The BluSDR-30 is a 2W software defined radio module that carries a self-healing tactical mesh across medium-range UxV links up to 30km on small drone platforms.
Two COFDM transceivers deliver 1W (+30dBm) per output for 2W total, with 0.25dB incremental control.
Tuned for medium-range UxV links up to 30km on small drone platforms and mobile nodes.
MeshUltra-X MANET waveform forms a self-healing mesh of up to 144 nodes with capacity up to 87Mbps.
Clamshell and Plain variants accept USB-C power compliant with USB PD, direct from device or battery.
Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232 serial, dual USB, and on-board headset audio cover most payload interfaces.
Robust Boxed variant rated IP68, with EMC screening included across the module range.
Optional AES128/256 accredited to FIPS140-2 for MeshUltra. Internal microSD 128GB onboard storage.
