Air: Long-range fixed-wing UAS

# Long Range, Low SWaP

Fixed wing is a different link problem than a quad or FPV. OEM and Boost carry command and control, telemetry, video, and sensor data over long distances without adding too much size, weight, or power.

#### Long-range, high-throughput

Video, telemetry, & C2 on low SWaP radios like OEM, without taking too much away from payload or flight time.

#### Strengthen both sides of the link

When the mission needs more range, Boost strengthens the transmit & receive sides of the link, holding up in difficult RF environments.

#### Extends to other platforms

Mesh & relay capabilities let the aircraft extend the network to other platforms, connecting with systems across air, ground, & sea.

## Plan Your Long-Range Link

Tell us about your airframe, payload and mission. We'll help you see where OEM, Mini and Boost fit to carry your data over long distances without too much SWaP.

 

**What we'll cover:**

- OEM or Mini: low SWaP radios that leave room for payload and flight time
- Boost: strengthening both sides of the link when the mission needs more range
- Mesh and relay to extend the network to other air, ground and sea platforms
- Multi-band options, encryption and EW-resilience features for contested RF

Who this is for

## Built for Fixed-Wing Teams

For teams whose aircraft fly farther and still operate through interference and changing RF, from ISR to relay missions.

- Fixed-wing drone OEMs
- Prime contractors and system integrators
- Longer-range ISR programs
- Program and project leads

Range, power and SWaP

## Connectivity that Holds Up at Range

The farther a fixed-wing aircraft flies, the harder it becomes to maintain a reliable connection through interference and changing RF.

OEM keeps SWaP low. Boost strengthens the transmit and receive sides of the link, extending range. Mesh and relay extend the network.

### Frequently asked questions

Do I need a new radio for more range?

Not necessarily. Boost was built to pair with existing Mesh Rider radios, strengthening the transmit and receive sides of the link to extend range in difficult RF environments

Which radio fits a fixed-wing airframe?

OEM is a low SWaP radio that integrates without taking too much from payload or flight time. Mini, our most popular radio, packs full Mesh Rider throughput, range and mesh into a 34-gram radio.

What does the link do in contested RF?

Multi-band options give operators more flexibility, with encryption, low-latency communications and EW resilience. Sense EW on the radio detects interference and adapts as RF conditions change.
