# Hardware procurement and licensing

## Purchasing Hardware from Sky-Drones

We appreciate the different integration levels required by the drone manufacturers. Therefore we offer two slightly different editions of AIRLink - the most advanced drone avionics: **Enterprise** and **Core**. **AIRLink Enterprise** is ideal for a quick start, evaluation and prototyping while **Core** is optimised for deep integration and mid-high volume manufacturing.

SmartAP AIRLink Core edition is intended for medium to high volume production and deep integration with customer's hardware. The weight of electronics is only 80g and can be tightly integrated in the airframe design. However, heat dissipation requirements (provided by Sky-Drones) should be met for proper system operation.

## Hardware licensing

### Licensed Production

Sky-Drones team is glad to help mid to large size manufacturers to set up their local production of the hardware. This option is recommended for the customers who are scaling up and aim to optimise the logistics.

This option is intended for:

* Drone manufacturers;
* Mid to High-volume production;
* Deep integrations.

Customer can:

* Manufacture at their own factory;
* Control the volume;
* Modify schematics and layout to suit the needs.
