RDTECH’s SDR products can be dynamically reconfigured to support changing mission requirements and network conditions, and can be programmed to support a wide range of communication protocols and standards, thus ensuring a high degree of versatility and interoperability. The radios incorporate a variety of cutting-edge wireless technologies, including cognitive radio, frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS), and mesh networking.

RDL-2 compact SDR for drones and roboticsThe RDL-2 is a compact SDR that is ideal for a wide range of drones, robotics and autonomous vehicles, providing a range of up to 100 km. With self-forming and self-healing capabilities, it features unlimited frequency hops and incorporates intelligent time-based blacklisting algorithms.

The RDL-3 provides a communications range of up to 200 km for long-endurance UAVs and unmanned systems. Like the RDL-2, it also features self-forming and self-healing capabilities, unlimited frequency hops and intelligent time-based blacklisting algorithms.

RD-XLRThe RD-SR/MR/LR/XLR family of devices provides robust omnidirectional signal tracking even under highly demanding conditions, with options for maximum ranges of 15, 30, 100 and 200 km. The systems are ideal for UAV and robotics communication, surveillance, and navigation in mission-critical applications such as security, military operations, and emergency response.

The RD-HUB allows users to quickly set up a self-forming and self-healing network with up to 32 nodes and unlimited hops. Its versatility and rapid deployment makes it ideal for mission-critical drone and unmanned systems applications such as public safety and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance).

mesh radio communications solutionThe RD-EDGE is a versatile SDR connectivity solution available in variants designed for either mobile or stationary applications. Featuring up to 40 Mbit throughput and low-latency self-forming and self-healing network capabilities, it is ideal for surveillance and vehicle-to-vehicle communications.
