AirOptix Dual-Band Data Radio

The AirOptix Dual-Band Data Radio is an ultra-compact, high-performance wireless communication module engineered for next-generation Unmanned platforms. Designed to operate in both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands, this radio offers resilient, encrypted broadband connectivity to enable real-time transmission of HD video, telemetry, and command and control (C2) data over long distances. With robust OFDM modulation, dynamic bandwidth adaptation, and advanced encryption (AES-256), the AirOptix radio ensures reliable, interference-resistant links even in congested RF environments. Its rugged design, extended temperature range, and flexible interface options make it a plug-and-play solution for aerial, ground, and maritime unmanned systems used in defense, enterprise, and industrial applications.

Key Highlights

  • Dual-Band Operation (2.4GHz / 5.8GHz): Enables adaptive channel selection to optimize connectivity based on real-time spectrum conditions.
  • Broadband Throughput (Up to 40 Mbps): Facilitates transmission of high-bandwidth payload data, including HD video, LIDAR, or EO/IR streams.
  • Secure and Resilient Links: Employs AES-256 encryption, frequency hopping (TDD Duplex), and OFDM modulation for robust anti-jamming performance.
  • Ultra-Compact Form Factor: Weighing just 20g, it’s ideal for small UAVs and payload-constrained platforms.
  • Multi-Interface Flexibility: Supports Ethernet, TTL, USB, and S.BUS, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of autopilots, gimbals, and onboard processors.
  • Edge-Ready Architecture: Can serve as a foundation for future mesh networking and edge computing integrations.
