known as 1090ES. An international technical advisory committee chose 1090ES as the worldwide standard for ADS-B.
