ROWLETT, Tx./September 23, 2008 — NavWorx Inc., the leader in portable ADS-B receiver technology, announced today the PADS® product line consisting of the PADS600 and ADS600, two ADS-B receivers designed for both certified and experimental/lsa aircraft.
"Pilots can take advantage of the situational awareness that NextGen and ADS-B offers today at an extremely low acquisition cost," said Bill Moffitt, NavWorx's vice president of sales. "Both traffic and weather functionality is available with no service fees."
