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.

If anyone wants to fly LTE, then check out my latest build, UAVcast-Pro
You are ready in 15min, no linux skills required.

For the Internet of Drones, for which the communication is based on the mobile network, please check this group https://diydrones.com/group/droneroute-the-internet-of-drones-platform
Shortly, the DroneRoute platform, owns features as telemetry, remote control, realtime visualization of the drones on the map, obstacles positions sharing, alerts for potential colisions, change the routes on the fly, rtk messages for centimeter level positioning, and others.
The DroneRoute platform can be viewed also as a segment of the IoT network, which targets low power consumption and extended range. For this dedixated standards are being used LTE Cat M1/NB1
Had a very long off-time, but now i´ll be back. Maybe u interested in what we did till 2016 about FPV and R/C via Cellular. Hope my RePost is ok....

Right now we´ll preparing for upcoming spring. Hope we´ll hit some benchmarks ;)
is this still updated? would want to know more especially how to run off multiwii
4Gmetry 4 is coming, stay tuned on http://www.voltarobots.com
One of the time consuming tasks when integrating a Raspberry Pi or other SBC into a drone is making the power cable. Kashmir World Foundation has some great micro USB to DuPont power cables. You can get one by e-mail: info@kashmirworldfoundation.org
You would need a different telemetry cable - like this one:

NEW 2016 - 4Gmetry III - turnkey 4G telemetry over 4G, just plug&play.

Are you sure FAA has ever approved 2G/3G/4G telemetry in case of recreational drones ?
Parcel delivery is easy job.
2G/3G/4G telemetry is not reliable at all in case of drones.
Direct radio link between control station/pilot and the drone is the Basic Rule.
2/3/4G telemetry can come as add-on only, since in case
2/3/4G signal is lost, telemetry is lost and drone operator is starting to violate standards set by FAA.
I have developed 3G modem to 3G modem- peer2peer
direct communication technology (dynamic IP assigned on both sides) without the need to run dynamic DNS server.
And this technology has now patent pending status.
