MicroLink BVLOS Data Link
k
MicroLink is an aviation-grade, Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS), miniature data link radio
specifically designed for long range Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Command & Control (C2)
data links. It’s the ideal choice for applications sensitive to size, weight, and power demands,
MicroLink operates in the 902-928 MHz ISM band rather than a dedicated aviation band,
making FAA permission-to-transmit unnecessary. Annoying radio frequency interference is
mitigated, thanks to a robust dual radio architecture enhanced with spread spectrum
(frequency hopping) technology.
