I always thought it would be interesting to package all of this up and sell it to small operators. For example, a flight school could deploy a small scale RTL-SDR based ADS-B/MLAT system for tracking of their aircraft. The geographic area required to cover would be relatively small. Perhaps a 50 nm radius around the base. Of course they could also just fill in the gaps of something like Flightradar or ADS-B exchange but sometimes it’s nice to own your infrastructure.

Flight Aware offer a conceptually similar product (i.e. aimed at small operators/FBOs that want to track aircraft) but it uses data from their network rather than needing you to setup your own gear: https://www.flightaware.com/commercial/global https://www.flightaware.com/commercial/global For a more DIY approach, there's these two: http://www.coaa.co.uk/planeplotter.htm http://www.coaa.co.uk/planeplotter.htm http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/Default.aspx http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/Default.aspx
