Intended use
The HOD4stream not only equips a UAS with real-time remote control over theoretically unlimited range, but also provides a full HD video stream with low latency. This is made possible by a bidirectional internet connection between UAS and the associated ground station via LTE. For example, control data can be sent via the MAVLink protocol and the video stream can be received on site. The video stream is only possible in conjunction with the supplied camera.
The combination of live video transmission and control, even beyond the usual radio range of the remote controls, enables flights of a UAS over long distances beyond the visual line of sight of the pilot (BVLOS). In addition, data transmission is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring a high level of security. Due to its low weight, the HOD4stream and associated camera can be individually attached to almost any aircraft. It includes LTE connectivity in addition to the LTE modem.
The supplied client software receives the video and provides interfaces for the bidirectional command & control data channel.
The use of the hardware is intended for exclusive use within Germany.

Perfect complement
In combination with the HOD4track, a GNSS LTE transponder, your drone can be integrated into the airspace as a full-fledged participant. The HOD4track transmits the position data of itself and other surrounding air traffic participants via LTE to the UTM.
HOD4TRACK
LTE transponder for visualization of unmanned aerial objects. Easily and quickly mountable on almost any drone. Meets requirements for issuing BVLOS operating permits for UAS.
