Midband Data Link
and GPS System
SKYTRAC’s DLS-100 is an Iridium Certus® midband transceiver enabling real-time command and control, telemetry streaming, and photo transfer from unmanned aviation systems.
The ruggedized and IP67 compliant modem enables 22 Kbps uplink and 88 Kbps downlink speeds. Designed for use with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), the cost-effective Iridium Certus modem allows for pole-to-pole connectivity around the globe with 99.9% reliability and stunningly low latency.
The modem is compatible with commercial and DoD SIM cards and also features remote management functionality through web or software API as needed.
DLS-100 Features
The cutting-edge DLS-100 data link transceiver enables real-time command and control, telemetry streaming, real-time flight data (including payload health monitoring), imagery, data transfer and photo transfer capabilities from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
