Introducing the ping1090i: A Cutting-Edge ADS-B Transceiver for sUAS
The ping1090i, developed by uAvionix, is an advanced, lightweight ADS-B transceiver designed specifically for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) that require superior situational awareness in both controlled and uncontrolled airspaces.
This innovative device features dual-band traffic detection capabilities, operating on 978MHz UAT and 1090MHz ES frequencies. It is equipped with an integrated SBAS GPS and a high-precision barometric pressure sensor, enabling real-time Detect and Avoid (DAA) functionality. Weighing in at just 26 grams and consuming minimal power, the ping1090i is ideal for UAVs that are constrained by size and weight, making it suitable for various civil and tactical applications.
Recognized as a Basic Electronic Conspicuity Device under the CAA CAP-1391 (UK) and CASA CAO 20.18 (Australia) regulations, the ping1090i simplifies compliance for international drone operations. It also supports Mavlink and GDL 90 protocols, ensuring effortless integration with widely-used autopilot systems such as Ardupilot, Pixhawk, and Auterion Skynode.
