This partnership has enabled UAV operators to inspect pipelines and power lines and perform surveillance missions across the world. The Perimeter’s onboard StreamCaster radio provides the Perimeter with a steady, reliable video and control link. The StreamCaster’s MIMO and beamforming technologies successfully overcome range limitations, signal attenuation and multipath interference, to allow the Perimeter XLRS to operate in environments where other data links typically fail, such as in maritime, mountain, and jungle deployments.
The Perimeter XLRS’s integration of the StreamCaster is comprehensive. It includes:
- Latency-free manual/joystick and waypoint control up to 60 miles away
- RF/EMI protection from the powerful onboard radio
- Testing and integration with numerous sensor payloads
- H264/H265 encoding for any HDMI-output camera
- A fully integrated ground station with directional ground antennas
- Seamless power and harnessing
- AES256-encrypted video and control links
- Elimination of interference between GNSS unit and radio
“The integration of the StreamCaster into the Perimeter line of UAVs has enabled it to fully utilize its extreme endurance and fly beyond-line-of-sight (BVLOS) missions with ease,” said Troy Mestler, CEO of Skyfront. “We are very excited to be partnering with Silvus Technologies to bring long-range aerial platforms into the mainstream.”
“Silvus Technologies is proud to have Skyfront as one of our UAV partners. The Perimeter XLRS’s ability to support long endurance VTOL flight with the Silvus MN-MIMO waveform makes it a unique differentiator in the marketplace,” said Kasey Cooper, Director of Unmanned Systems at Silvus Technologies.
