5 Introduction
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 a single POE cable which provides both power and data
communications. Configuration is accomplished via a simple web
interface. An integrated GPS provides precision timestamping for
messaging.
Multiple PingStations may be networked together to provide a wide area
low-altitude surveillance volume. Data messages are in JSON format as
described within the PingStation ICD.
