Feature

1. Frequency customized. The default is 1.4 GHz. 1350-1470Mhz.
2. This system supports transmitting video from an IP camera, as well as control and missions. But to increase the range, it includes a repeater, which also transmits video from its camera.
3. Every transceiver node has two SBus ports. So, the ground receiver unit supports controlling the repeater airplane and the transmitter airplane — two drones via the remote control.
4. Transmit video from the IP camera to RTSP and control. The point-to-point version is 16.8 Mbps. The point-to-multi-point version is 26.4 Mbps.

Introduction

There is a star networking no-mesh system for transmitting video over long distances relay. The first transceiver node is on a mission airplane, and second transceiver node is installed on the repeater airplane, and the third transceiver node is installed at the ground station. The distance from the mission airplane to the ground station is about 20 – 60 km; the maximum range can expand to 60+60=120km without signal interference. The system supports an IP camera on board the airplane, and RTSP transmission. The ground station connects to a PC and outputs the live video as an RTSP stream from on board the airplane.

With the second transceiver as a repeater to increase the range. conditional another plane will fly closer. Roughly speaking, ground station -> Plane 1 (You also need to see the video from it) -> Plane 2. You can use aerial relay drones to cross obstacles such as mountains, or hide the true location of the ground station to protect the safety of pilots.

This radio communication system consists of three nodes: a ground station, a retransmitter, and an end node, which is the mission plane. The ground unit should be 40-60km from the retransmitter, which in turn should be 50-60km from the end node (mission drone). The minimum data throughput over these distances is 10-16MB per second, and the working frequency band is 1350-1470MHz.
