FAQ

Q1: Can the Vcan1806 support ground-to-ground communication in dense urban areas?
A1: Ground-level long-range transmission in high-density areas is challenging due to signal blockage. We recommend using a repeater or elevated relay station to achieve up to 5 km range.

---

Q2: How does the dual-frequency system enhance stability?
A2: The transceiver uses both 1.4 GHz and 600 MHz bands simultaneously. If interference occurs on one frequency, the other maintains the connection. Combined with FHSS, it automatically hops to the cleanest frequency for continuous transmission.

---

Q3: What is the maximum throughput for dual-band operation?
A3: The system supports up to 100 Mbps bidirectional throughput, suitable for HD video, telemetry, and RC control simultaneously.

---

Q4: How can I access and configure the device?
A4: The web UI management interface is accessible through any Ethernet port. Default login credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin

---

Q5: Can it be integrated with third-party IP cameras?
A5: Yes. It supports all standard IP Ethernet cameras. For HDMI/SDI/AV sources, an additional H.265 encoder module is required.

---

Q6: What are the advantages of FHSS compared to fixed-frequency radios?
A6: FHSS dynamically hops across multiple frequencies, reducing interference and interception risks, ensuring stable and secure links for professional UAV and tactical use.

---

Q7: Is it suitable for drone swarm communication?
A7: Absolutely. In Mesh mode, up to 32 drones or nodes can form an intelligent network where each node acts as both a transmitter and a relay, ideal for swarm coordination and telemetry sharing.

---

Q8: Can you provide waterproof or ruggedized versions?
A8: Yes, IP67-rated enclosures are available for field operations requiring dustproof, waterproof, or fogproof protection.

Q9: Is the transmission digital or analog?
A9: The transmission is digital. Our system uses digital COFDM modulation to ensure stable and high-quality image transmission.

Q10: When sending a video signal, if a packet is lost during transit, does the receiver notice and ask the transmitter to resend the lost packet?
A10: No. Our system uses transparent transmission — the transmitter sends data as it is generated and stops when there is no data. If the network is interrupted or the signal is weak, some data may be lost. The lost packets are not stored or resent, because retransmitting outdated data is meaningless for real-time video transmission.
