February 8, 2017 – Unmanned Systems Source is pleased to announce that the PingBuddy 2 from uAionix is now available for pre-order.
Units are expected to ship at the end of March 2017.
Thanks to its small form-factor and inexpensive price, the original PingBuddy ADS-B receiver was a popular choice with prosumers and hobbyists, alike.
uAvionix continues its path of innovation by offering a number of improvements to this popular item.
uAvionix describes the pingBuddy 2 as the world’s smallest and lightest Wi-Fi ADS-B receiver. It utilizes the GPS in Android and iOS devices. For phones not equipped with GPS, an external Bluetooth or GPS dongle is needed. Improvements include:
It also provides real-time air traffic reporting and weather updates to the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) of choice. Easy to use, simply power pingBuddy 2, join the wireless network, launch EFB software, and enjoy subscription-free traffic and weather.
The pingBuddy 2 is a dual band (978MHz/1090MHz) ADS-B receiver with integrated Wi-Fi. It receives subscription-free in-flight weather (FIS-B) directly from FAA ground stations. FIS-B includes:
There is no assembly, software downloads or configuration required for the PingBuddy 2; users simply add power.
