Video Data Links VDL With Ethernet Ports For 100km Drones UAV Secure Communications
This advanced video data links system employs frequency hopping spread spectrum technology. It can transmit real-time video, telemetry, and control signals between unmanned vehicles (UAVs/UGVs) and ground stations. They utilize radio frequencies (600MHz/ 1.4GHz) to provide secure, low-latency, long-range HD video (up to 100km+), often used in defense, security, and surveillance applications.
Key Features
- TDD Duplex mode operation
- Maximum 100Mbps Iperf throughput
- Supports chained, star, mesh, and hybrid networking
- FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology
- Security: data is protected with AES128 encryption

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. This video data links supports IP cameras - what if I want to use a camera with HDMI or SDI video output?
The default video input is IP RJ45 Ethernet port. For cameras with HDMI, SDI, AHD, or AV output, our mini encoder device is required to encode the video and audio signals into digital data for transmission.

At the receiver end, you can connect directly to computers or NVRs. For HDMI monitor output, our decoder device converts the digital data back to HDMI video and audio signals.
