There are currently 35,000 terrestrial receivers in the ADS-B network by the company. To the dismay of any flying fan, lags, delays, and errors can occasionally occur. The aim is to remove these wrinkles.
Additionally, it is essential to maintain situational awareness and gather data like GPS positions, unique IDs, directions, speed, and altitude in busy areas like airports and crowded flight corridors. However, the majority of receivers need an unobstructed “line of sight” to make sure that data is transferred correctly. Therefore, coverage redundancy and accuracy increase as the number of receivers increases. (As per Simple Flying.com)
