Gliding clubs in Canada and around the globe have a project called Open Glider Network (OGN). http://wiki.glidernet.org/about Aircraft are using a proprietary collision avoidance device called a Flarm -or- an inexpensive, programmable GPS/radio such as a TTGO T-Beam. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=TTGO+t-beam&t=newext&atb=v328-1&ia=web Those devices transmit their positions. Dotted around the landscape are land-based OGN receivers that feed captured positions into the OGN database on the Internet.
