Omni-directional Ground
Station with BLE/Wi-Fi
Technology
Introduction
OGS station is an ADS-B and BLE/Wi-Fi RemoteID Omni-directional receiver station with multi-constellation GNSS
sensor to provide best accuracy. LTE connectivity which simple setup of the MQTT broker allows usage in all LTE/4G
rich environments without the need for any additional cabling to send data. It has been designed to allow quick and
easy assemble enclosed in IP67 case for high weather condition resistance. Device comes with all necessary cables
and antennas for straight forward installation.
Data can be used with your server (user gets full data access). There is no obligation to send data to foreign servers,
user always retains data.
Air traffic data is also available via API and can be integrated with third-party software and applications, for example
using the MQTT protocol.
It is a perfect solution for permanent installation in open areas for constant airspace monitoring and conducting
VLOS/BVLOS operation where safety is critical.
Applications
• Airports and critical infrastructure
• Nationwide traffic management systems (manned and unmanned)
• Perfect solution for local airfields
• U-Space and UTM systems
• Network based Remote Identification (central monitoring)

2. Place the arm on the OGS case (without installed antennas).
NOTE: Please observe correct direction. Front of the arm and front of the case have to face the same
direction.
Rotate OGS as shown on the picture below.
3. Mount black distance bracket with the protective earth conductor on the case.

NOTE: It is important that the cable is connected to the appropriate hole, which is marked on the case
with following electrical marking.
For installation, use the screws included in the kit.
4. After installing the arm, attach the antennas. Loosen the screws on both sides of the arm and tighten them
after inserting antennas. It is recommended to install antennas one by one to avoid damaging them.

4.3 Inserting a SIM/chip card
Ground stations based on the HOD V2 need a valid SIM card. Recommended way to change/insert SIM card is
described below.
1. Disconnect module.
Ensure that you have HOD disconnected and take off module cover. To unmount cover you will need a cross
screwdriver.
2. Find SIM card slot and insert SIM card.
It is not recommended to unmount the HOD V2 because of very sensitive connections. The slot is visible after turning
the housing.
Insert SIM card into slot visible on the picture above. A simple way to do it is to grab SIM with tweezers and push it
carefully directly into slot. Then attach the device back (if unmounted) and mount the cover.
