MD01Pro Drone Mesh Radio
▪ Small Size & Light Weight ▪ 1 Watt Transmit Power ▪ 5 Seconds Quick Setup Time ▪ Up to 64 IP Mesh Nodes* ▪ Up to 25Mbps Data Rate** ▪ AES128/256 Security Protection ▪ 30KM Air-to-Ground Transmission
Unlike a typical point-to-point drone video link, an airborne mesh radio works as a node in a mesh network. It can help connect ground teams, vehicles, fixed relay nodes, and command centers through aerial relay.
1. Airborne IP Mesh Radio
Turn UAVs into aerial relay nodes for wider coverage.
The Airborne IP Mesh Radiois designed for UAVs, drones, tethered drones, and aerial relay platforms. It helps extend communication coverage over mountains, forests, valleys, buildings, and other non-line-of-sight areas.
By placing a mesh node in the air, the system creates a better communication path between field teams, vehicles, fixed stations, and command centers.
Key Points
-

4. Introduction
The 1W airborne mesh radio is suitable for lightweight UAV platforms that need to work as an aerial mesh node or short-range aerial relay in a private wireless network. It is recommended for small UAV integration, temporary aerial relay testing, emergency observation, and field communication support where low weight and low power consumption are important.
This model is suitable when the UAV has limited payload capacity and the airborne node is mainly used to improve local communication coverage between ground teams and nearby mesh nodes.

Brief Case: 1W Airborne Mesh Radio for Lightweight UAV Relay Testing
A small UAV platform in China used a 1W airborne mesh radio as a temporary aerial relay node during field communication testing. The airborne node helped connect nearby ground workers with a vehicle-mounted mesh radio. Before integration, air unit weight, power supply, antenna position, flight time, and local relay area were confirmed.
