Introducing the ping20Si Mode S ADS-B Transponder
The ping20Si Mode S ADS-B transponder is expertly engineered to fulfill the rigorous demands of professional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems. Weighing a mere 20 grams, this device facilitates secure and compliant operations within controlled airspace by transmitting aircraft location and altitude data to Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar and Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS).
Adhering to the RTCA DO-181E and DO-260B standards, this unit features an integrated battery-supported SBAS GPS and a temperature-compensated pressure sensor, ensuring accurate airborne positioning independent of external systems.
Crafted for effortless installation and broad compatibility, the ping20Si accommodates various control protocols, including MAVLink and GDL90. This guarantees seamless integration with popular ground control systems and autopilot frameworks such as PixHawk.
The transponder’s low size, weight, and power (SWaP) profile is complemented by its operational versatility, requiring no autopilot integration for basic operations and functioning on standard 11–28V power supplies. Its compact design, plug-and-play setup, and SMA-terminated antenna interface facilitate easy adaptation across a range of drone platforms, especially in airspace with strict visibility and safety regulations.
