SENSIS RELEASES NEW MULTILATERATION AND ADS-B GROUND STATIONDEWITT, NY - October 4, 1999 - Sensis Corporation has released a new multilateration and ADS-B ground station as
part of its Multistatic Dependent Surveillance (MDS) system. The low cost "Receiver Only" (RO) ground station receives,
timestamps and decodes transponder signals and Automatic
Dependent Surveillance -Broadcast (ADS-B) messages in a single compact unit. The new RO ground station can function
alone as a low-cost ADS-B ground station or together with the existing "Receiver/Transmitter" (RT) ground station to
provide transponder multilateration surveillance. Together the two ground stations enable significant improvements in
both surface and air surveillance performance without requiring the installation of new avionics. The new RO ground
station will be deployed this fall as part of a European Community Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control
System (A-SMGCS) project as well as with all future MDS installations.
