News — Sky Drone FPV

A new paper that was published in the Endangered Species Research journal last month shows how Sky Drone FPV can be used for sea turtle conservation. Quote: Incorporating the use of cellular networks to trigger autonomous UAV missions or remotely fly FPV is already in development (Sky Drone FPV). If successful, this will reduce the need to visit remote field sites in monitoring programmes (with the caveat that there is cellular network coverage), thus saving resources that can be used on other initiatives. Abstract: The use of satellite systems and manned aircraft surveys for remote data collection has been shown...

 A while back, we've took a quick video to demonstrate Sky Drone FPV 2 performance on a very bad cellular connection. Our dynamic bandwidth adaptation (available in Sky Drone FPV 2 and Sky Drone Link) takes care of such changing conditions and automatically adapts the transmitted data to the changed conditions. Read more about: How it works. Here is the video:  Obviously, at different bandwidths, conditions and network capabilities, different amounts of data are being transmitted. While our system usually targets 2 Mbps, the used bandwidth can vary. Note: command and control data is negligible. Here you can find out How...
