What we have
250мZOOM!
30+ km
Flying further only based on GPS coordinates, and is blind
1 km
RANGE CONTROL RESTRICTION ISSUEWhat we need
Unclear where it fliesUnclear what it records
Risk of errors with GPSand losing the device
Mass market drone flight range is restricted by WiFi or radio channels to 1-7 km

Control and video transmission using 3G/4G LTE mobile network
Flight range is 30-50 km and limited only to accumulator capacity
Height is up to 250m which is enough for 90% of potential tasks
Mobile network is available in majority of places where drones are commercially used
Control delay via mobile network is 50 ms, compared with WiFi at 10-40 msVideo delay is 1-2 sec is acceptable

• Adaptive bitrate• Redundancy algorithms • Balancing traffic between the channels• Different operators in 3G/4G regimes
simultaneously
Streaming of up to 4K video* via mobile network without losses
Control board and software: modems, power supply, temperature, accumulator charge. Allows us to integrate control with external devices like drones.
Available client and server software for video/traffic/commands transmission. Next step is a cloud solution.
AIRHD - TECHNOLOGY IS ALREADY AVAILABLE
Our key technology is high quality video transmission over 6-8 channels of mobile networks simultaneously
Plus there is a technological platform for drone control

1. Equipment for the FullHD live broadcast over mobile networks. Transmission over 6 modems
Developed and launched products
2. Mobile Internet access point with connection via 4 USB modems simultaneously
3. Module for video transmission via LAN and HD-SDI signal output
AIRHD – WE CAN CREATE PRODUCTS
Since 2012 AirHD develops solutions for video and data transmission via mobile network
Used by TV companies
Only about 10 companies in the world have the technology which allows high quality video transmission via mobile network with multi-channeling
We know how to significantly decrease the weigh due to hardware codec 7
WEIGHT IS CRITICAL FOR DRONES
Our solution for FullHD transmission weighs 600 gramsNext version will weigh 300 grams
