This secure wireless data transmission technology has demonstrated its reliability wiht over 4,000 operational hours (both aerial and terrestrial) across diverse applications, supporting numerous drones and unmanned systems. It is indeed compliant with FCC and CE standards. Halo has become the preferred choice for various industrial robotics firms, emergency response teams, and governmental and military organizations.
Advanced Communication Technology
Halo utilizes Elsight’s proprietary connectivity technology, ensuring high-bandwidth transmission in near real-time from any location to any destination.
By leveraging multiple data links and existing network infrastructures, it optimizes resource efficiency, adapting to your specific needs while providing low-latency data transmission.
Robust Wireless Data Transmission
Elsight’s advanced bi-directional algorithm segments various data types (including video, audio, telemetry, etc.) into encrypted packets. These packets are transmitted through multiple cellular and RF IP links using secure VPN tunneling, then decrypted and reassembled at the receiving end. The system automatically identifies any failed channels, switching seamlessly to the most effective transmission method available.
Halo UAV Communication system
Reliable drone connectivity for beyond line of sight operations
Halo ensures dependable connectivity even in fluctuating conditions for small drones and robotic systems. This compact solution is designed for minimal power consumption and heat generation, allowing for extended flight ranges and the ability to undertake complex missions beyond visual line of sight while maintaining secure communications.
The platform’s innovative bonding technology and secure communication protocols offer numerous benefits for UAV and autonomous vehicle data links:
High Bandwidth
Halo optimizes available bandwidth by combining multiple communication links into a single secure network tunnel, enabling the seamless transmission of large volumes of video, audio, and data.
Low Latency
By utilizing all available cellular network resources, latency is minimized, allowing for near real-time data transmission for drones and robotic systems.
Cybersecure High-Integrity Data Transmission
The risk of data interception poses a notable threat to drones and robotic systems transmitting sensitive information over conventional mobile technologies.
Halo ensures that your UAV communications remain secure and confidential at all times, encrypting and segmenting data, and transmitting it through multiple cellular links simultaneously. Built-in authentication allows for immediate verification of platform users.
Redundant Capabilities for Enhanced Reliability
Many conventional UAV data links fail to guarantee consistent and reliable connectivity, hindering seamless control and data transmission.
Multilayer Hybrid Connectivity
Halo protects against system failures by employing multiple cellular pathways, automatically detecting issues and rerouting transmissions to ensure continuous operation.
Multiple System Configuration Options
Halo’s adaptable communication capabilities allow drones and robots to connect through various options, enabling control of multiple vehicles from a single command center.
drones and autonomous vehicles equipped with Halo can transmit and receive data via secure VPN tunneling to Elsight’s Cloud platform or an on-premise server, utilizing multiple cellular links to ensure optimal transmission conditions.
Halo can also facilitate P2P connectivity, leveraging low-latency, cost-effective RF links when in close proximity, and switching to cellular bonding for establishing a BVLOS data link.
Halo is offered in two practical formats: an OEM module for straightforward integration into any platform, and a standalone connectivity solution.
Applications of Halo Technology
Precision Agriculture
BVLOS drones can efficiently cover extensive agricultural areas in a single flight, equipped with visual, multispectral, and thermal sensors to collect vital data on crop health, irrigation levels, and livestock counts. This information enables agricultural professionals to concentrate on critical areas and implement necessary measures to enhance yields.
Construction & Surveying
Aerial imaging via drones is ideal for various construction tasks, including site surveys, topographic mapping, stockpile measurement, and project documentation. Survey drones can be operated remotely without halting operations or endangering personnel.
Mining
Halo enables BVLOS drones to scout potential mining locations, monitor vehicle road conditions, and manage inventory levels, allowing a single operator to oversee a fleet of drones, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.
oil & Gas
Drones equipped with the Halo platform can operate beyond visual line of sight to inspect offshore facilities,identify spills and gas leaks,and deliver essential spare parts and equipment without the need for a vessel.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Long-range drones can survey critical utility and infrastructure assets, including roads, railways, bridges, pylons, power lines, and solar panels. With Halo, operators can deploy these drones in dynamic communication environments, covering vast areas without the risk of losing connection.
military & Defense
Halo has been utilized in tactical settings to assist military and defense forces in gathering critical ISR data, enhancing situational awareness, and facilitating more effective decision-making. Its robust multi-link connectivity allows mission-critical drones to function even amidst electronic warfare and jamming attempts.
First Responders & Public Safety
Drones offer a crucial aerial perspective for law enforcement, first responders, and public safety personnel, delivering life-saving information that enhances the likelihood of successful mission outcomes. Halo extends the operational range of these drones by providing secure and uninterrupted NLOS connectivity for real-time control and monitoring.
