BEYOND_VISUAL_LINE_OF_SIGHT
Flying BVLOS means the pilot cannot see the drone with their own eyes. To fly a Specter-Hive unit 50 miles away, we rely on a "Triple-Redundant Telemetry Stack" to ensure the link never breaks.
THE REDUNDANCY STACK
PRIMARY: ELRS / Crossfire (900MHz)
- Range: 10km - 40km.
- Pros: Low latency, high penetration through trees/buildings.
- Cons: Requires "Line of Sight" between the ground antenna and drone.
SECONDARY: LTE / 5G Mesh
- Range: Infinite (where cellular towers exist).
- Pros: Unlimited distance; high bandwidth for HD video streaming.
- Cons: Latency can spike; useless in rural/wild areas.
TERTIARY: SAT-LINK (Iridium)
- Range: Global (Total coverage).
- Pros: Works in the middle of the ocean or desert.
- Cons: Ultra-low bandwidth; used only for GPS coordinates and "Emergency Return to Home" commands.
ADS-B_INTEGRATION
"BVLOS flight is legally and technically impossible without an ADS-B Receiver. Our drones 'listen' for signals from nearby manned aircraft (Cessnas, Helicopters) and automatically descend to 50ft AGL if a collision risk is detected."
