Overview

pingStation3 is a dual band (978MHz and 1090MHz), networkable Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) receiver with a Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) interface enclosed in an IP67 rated protective enclosure. PingStation3 provides ground, surface, or low-altitude ADS-B surveillance and is capable as a multilateration sensor for Mode S. pingStation3 is robust enough to be permanently mounted outdoors in harsh environmental conditions, and small enough to be used as a mobile asset for roaming operations. Installation is simple with included pole-mount bracket, and a single POE cable which provides both power and data communications. An integrated GPS provides precision timestamping for messaging. Multiple pingStation3 may be networked together to provide a wide area low-altitude surveillance volume. Data messages options are available, including ASTERIX CAT021, JSON, and Compressed VRS format as described within the pingStation3 ICD.
