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.

6 Installation
6.1 Mechanical Mounting Recommendations
PingStation is supplied with brackets and ‘u’ blots to mount to poles with a diameter
larger than ¾” and smaller than 2”. Mount PingStation as high on the pole as possible,
preferably at the top with an unobstructed 360° view of the sky.
To mount the brackets to the PingStation, screw the four (4) self-tapping screws through
the holes in the bracket into the holes in the four (4) corners of the back of the
PingStation.
