Overview
SkyLink is an aviation-protected C-Band (5030-5091 MHz) bi-directional, Multiple Input & Single Output (MISO) dual Control and Non-Payload Communications (CNPC) radio system. Compliant with the RTCA DO-362A standard, SkyLink provides the information exchange required for operators to safely control, monitor, and manage a UAS. Accelerate your BVLOS approvals by leveraging SkyLink's aviation-grade CNPC radios.
Features
■ Airborne radio with a dipole antenna complies
with Category AXS of DO-362A.
■ Ground radio with 16 dBi antenna gain complies
with Category GXLS of DO-362A.
■ Airborne (ARS) and Ground (GRS) Radio
