5 Introduction
pingStation 3 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 3 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 3 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 pingStation 3
’s may be networked together to provide a wide area
low-altitude surveillance volume. Data messages are available in multiple
formats as described within the pingStation 3 ICD (UAV-1005951-001).
