Product Datasheet

The World’s Smallest Full Function Mode 5 IFF Transponder

Sagetech’s MX12B is the world’s first AIMS certified micro Mode 5 IFF transponder designed for ease of use, packaged in a simple all-in-one box solution.

Our next-gen MX12B transponder is the only micro Mode 5 IFF transponder fully compliant with DOD AIMS Mk XIIB specification.

The MX12B packs all the latest required functionality into a micro package. Tiny compared to traditional Mode 5 transponders, the unit includes integrated ADS-B In and Out, pressure altitude encoder, antenna diversity, and Ethernet. No additional integration of discrete components required.
