FLARM is open to developers, avionics manufacturers, and system integrators. Modules and System-on-Chip solutions are available to easily integrate FLARM into other products or used to build stand-alone devices.
Two different solutions are available: PowerFLARM OEM and FLARM Atom. PowerFLARM OEM consists of a range of modules that can be soldered onto a carrier PCB (leadless chip carrier, LCC). It supports radio diversity for true 360° coverage and reception of transponder and ADS-B signals (1090MHz).
FLARM Atom consists of a single System-on-Chip (SoC), aimed at highly miniaturized applications. Radio and logic components are integrated into a single component, requiring only a handful of additional discrete components, thus providing full FLARM functionality in a tiny package.
