What is the achievable range with SmartLink?

It is possible to achieve an unlimited flight range with SmartLink. This depends on a variety of independent variables such as the antennas, instillation, environmental conditions, etc. but for example:

• When using CE regulations which are 20dBm/100mW, the range would be between 4km and 6km

• When using FCC which assumes 20dBm, you can reach up to 20km in range

How do I achieve an unlimited flight range?

For a range beyond 20km, we recommend using LTE connectivity as this has an unlimited range providing the drone remains in the LTE coverage area. If there is no 4G coverage you can use higher range antennas which will aid in extending the range for up to several dozen kilometres. These can be purchased from our online store.

This is completely dependant on your requirements, but as a base point we can easily manufacture SmartLink units in the hundreds per month. Is it possible for us to manufacture the units in the thousands per month with prior notification from our clients. Get in touch to find out more.
