Halo OEM

The Halo OEM from Elsight is a compact, NDAA-compliant cellular connectivity module designed for direct integration into UAVs and unmanned systems. It combines multiple communication links (including public LTE/5G, private 5G, radio, and satellite), into a unified encrypted data channel.

This configuration maintains continuous Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) connectivity in contested or communication-limited environments. Using multi-link bonding and AES-256-CBC encryption, Halo OEM provides secure, uninterrupted command and control (C2) and ISR data transmission across all available networks. The module’s sub-100g weight, low power consumption, and extended operating temperature range support reliable deployment in diverse mission profiles.

Military & Defense

Halo supports secure C2, telemetry, and data transmission for UAV and UGV operations that require Non-Line-of-Sight connectivity. Its data-splitting architecture encrypts and distributes packets across cellular, SATCOM, and MANET networks, reassembling them through VPN tunneling without loss of continuity. The logical connectivity layer monitors and prioritizes multiple channels, routing traffic based on link performance to remove single points of failure.

Quality of Service (QoS) policies ensure that command, control, and sensor data are transmitted without interruption. The system’s compact form factor, low SWaP characteristics, and AES-256-CBC encryption enable secure, persistent communication under variable environmental and electromagnetic conditions.

HLS / Public Safety / DFR

Halo provides continuous BVLOS connectivity for UAVs supporting homeland security, public safety, and disaster response activities. The platform bonds LTE/5G, RF, and SATCOM links into one encrypted communication path, maintaining constant connection with the command center. Predictive analytics and QoS management preserve stable data transfer for live video, telemetry, and control feeds under changing network conditions.

Halo’s encryption and data-splitting processes protect sensitive information through dual-VPN tunneling. Available cloud and on-premises management options provide visibility and control for authorized operators. Halo’s integration history includes extended operational use and successful BVLOS certification support for approved unmanned platforms.
