Overview
The UAV long-range transmitter and receiver is a professional-grade wireless communication system engineered for unmanned aerial vehicles, ground vehicles, and tactical applications requiring stable and secure data transmission over extended distances. Designed for mission-critical environments, this high-performance system integrates a 10-watt RF power amplifier, full-duplex TDD OFDM technology, and dual-antenna operation, delivering simultaneous video, telemetry, and control data links for UAVs up to 150 km line-of-sight.
Equipped with AES128 encryption, frequency hopping (FHSS), and robust error correction, the UAV long-range transmitter and receiver ensures secure and uninterrupted communication even in environments with high electromagnetic interference. Its compact design, lightweight structure, and ruggedized metal housing make it ideal for airborne deployment, ground stations, and tactical handheld operations.
The device features multiple interfaces including Ethernet, RS232, and audio I/O, allowing seamless integration with IP cameras, flight controllers, and telemetry systems. Web-based configuration or UART control enables quick setup and real-time monitoring of transmission parameters. With adjustable bandwidth and multiple frequency bands (800 MHz, 1.4 GHz, 2.4 GHz optional), the system balances throughput and link stability for diverse UAV missions.
All data and power/network connections, except for the two RF ports, are equipped with T30 locking connectors.
Key Features
1. Ultra-Long-Range Transmission
The UAV long-range transmitter and receiver supports distances up to 150 km in line-of-sight (LOS) airborne operations, and shorter ranges for ground-to-ground (G2G) communications. Multiple power settings (2W, 5W, 10W) allow mission-specific optimization.
2. Full-Duplex Video, Telemetry, and Control
This system provides simultaneous bidirectional communication:
-
Real-time HD video downlink from UAV to ground station
-
Telemetry and sensor data streaming
-
Uplink of flight-control commands
-
Low-latency transmission (28–76 ms)
3. Secure and Reliable Data
AES128 encryption ensures all video and telemetry data remain protected. Frequency-hopping (FHSS) enhances anti-jamming capabilities and prevents unauthorized interception.
4. Dual-Antenna Operation
-
ANT1: Transmit/Receive
-
ANT2: Receive-only
Dual-antenna design improves sensitivity, increases signal stability, and enhances reception in weak signal conditions.

-
2× Ethernet ports (RJ45 and ZH1.5mm)
-
3× RS232 UART channels
-
Audio in/out ports
-
Power input XT30PW-M connector
8. High-Speed Mobility
Supports UAV movement up to 120 km/h without signal loss, making it suitable for fixed-wing aircraft, VTOL platforms, and fast-response drones.
