How to select right datalinks
for UAV system?

Key factors of datalinks for UAV



Wireless mesh datalink Keywords:

  • 1、Centerless

  • 2、Self-organized

  • 3、Self-healing



What is the difference between a point-to-point datalink and mesh datalink?

Point to Point network:


Good

1, Easy configuration(only 2 nodes are allowed

2, Latency relatively lower

3, Less power consumption

4, Relatively lower cost


Poor:

1, Line of sight only

2, Swarming: not support

3, Range extension: repeater needed

4, Single drone operation only

What a mesh network can do?





   Compare with point-to-point datalink, ourmesh datalink modules are equally good , even better in RX sensitivity and datathroughput.


     In addition,   with a mesh networking algorithm ,   we can provide extra benefits againstpoint-to-point datalink. multiple drones, vehicles, persons, and other nodescan all be part of the same network. All nodes can exchange information throughthis network, enabling tasks that a traditional PTP (point-to-point) network

cannot accomplish.

Range :Extends operational range by using mesh nodes as repeaters

None-line of sight capability:

Data can hop through intermediate nodes, enabling operation in challenging terrains.

Scalability: With the integration of mesh nodes, we can easily integrates additional drones or devices into the network,  build up a man-unmanned network

Distance

Higher sensitivity makes longer distance:

With the ultilazation of Cofdm wavefrom and ideal hardware design, RX sensitivity of our datalink achieves -103dBm @ RF bandwidth=5MHz. We estimate the communication distance vs TX power as below


TX power
Distance(LOS)
500mw*2 channels
15km
1w*2 channels
30km
2w*2 channels
50km
20w**2 channels
200km

Data range:


Generally data rate of mesh datalinks vary base on the real time signal-noise-ratio, fix-data-rate mode is supported

Datarate vs SNR vs RF bandwidth


 Remark:Above data rate is a theoretical calculation, the actual results vary according to the real condition.



Latency


Low latency= right datalink + good camera + good codec
