Overview:

PingStation is a dual band (978MHz and 1090MHz), networkable ADS-B receiver with a Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) interface enclosed in an IP67 rated protective enclosure. PingStation provides ground, surface, or low-altitude ADS-B surveillance within line of sight of the antenna, with range dependent upon the output power of the transmitting ADS-B transceiver. PingStation 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 requires a single POE cable which provides both power and data communications. An integrated GPS provides position and precision timestamping for messaging.

Note: 

Multiple PingStations may be networked together to provide a wide area low-altitude surveillance volume. Data messages are available in JSON or Compressed VRS.

Features:

A dual-band receiver powered by the groundbreaking uAvioinix ping™ firmware defined radio. pingStation receives ADS-B equipped aircraft over 200 miles away on both 978MHz (UAT) and 1090ES. As an added benefit the dedicated ping™ ADS-B radio features extremely low power consumption, more dynamic range and much less heat generation when compared with SDR solutions.
