RF Communication For UAV, UGV & Maritime Systems
Connect inspection video, telemetry and commands across air, land and water. Start with the operating task and the equipment at each end, then review the radio and ground-control configuration for that system.
Connect inspection video, telemetry and commands across air, land and water.
Discuss Your Requirements
UAV Inspection & Aerial Operations
An inspection aircraft needs to return payload video and telemetry while the operator sends commands from the ground. Specify the camera output, flight-controller interfaces, airborne power and ground software when reviewing a video/data link or Mesh module.
- Payload Video → Ground Display
- Flight Telemetry → Operator Software
- Ground Commands → Aircraft
Ground Robots & Remote Inspection
A robot may travel behind buildings or along routes that change its radio visibility. Describe the obstructions, camera feeds, controller interface and operator station. Review the node arrangement and complete command path against the route the robot will actually use.
- Route & Obstructions
- Robot Camera & Controller Interfaces
- Ground Station & Network Arrangement
Vessel-To-Shore Communication
For an unmanned vessel, plan the link between moving onboard equipment and the shore station. Include vessel motion, antenna mounting height, the operating route and the sensor or camera data needed ashore. Evaluate the receiving equipment alongside the onboard radio.
- Vessel & Shore Antenna Positions
- Video, Sensor Data & Commands
- Motion, Route & Available Power
Communication For Mobile Field Teams
Field teams may need handheld, backpack or vehicle nodes to connect operator devices. Define who needs to exchange data, what each node carries and where the team moves. Match the equipment format, power arrangement and network configuration to that task.
- Handheld, Backpack Or Vehicle Nodes
- Data Shared Between Team Members
- Carrying Arrangement & Power
Connect The Complete Signal Path
Identify the connections on both ends before choosing a radio. An IP data path, a camera video input and a control protocol are separate integration requirements.
Payload & Controller
Camera output, telemetry and control interfaces.
Platform Radio
The selected radio and its physical connections.
Ground Equipment
Receiving radio, operator software and control station.
Choose By The Data You Need To Carry
| Requirement | Describe It In Your Enquiry |
|---|---|
| Video | Camera output, encoder arrangement, stream format and receiving software. |
| Telemetry | Controller or sensor interface and the data protocol used. |
| Control | Command interfaces, required channels and operator equipment. |
| Networking | Number of nodes, the proposed topology and data between nodes. |
Describe The Conditions Behind The Distance
Where evaluation is needed, agree a test setup that represents those conditions.
Include These Conditions
- Operating Route
- Antenna Positions
- Node Heights
- Expected Obstructions
- Required Data Rate
Application Planning Questions
Review compatibility, interfaces and operating conditions before you settle on a configuration.
Are these customer installation case studies?
This page describes application directions and equipment-selection considerations. The scene images are illustrative and are not records of delivered customer installations.
Can one radio family be assumed compatible with another?
No. Share the exact models and software versions so the waveform, settings and network configuration can be checked.
Is a video encoder always included?
A data link and a video encoder are different components. Specify your camera output and existing encoder when reviewing the equipment.
What information helps evaluate a maritime link?
Provide the vessel and shore arrangement, antenna installation, route and data requirements. The equipment configuration can then be reviewed against those conditions.
Can I select the radio using distance alone?
Also consider antennas, operating height, data rate, interference and the installation. Ask for the relevant model and test configuration.
Can I discuss ground-control equipment with the radio?
Yes. Include the controller, ground software, video output and the operator functions you need.
