SKYTRAC stands at the forefront of satellite communication technology, offering Iridium Certus-based solutions that provide reliable, low-latency command and control (C2) for UAVs, RPAS, and UAM platforms, even in the most challenging conditions.
Utilizing Iridium’s complete low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, SKYTRAC ensures global connectivity with data speeds reaching up to 704 Kbps.
These SATCOM terminals are crafted for a wide array of critical missions, including cargo transport, aerial mapping, governmental surveillance, and scientific exploration, guaranteeing consistent control and data flow for uncrewed systems operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
With SKYTRAC’s C2 solutions, operators can maintain continuous broadband and midband L-band communications with uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) across the globe. The Iridium certus system, designed for aviation, employs a pole-to-pole LEO network that remains unaffected by weather conditions or terrestrial barriers, ensuring reliable performance and real-time responsiveness with latency below 2 milliseconds on the Iridium NEXT network.
Devices such as SKYTRAC’s IMS, DLS-100, and DLS-140 are tailored to meet specific size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements, allowing users to select between broadband and midband L-band options for optimal operational efficiency.
