The trouble with ANY of these personal traffic avoidance products is that they are invisible to the Air Traffic Service provider.

ONE of the safety benefits of ADS-B IN/OUT was that it could help prevent collisions... by providing in-cockpit alerts.

It's other safety and efficiency benefits rely on ATS receiving aircraft positional data ... which these personal devices don't provide.

Apples with apples ....
