INNOVATION AT OUR CORE

TEN WATTS BUILT TO BE RUGGED

Long-range missions need RF power in hardware built for the field. The BluSDR-90-R delivers 5 W per output and 10 W total RF, giving operators the link margin required for extended line-of-sight drone operations. Selectable bandwidths from 1.25 MHz to 20 MHz allow teams to balance reach and data rate, while adaptive modulation helps maintain performance as mission conditions shift.

MORE INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS

FLEXIBLE INTERFACES FOR ANY DOMAIN

Unmanned platforms need a radio that connects cleanly across payloads, vehicles, and control systems. BluSDR-90-R routes Gigabit Ethernet, USB, RS-232, analogue audio, GPIO, and power through sealed Fischer connectors built for field handling. As a MANET radio, it forms a MeshUltra-X self-healing network of up to 144 nodes, with Interlink mode supporting larger-scale systems as platforms join the mesh.

PROVEN RESILIENCE

IP68 SEALED FOR CONTESTED FIELDS

Survivability decides whether the link holds through the hardest missions. Sealed to IP68 and operating from -20°C to +55°C, the BluSDR-90-R is built to resist dust, immersion, movement, and harsh field conditions. Wide 10 to 32 V DC input supports vehicle and platform power, while DES as standard and optional AES128/AES256 encryption protect traffic across MeshUltra waveforms.
