80km Long Range Drone HDMI And SDI Video And Control Data Transmitter For UAV

The IWAVE FMS-8480 is a high-performance wireless transmission system designed for large drones (VTOL/fixed-wing), providing HDMI, SDI, and IP video input alongside serial data downlink. It enables full HD video streaming and MAVLINK flight control data transmission over an 80km range without relying on ground infrastructure.

Built on advanced TDD-COFDM technology, the FMS-8480 ensures high throughput (up to 6Mbps)for video transmission while maintaining exceptional signal stability in control channels—even at maximum range.

FMS-8480 also integrated full duplex serial control data for flight and gimbal contro at same time by pilot on ground.

WHO WE ARE?

IWAVE is headquartered in Shanghai. It is a high-tech entrepreneurial company and has been engaged in the production and R&D of mobile communications and application technology for 16 years. IWAVE focuses on the research and product development of wireless communication technologies such as 4G, 5G (under research), and MESH. It has established a mature product technology system and successfully developed a series of products including 4G/5G core network and 4G/5G wireless private network series base stations. As well as MESH wireless ad hoc network products, etc. IWAVE communication system is designed based on LTE technology standards. We have improved on the original LTE terminal technical standards stipulated by 3GPP, such as physical layer and air interface protocols, to make it more suitable for network transmission without central base station control.

The original standard LTE network requires the participation and control of base stations and core networks in addition to terminals. Now each node of our star topology network devices and MESH network devices is a terminal node. These nodes are lighter and retain many advantages of the original LTE technology. For example, it has the same architecture, physical layer and subframe as LTE. It also has LTE’s other advantages such as wide coverage, high spectrum utilization, high sensitivity, high bandwidth, low latency, and dynamic power control.

Compared with normal wireless link, such as wireless bridge or other devices based on wifi standard, the LTE technology has a subframe structure, the uplink and downlink data rate is not same. This characteristic enable the wireless link products' application more flexible. Because the uplink and downlink data rate can be adjusted based on real service requirements.

In addition to the self-developed product series, IWAVE also has the ability to integrate upstream and downstream product resources in the industry. For example, based on self-developed 4G/5G industry products, IWAVE integrates wireless terminal products and industry application platforms, thereby providing terminals - base stations - core networks - End-to-end customized products and industry solutions for industry application platforms. IWAVE focuses on serving domestic and foreign industry partners, such as special industry communications fields such as park ports, energy and chemicals, public security, special operations, and emergency rescue.

IWAVE is also a manufacture in China that develops, designs and produces industrial-grade fast deployment wireless communication devices, solution, software, OEM modules and LTE wireless communication devices for robotic systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) , connected teams, government defense and other type communication systems. IWAVE products provide fast deployment, high throughput, strong NLOS ability, ultra long range communication to mobile users with no reliance on fixed infrastructure. IWAVE keeps close touch with our military Government advisors and different field end users to constantly improve the product quality and performance.

HY IWAVE TEAM DETERMINED TO FOCUSE ON COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY?

The year 2008 was a disastrous year for China. In 2008, we suffer from snowstorm in southern China, 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake, 9.20 Shenzhen fire accident, flood, etc. The disaster not only make us more united but also made us realize high technology is life. During emergency rescue, advanced high technology can save more lives. Especially the communication system which is closely related to the success or failure of the entire rescue. Because disaster always destroy all the infrastructure, which make the rescue more difficult. At end of 2008, We begin to focus on developing the rapid deployment emergency communication system. Based on 14years of accumulated technology and experiences, we lead localization through reliability of equipment with strong NLOS ability, ultra long range and stable working performance in the UAV, robotics, vehicles wireless communication market. And we mainly supply the fast deployment communication system to army, government agencies and industries.
