Develop standard, re-usable inexpensive solutions for IP-enabled always-on UAVs over cellular IP networks such as GPRS, 3G, 4G etc.

Primary goal: Telemetry over low cost cellular [achieved in testing]

Secondary goal: Bi-directional GCS/Telemetry over cellular IP [achieved in testing]

Tertiary goal: High speed IP for streaming IP video over cellular 3G/4G

STATUS: Bi-directional telemetry over cellular IP (UDP or TCP) is now working. It has been flown successfully while logging live telemetry to a GCS at home, several miles away [distance is really unlimited]. Currently working on improving code, more testing and broader hardware support.

    What carrier are you with
  • ockhams barber February 2, 2013 at 5:56pm

    Thanks Toby,

    Time to change to Telstra I guess.

    Cheers

    Hi Greg

    Call up Telstra and ask for the Telsta.extranet APN to be put on your sim. You will need to use this apn in your settings. the code GPTEXB3 may help but you may need to ask to speak to someone's supervisor before you find someone who knows what you are asking for.

    Good luck.

    Hi from Australia,

    I am looking at using 3g for a very simple project (ardurover). Unfortunately I have been unable to get any information about non-fire-walled services from any telcos in Australia.  Has any member got any got any information on this? Toby I believe you are from NZ and have been speaking to Amplified Engineering, Did they give you anything about Aust? I have tried to contact them by email but have had no response.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yours in desperation,

    Greg.

Telemetry via LTE, Controlling your infrastructure.

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this forum, but far from brand new to the sUAS industry.  I've been a engineer and developer in this arena since about 2012.  I wanted to hop into this discussion to get some insight and exposure for some of the stuff I've been working on.  I'm the Chief Innovations Officer at Fenix Group Solutions out here in D.C.  I wanted to expose you guys (hopefully reaching the developer community) to VCore.  VCore is a fully virtualized 4G LTE core network in the form factor of…

WiFi Drone Disabler - Security Matters

Hey guys,I came across an article about making a Drone WiFi disabler on Make that I thought was cool. Then I realized that this could be a future problem for some people. In short, make sure that you are setting up encryption especially if running SoftAp.This hack basically makes use of the fact that some manufacturers don't set the encryption by default when first launched out of the box. This is just a heads up to everyone so you aren't a future…
