RockREMOTE UAV OEM

Ground Control's RockREMOTE UAV OEM is an ultra-lightweight board-level Iridium Certus® 100 terminal that is designed to be easily integrated into small tactical UAV platforms as well as Group 4–5 UAV architectures to provide global BVLOS communications, C2 and telemetry. With a low SWaP footprint, it is ideal for tightly enclosed fuselage spaces and features flexible mounting options for standoffs, rails, and internal bays.

Housed in a rugged flight-ready IP66-rated aluminium enclosure, the unit offers 22 kbps uplink and 88 kbps downlink over IP, as well as IMT messaging for efficient, event-driven telemetry and health monitoring. It provides a wide range of interfaces including Ethernet, serial and Bluetooth.
