AeroTel-2.4
AeroTel-24 is a high-performance telemetry module designed to bridge the gap between standard consumer WiFi and professional long-range datalinks. Designed for mission-critical UAV operations, it provides a robust, low-latency link for MAVLink telemetry and control.
Powered by Proven Technology
The AeroTel-24 firmware utilizes the industry-proven DroneBridge communication core, heavily optimized and tuned specifically for the AeroTel hardware architecture.
By building on this foundation, we ensure that AeroTel-24 users benefit from:
Reliability: The stability of a widely-tested, open-source protocol stack.
Performance: The extreme range and signal clarity of our custom-engineered RF hardware.
Transparency: Security and encryption standards that are verifiable and compliant with open community standards.
We have taken a powerful engine and built a high-performance vehicle around it, giving you the best of both worlds: open-standard compatibility with proprietary-grade hardware range.
Key Capabilities
Extended Range: optimized for long-range communication well beyond standard WiFi limits.
Bi-Directional: Full duplex MAVLink telemetry support.
Secure: AES-256 encryption ensures your data stream remains private.
