UAV communications include two possible scenarios, the first one, line of sight communications, based on RF links between the vehicle and the base station, and the second one for satellite links and remote operations beyond line of sight.

Line of Sight (LOS)

• Video and payload data downlinks
• Telemetry and Telecontrol
• Data rates configurable up to hundreds of MHz
• Interfaces on demand: TCP/IP, Serial, USB
• Range from few meters to hundreds of Km.
• Optimized power consumption, size and weight
• Radio robustness guaranteed using Spread Spectrum Techniques and encryption

Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS)

• Satellite Communications solutions
• COTS based solution adapted for each UAV
• Satellite Services provided by ERZIA at very competitive rates from world main operators: Iridium, Inmarsat, Globalstar, Thuraya.
• Aeronautic VSATS for High Altitude Long Endurance UAVs

Flexibility plays a key role in this kind of projects where each equipment / module has to be tailored into its UAV role providing a cost efficient and reliable solution adequate for each customer needs.
