A drone company with a specific communications requirement and no off-the-shelf answer.
Modern drone operations particularly in defence, surveillance, agriculture, and industrial inspection demand communication systems that go well beyond basic radio control. A serious drone deployment needs reliable bidirectional communication across multiple data streams simultaneously: radio control for flight, telemetry for system health and position data, video downlink from the camera payload, and payload-specific data protocols for specialised equipment.
The client needed a ground-side communication box capable of handling all of these streams simultaneously at ranges up to 15km. No standard off-the-shelf product met the full requirement. The combination of protocols, range, and integration into their specific drone platform meant this had to be designed from the ground up.
They came to us with the requirement and we delivered the product from hardware architecture through to tested, mass-produced units.
