Elsight’s Connectivity Platforms for BVLOS UAV and UGV connection confidence
Elsight supports the growth of the UAV and UGV industries with our palm-sized, multilink connectivity platform for aggregated and bonded cellular (5G & LTE), SatCom and SDR communications for BVLOS flights, NLOS missions and other applications where uninterrupted connectivity is essential. Elsight has logged more than 250,000 flight hours among its more than 100 customers in the commercial and defense sectors around the world.
Elsight’s offers several flavors of multi-link aggregated connectivity for a bonded communications pipe enabling uninterrupted NLOS (non line-of-sight) missions. It is optimal for unmanned aerial and ground systems (UAVs, UGVs, robotics) weighing 93 grams and fits in the palm of a hand for portability. It integrates with most architectures and has been integrated with Lockheed Martin’s Indago4 Quadcopter. It is battlefield proven, jam resistant and offers extremely high redundancy. It uses very low power and resistant to harsh weather and terrain conditions. When integrated in a UAV, it enables very precise data collection over mountainous and difficult areas.
Elsight’s Halo connectivity platform provides secure, reliable, and continuous communications to ensure uninterrupted operations of unmanned missions in Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) conditions. By aggregating all available cellular, SatCom, and proprietary RF communications links into a securely bonded pipe, the Halo ensures high bandwidth, low latency data transmission for unmanned missions beyond the visual line of sight.
Homeland Security, Military and Defense Applications
The lightweight, small footprint and low power platform is highly portable and quick to set up under battle conditions. Field troops can rapidly deploy a drone or other unmanned systems to benefit from extended situational awareness, visibility and safer missions in difficult terrain. Additionally, one operator in a remote command center can control fleets of drones or other systems from the other side of the globe.
Law Enforcement, Drone First Responder & Public Safety Applications
UAVs and UGSs, such as drones and robots, have emerged as indispensable assets for law enforcement agencies worldwide, extending operational capabilities, lowering risk to personnel, and expediting efficient responses. However, an effective non-line-of sight UAV/drone operation relies on secure, uninterrupted communications for continuous data flow
between drones and the command center. Halo’s lightweight and small footprint module is quick to set up during emergencies or in areas without infrastructure.
Fire Fighters
From navigating through dense smoke during wildfires to assessing inaccessible or dangerous areas after an earthquake, drones’ real-time visual information supports rescue, fire management, and recovery efforts. Halo-powered drones equip first responders such as firefighters with BVLOS connectivity, providing risk-free, live information vital for life-saving decision-making and emergency response.
Search & Rescue Operations
Drones for first responders are invaluable for quickly traversing vast and challenging terrains, reducing response times, and increasing the chances of successful rescues. Halo-equipped drones enable safe, long-distance visual surveillance in BVLOS conditions, navigating through challenging areas to gather necessary visual evidence and speed up rescue operations for law enforcement and first responders.
Instant surveillance towers with tethered drones
Quickly deployable tethered drones are a game-changer for border patrols and police forces, offering far-reaching surveillance in various applications at a moment’s notice. Halo-powered portable drones ensure fast setup and instant visibility in multiple scenarios for immediate operational engagement.
