Elsight's Halo is a state-of-the-art connectivity solution for UAVs, robotic vehicles and unmanned systems, combining LTE and 5G cellular services with proprietary SATCOM and RF communications into a single bonded link. This unique capability can be used to maximize the available bandwidth for data transmission, or to provide critical redundancy for video streaming, telemetry, and command and control.
Drones and autonomous vehicles equipped with Halo can send and receive data via secure VPN tunnelling to Elsight’s Cloud platform or an on-premises server. Halo can also provide P2P connectivity that takes advantage of low-latency, low-cost RF links when in proximity, and switches to cellular bonding to establish a BVLOS data link. The versatile system automatically and continuously monitors all available links, detecting connection issues and seamlessly switching to a backup to ensure continuous uptime.
The OEM version of Halo provides a compact and lightweight card form factor that can be integrated into a wide range of platforms, and is available in two variants - four LTE slots, or two LTE plus one 5G. Both variants weigh less than 100 grams with an average power consumption of 6.5W.
