Post in wrong Topic.
Sorry about that...

Just curious, Has anyone measured the internet traffic volume in/out for an FR24 feed over - say - a month?

This might seem a strange question these days when everyone has broadband and the usage is classed as trivial - but for people in remote locations with a higher priced satellite connection (like community Internet users on Christmas or Cocos islands http://www.ciia.cx/home.html), it could be relevant.

I am also keen to find out.

Since it is claimed the FR24 receiver update the FR24.com Server every second and WSSS have very heavy traffic 24/7 = I wonder how much Upload Data I am using to feed FR24.com per month.

Mike .. shhhhhh... not so loud.

The competitor will have a hard time living up to their claims of 9 to 15 times the number of receivers in their network.

100 x 15 = 1,500 receivers to be sent out per week is tough to achieve.

I applied for the free FR24. Still awaiting for FR24 receiver. Station will be located in Pismo Beach, CA, United States near San Luis Obispo Regional Airport (KSBP). I live right under a major airway between KLAX and KSFO.

As SoCalBrian quoted from our Facebook post almost 100 receivers was sent out from Germany this week. I don't have the exact numbers but I would estimate roughly 30 Europe, 30 North America, 30 rest of the world.

Thanks .

Better get someone in Haikou or Sanya in Hainan Island (PRC) to host that receiver. Hainan Island is under the direct path of flights from China & HK to Bangkok and WSSS.

Could only be patient for now... just like when we wanted a feeder at WADD. Now, let's just hope there's a receiver at Haikou/Sanya with good coverage soon. In the mean time I am waiting for news when the FR24 receiver will be for sale.

Birdie,

one receiver heading your way... or perhaps they could just recall the Hanoi VVNB receiver and get it sent to you, it hardly gets online and coverage is limited.. what a waste of a 500 euro++ receiver!!!

At this rate, THAT competitor will have a hard time catching up getting connected ( it claimed to have between 9 - 15 times the number of receivers of THEIR competitors, i.e. if competitor has 1 receiver, it has 9 -15 receivers ).

But, I saw plenty of miserable empty air spaces without aircrafts in their Coverage Map.
