'Archaic' ground-based ADS-B transceivers owned by AsA on Australian territory are worse than a satellite-based transceivers owned by a 3rd party based in an offshore location...c'mon Dick! Take a step back and have an objective look at that...

But yes, the Aireon capability will be good augmentation to terrestrial ADS-B networks worldwide. In comms hierarchy, a terrestrial network is preferable to a satellite network where practical.

Edited to replace 'receivers' with transceivers
