This case study showcases how Doodle Labs successfully established a remarkable 116-kilometer data link using its Smart Radio in a dynamic aerial setting, as tested by Paramount Advanced Technologies.
Doodle Labs is thrilled to report the prosperous establishment of a 116-kilometer data link with its Smart Radio in a mobile aerial context.
The testing was carried out by Paramount Advanced Technologies, a division of Paramount Group, a prominent aerospace and technology firm based in South Africa.
The test utilized a standard S-Band Smart Radio model,RM-2250-2H-XS,which operates within the frequency range of 2.2 to 2.3 GHz and delivers an output power of 2 Watts (33 dBm). The setup included a compact 3 dBi antenna mounted on the aircraft and a 23 dBi directional antenna at the ground station. Remarkably,the Smart Radios achieved a throughput of 300 Kbps over a distance of 116 kilometers while a small Cessna aircraft carried the testing equipment into the distance.
“we engineered the Smart Radio for extensive interaction ranges, and this serves as a meaningful validation of its capabilities,” stated Ashish Parikh, Vice President of Business Development at Doodle Labs. “We extend our gratitude to the Paramount team for their adept system design and effective utilization of the Smart Radio.”
“Integrating the Smart Radio into our systems is exciting, as it offers the best combination of cost and performance we have encountered in a radio. Collaborating with the Doodle Labs team has been a rewarding experience,” remarked Evangelos Petropoulos,General Manager of Autonomous Systems at Paramount.
