Data Transmission & Network Connectivity Hardware for OEMs of Mission-Critical Drones & Robotics

BotBlox is a leading developer of data transmission and network connectivity hardware for OEMs of mission-critical drones and robotics. With a focus on Ethernet-based communication bus technology, we provide rugged low-SWaP (size, weight and power) board-level solutions that can be integrated directly into military and government UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles), and other robotic systems. Our broad client base includes NATO entities, national defense organizations, and leading aerospace and robotics manufacturers.

All of our hardware, firmware and software is designed and tested in-house at our UK-based facilities by our expert engineering team. This ensures that we have the most in-depth knowledge of the inner working of our products, and allows us to provide the highest level of technical support.

In addition to providing off-the-shelf solutions, we also offer OEM and customization capabilities and can tailor our technologies to meet your exact requirements. We are a highly agile company and boast rapid turnaround times, and can work closely with our clients to ensure seamless integration and customer satisfaction.
