200km Long Range MANET Drone MIMO IP Mesh Radio Link
Overview
The 200km Long Range MANET Drone MIMO IP Mesh Radio Link is a high-performance wireless communication system designed for UAVs, drones, mobile robots, and demanding mobile networking applications. Combining TD-COFDM technology, MIMO transmission, and IP-based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET), it supports long-range wireless video, telemetry, control data, and IP network connectivity.
Designed for flexible deployment, the system supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multi-node mesh networking. Its self-organizing network architecture enables wireless nodes to communicate and relay data without depending on a fixed central base station.
With configurable frequency bands, channel bandwidths, RF output power, encryption options, and interfaces, this radio link can be tailored to specific UAV communication and industrial wireless networking requirements.
