UAV Long-Range Wireless Video & Telemetry Transceiver with Flight Control Uplink – TX900 Series
Overview
The TX900 Series UAV Long-Range Wireless Video & Telemetry Transceiver is an integrated wireless communication system designed for drones, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and other mobile platforms requiring reliable long-distance video, data, and flight control communication.
Supporting bidirectional wireless transmission, the system sends live video and telemetry data from the UAV to the ground control station while transmitting flight control commands from the ground station back to the aircraft.
With configurable RF output power, frequency hopping technology, AES-128 encryption, and multiple data interfaces, the TX900 Series provides a flexible solution for demanding wireless communication applications. Depending on the configuration and operating conditions, transmission distances can reach up to 150 km.
The system supports Ethernet-based IP cameras and network devices. HDMI and SDI cameras can be integrated using a compatible video encoder.
