I am planning on building a permanently-connected IP-controlled drone that can be managed from a cloud-based installation of a GCS. 

Anyone connected a drone to a dronecell or other GSM/GPRS device?

[Note: Not doing Wifi, 900Mhz or 2.4Ghz, because I want to use existing urban infrastructure and have "infinite" telemetry range within cellular coverage.]

  • We're getting ready to implement an IP based control system that will replace standard RF receivers or pair with them as a failover once you get out of RF range.  

    Here's a video of my early bench testing.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhKc2bhLnNQ

    We will have to VPN to get around dynamic IP addresses, NAT mappings etc...

    This will also work with WISP radio devices or satellite radio but, with a lot of latency on the satellite links...

    Andreas,

    Tom Pittenger flew a UDB based drone over the internet, using a UDB3. The UDB4 is even better suited for that, with TCP/IP handlers available from microchip.

    Best regards,

    Bill Premerlani
