The pingStation 3 is a high-integrity, dual-frequency ADS-B ground receiver engineered to deliver reliable aircraft tracking for UAS operations, airport surface monitoring, and integrated traffic awareness.
Designed to endure extreme conditions, it encapsulates dual-band reception (978MHz UAT and 1090MHz) in a rugged IP67 enclosure, combining receiver, GPS, and antenna into a single Power-over-Ethernet device. This compact setup enables simplified field deployment with minimal infrastructure requirements, while its quick pole-mount clamp ensures secure installation in tactical or remote locations.
Engineered for networked airspace intelligence, the pingStation 3 supports ASTERIX CAT 021 message formats and multiple data outputs including JSON and Compressed VRS, enabling seamless integration with UAS Ground Control Stations, Flight Information Displays, and enterprise-level ATC systems.
From powering detect-and-avoid capabilities in the Vantis BVLOS network to enhancing situational awareness at Class G UK airports, this receiver establishes a critical foundation for low-altitude surveillance. Configuration and firmware updates are effortlessly managed through a browser-based interface, ensuring continuous adaptability in evolving operational environments.
