Telemetry for APM

Posted by Javier Robaina on December 27, 2011 at 5:30am

Hello, I am looking for a telemetry system for use in Europe. Looking for some system Iallow communication to a maximum distance of 25km. Do not know what will the best frequency but I can use any frequencies for digital modes in region 1 of the IARU.

I have doubts respect to the modules xbee 2.4GHz if there is a module more than 50mW or if possible use an amplifier for 2.4GHz used for wifi normally.

    Check these out:  http://freewave.com/products/allproducts/gxm.aspx

    Or these:  http://freewave.com/products/allproducts/i2.aspx

    I have used both, These are Industrial radios.... If you want something that will work reliably...

    I've been looking at several other telemetry solutions autopilot market, fairly inexpensive andpower around 500mW. In the 433MHz and 2.4GHz bands.

    The modules are the AF-602 to 433MHz and 500mW and AF-606 for 2.4GHz and 500mW.

    Be possible to use any of these modules to ArduPilot Mega?

    I found these modules. APC802. 500MW of power. in the range of 70cm. but not if it is.possible to use APM. do not look bad. and are quite cheap.

    http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9411 check this unit if it suitable to you. I used this one with my UAV in Canada and achieved more than 50 miles.

    I'm also interested to know if there is a xbee module with a higher power output.
