Sky-Drones' AIRLink (Artificial Intelligence & Remote Link) combines a state-of-the-art drone autopilot, AI-powered mission computer and 4G/5G connectivity to provide an advanced all-in-one flight control solution for enterprise drone operations. BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight)-capable and UTM (unmanned traffic management)-ready, the system can be easily integrated into any type of UAV, including multirotor, fixed-wing and VTOL.

AIRLink is equipped with a 1080p HDR camera for superior image quality, with an external FPV camera connector for quick and easy integration, as well as a separate HDMI interface for payload cameras. The unit also includes USB and I2C / UART connectivity as well as a redundant CAN bus for connecting critical peripherals.

A separate AIRLink Telemetry module is available that provides a broadband AES-256 encrypted private data channel for ranges of up to 20km.

The device includes built in LTE (4G/5G) and Wi-Fi connectivity, providing Internet access from the very first boot-up. An Ethernet Port with power output is also provided.
