Hi,
Anybody knows WiFi modules similar to very popular esp-07 or XBee WiFi, but for 5GHz?
I mean modules compatible with Pixhawk, ie with UART port and necessary software support.

We have published BOM, schematics and all necessary for PCB here - https://github.com/ugcs/ddc/tree/master/WiFi/adapter
APMN-Q551 doesn't know about MAVLink. It's just WiFi adapter ))
this program use mavlink v1.0 or v2.0?
My esp8266 looks like using only mavlink v1.0.
Please see these videos:

Half of these drones use esp-07 WiFi modules, another equipped by APMN-Q551.
APMN-Q551 works much more reliable, especially in case if there are another WiFi devices around. For example, we can't use Phantom/Inspire to film our swarm flights because they jam 2.4Ghz network.
In few days we will publish documentation here - https://github.com/ugcs/ddc
wow, it is awesome.
What is carrier board?
And, did you success to connect wifi via APMN-Q551?

yes, but quite expensive

And this module requires carrier board.
Total bill of material is around 100€ per adapter.
Do you find any answer about it?
I also find WiFi modules can use 5GHz. But as you know esp use only 2.4GHz.
