Help expand ADSBNG coverage

Host an ADS-B receiver in Nigeria and contribute observed aircraft data to the ADSBNG network — helping build a wider picture of Nigerian airspace.

How it works

1

Receive

Install an ADS-B receiver, antenna, and readsb (or another compatible Beast source).

2

Connect

After approval, ADSBNG provides a station ID and a secure contributor token.

3

Contribute

The lightweight ADSBNG feeder securely forwards your receiver's ADS-B data to ADSBNG.

What contributing means

Your receiver only forwards ADS-B frames. It does not receive access to the ADSBNG database, analytics code, billing systems, or the proprietary decoder. The contributor feeder is outbound-only.

Once you're approved and have your station ID and token, installing takes one command on your receiver's Linux machine — no GitHub account or visit required:

curl -fsSL https://adsbng.app/feeder/install.sh -o install.sh
sudo bash install.sh

It downloads the right binary for your hardware, verifies it against a published checksum, installs the service, and starts it. Want the full walkthrough — including getting your receiver producing data first? Read the full setup guide. Prefer to read or audit the source? It's all public on GitHub.

What you need

  • An ADS-B capable SDR / receiver
  • An antenna
  • A Linux / Raspberry Pi-class computer
  • readsb or a compatible Beast source
  • A stable internet connection
  • Your approximate station location

Apply to contribute

Approximate coordinates are sufficient. They are used to associate the receiver with its coverage area and configure the decoder correctly.

You'll never be asked for a station ID, token, or any credential here — those are generated securely by ADSBNG only after your application is approved.
