AIR Module

SmartLink Air is based on powerful quad-core ARM Cortex A53 SoC (system-on-chip) computer running Linux. 

The system is capable of handling two real time HD video streams from cameras, autopilot telemetry and control. 

It also has plenty of resources for user applications. Various interfaces e.g. USB, UART, I2C, SPI allow to connect payload and tightly integrate it with flight controller and / or ground control station

GROUND Module

Ground module is very compact and lightweight, it has micro USB connector to interact with any kind of device - laptops, smartphones, tablets, desktop computers supported. All you need to do is connect it and open SmartAP GCS App.

Ground module features active cooling system which allows the module to withstand high ambient temperatures making it reliable even in harsh environments.

2x2 MIMO technology provides higher bandwidth, lower latency and longer range.

SOFTWARE

SmartLink was specifically designed to be used with SmartAP GCS - powerful cross-platform ground control station. SmartAP GCS supports:

  • 2x HD video streams display
  • Full camera controls
  • Video recording on microSD card
  • Image capture on microSD card
  • Radio settings configuration
  • Drone control joystick
  • Payload control joystick

SmartAP GCS can be used on any platform and operating system including MacOS, Windows, iOS, Android and Linux.

  • Of course, this is actually the one of the reasons why we manufacture in the UK. I believe there should be quite large demand for this system in the US and it's vital to follow NATO guidelines for such technology.

    Great. Assuming that US government won't accept any Russian technology, can this be legitimately presented as UK (or other NATO) tech in both SW and HW? Hope so, since it looks awesome

  • Standard encryption is 128 bit AES but 256 bit option is available too.

    We manufacture the systems in the UK.

    Is the encryption 128 or 256 bit? 

    Any possibility of a version not made in Russia or China? Unfortunately, the US government is going to reject either of those :-(
