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.

    Anyone have any thoughts on using this (http://www.netcommwireless.com/product/m2m/ntc-4000) for 3g telemetry?

    All the info is here. Follow the wires.

    Looking nice Tony :) Welcome to the "Mobile Telemetry Club" :-)

    Hi

    For those of you that hasn't seen my solution, take a look here

    Hi

    This video is showing my configuration.

    Using 2.9.1 software.

    I would think, this is where a Raspberry would really prove its worth.

    Copter Richie : 

    I will post a video later today showing my configuration and its performance.

     

    Jerry:

    Half a year ago,  was using Facetime over 3g with my jailbroken iphone. It works perfect. The ide has past my mind also. It will work for sure.

    The only problem is how good connection i will get with two cell network antennas so close togheter.

    I really think the best thing ( If it works), is merge the video stream togheter with telemetry data.

    Have you ever played with FaceTime? I tried it the other night with my wifes iphone and mine. There was no delay! It comes standard now on all iPhones. It does require a wifi, but there are apps to undo that if you jailbreak. Im thinking when tmobile rolls out 4g lte in my area, ill just strap a used jailbroke 4s on my 8x and FaceTime it. Will work until somebody makes an app just for this. Would be really neat to import minimosd code for osd overlay!

    @MrLudvig, may I inquire more about the system you are using? Just a general overview would be fine. Thank you.

need help understanding if we can rin it on a 2560 multiwii?

hi guys might have a project that require telemetry especially tracking and logging . how do I get about setting up an multiwii 2560 drone to communicate to GSM module and what would be on the server side if it uses 3G 4G systems im looking for people to collabthe idea is to run it off a web browser and serversuggested links pertaining to hardwares and codes on both aircraft side and server side would be helpfulthanks

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…
