"What is the easiest way to give this board corrections from a virtual RTK station? Here in Spain they are widely available and everyone is using those, no one uses real base and rover :)
I would love to implement this in surveying drones
Congrats on…"

"I think this is the right way to go. At some point we need to have drones that are as reliable as helicopters or jets. It should also be much easier since electric drivetrains have far fewer moving parts.
At some point the future, we shouldn't worry…"

"Is there a chance that we can connect the camera stream to the Pixhawk 2 Compoanion computer without extra hardware? I would like to make this as easy to connect as possible.

If this is not possible, what is the easiest way to connect the stream to…"

"Thanks a lot, looks good!
How did you get the Sequoia? Have you done some real world tests already?"

"Good point Ben!"

"Hello Jesus
We have chosen this module because it is currently the best fit for the goal of this project.
You are right about the latency. However, we think latency is not critical, since the telemetry link is usually not used to control the…"

"Hello naish. The price comparison with the satellite SDB modem is not fair. You are comparing the price of a stand alone modem with the price of a telemetry service that includes modem, server, client and support.
If you were to buy the modem you…"

"Robert, please keep in mind that the price of the board is almost irrelevant for the overall cost of the project. There is a huge programming effort to making sure the communications work out-of-the-box (or as simple as possible) and are secure.
We…"

"Hello Alexandru thanks for your comment. There are always new boards and hardware just around the corner. Right now we are using what we think is the best module available for this application. Bitrate is not the most important concern since…"

"Chris, the other application was not related to drones. It was about activating the blinds and locks at an office via sms. We had the idea of implementing commands like RTL via SMS but thought it was adding too much to the first release. If you have…"

"Hello Chris, I sent you a tweet before. Yes, it can send and receive SMS and also make phone calls. We actually built another application using SMS on the same module."

"Martin thanks for your advice. We haven't had any problems yet and we have tested Airstring for hours and in different environments. The delay is indeed high but the connection is stable both in Mission Planner and Tower :)"

"Paul, Great! I'd like to credit Andre K. from DIYDrones for pointing out this issue."

"Andrew we currently don't support 4G, only GPRS.
Your approach is the best solution we could find, that is why we started developing Airstring, first for ourselves, then as a product.
Like you said, setting up a VPN is not ideal, but routing traffic…"

"Andrew, like you said, we are targeting the professional market, although we have also gotten interest from hobby users. I am glad you find it useful!
We use a quadband modem (850/900/1800/1900Mhz bands), so it is compatible with all carriers and…"
