IP mesh MANET transceiver with bidirectional audio-IP board for robot / UAV / Drone Wireless Video & Data Link Module
MANET IP Mesh Transceiver | Long-Range Wireless Video, Dati & Trasmissione audio | Lightweight UAV Solution
Installed on the Drone UAV Robot
The UAV wireless video and data link module is designed for long-range transmission of HD video, telemetria, and control signals, making it the core communication bridge between drones and ground stations. With the new Maglia IP MANET feature, the module supports multi-node networking, seamless relay, E ad hoc deployment without requiring fixed infrastructure.
It is small and lightweight—measuring only 73×47×10 mm and weighing 55 grammi—yet powerful enough to support up to 32Mbps data rate, multi-hop networking, E real-time full-duplex IP audio communication.
This makes it ideal for Robot platforms that require bassa latenza, alta affidabilità, and secure communication in complex terrains such as forests, urban canyons, or disaster zones.

Panoramica del prodotto
Il Vcan1401-Mesh UAV Video Data Link is a new-generation OFDM-based IP mesh transceiver engineered for droni, robot, and unmanned systems.
Unlike traditional Wi-Fi bridges or single-point links, the Vcan1401 forms a autoguarigione, mobile ad hoc network (MANET), where every unit can act as both a transmitter and a repeater. Questo distributed mesh architecture eliminates single points of failure and allows communication even when nodes move at high speed or in non-line-of-sight conditions.
The latest upgrade introduces:
-
IP Mesh MANET capability – support for dynamic, multi-hop, punto per punto, and multipoint networking.
-
Two-way IP-based audio dialogue module – enables always-on, full-duplex voice communication, not just push-to-talk (PTT).
-
AES-128/256 encryption – ensures secure data, video, and audio links.
-
Optimized OFDM transmission protocol – for higher spectral efficiency, better diffraction, and strong multipath resistance.
This combination provides video, telemetria, controllare, and audio over one unified wireless link, making it especially suited for mission-critical UAV operations.
