Communications

Industrial UAVs flying with obstructions, at long range and in 5G blind spots. Five physical links are scheduled by the onboard multi-link communication hub, keeping the video link continuous and flight-control telemetry uninterrupted.

Physical links

< 180ms

End-to-end video link latency

< 50ms

End-to-end telemetry latency

210g

Onboard hardware, 10 × 7 × 1.5 cm

Latencies are design targets including encoding and decoding; actual values depend on network conditions. Dual 5G bonded video link: 4K@30fps H.265.

Three-part architecture

Onboard

  • Multi-link communication hub (the only scheduling entry point)
  • QoS link monitoring
  • AI network prediction
  • Multi-source video link · multi-source telemetry · bonding
  • 1.4G mesh network · 5G-A · 5G-B · 433 MHz · satellite

Cloud service cluster

  • IoT management
  • Video link bonding server
  • 5G / satellite relay
  • Data storage and logs

Pilot side

  • Embedded Linux SDK
  • Video playback · best-copy telemetry selection
  • Policy configuration · monitoring UI

Design points

Single decision point
Which link carries video, which two links carry telemetry, whether to bond, whether to cache and whether to use satellite are all decided by the hub; the video link, telemetry and bonding modules only execute and never switch on their own.
QoS
Capacity, latency, jitter, packet loss and signal strength (RSSI / RSRP / SNR) of every link assessed in real time; abnormal events logged with error code, cause and start and end times.
AI network prediction
Network conditions for the next 10 seconds predicted from historical QoS, position, flight route and weather, with switching in advance; falls back immediately when prediction and measurement disagree. The more flight data on the same route, the more accurate the prediction.
Video link scheduling
1.4 GHz direct → single 5G → dual 5G bonding → local cache; adjusted between 4K / 2K / 1080P / 720P according to link capacity.
Telemetry scheduling
Always sent over two paths at once; the pilot side keeps the best copy by sequence number, timestamp and integrity; uses satellite when all ground links are down. Telemetry never enters the video bonding queue.
