Providing ultra-reliable and secure connectivity and data transmission in the harshest of environments, Elsight’s Halo platform is the solution of choice for military and first responder UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) around the world.
Halo is a lightweight, compact and low-power platform that aggregates all available cellular, SATCOM, and proprietary RF links into one securely bonded communications pipe, delivering an unprecedented level of reliability and critical redundancy for BVLOS drone and robotics systems. In most cases, Halo uses public or private LTE and/or 5G modems or optionally, Wi-Fi, RF, and SAT links via an ETH/UART port.
Thanks to this state-of-the-art bonding technology, Halo provides its host platform with effectively unlimited range connectivity with low latency, and maximal bandwidth even under the most challenging of conditions.
The Halo is not just a bonding device, it’s an aggregation solution, which is field-proven in military and law enforcement applications.
- The Halo supports native MAVLink comments allowing extra redundancy for flight computer links.
- Cellular mapping with future GPS mapping. Cellular mapping of up to 4 carriers simultaneously, that can be used to take the signal quality into account while planning the flying route.
- Extremely efficient SWaP (size, weight, power consumption) ratio that can be integrated into any moving platform with power constraints.
The Halo Card is a lightweight and compact OEM form factor connectivity platform that aggregates all available cellular (4G LTE & 3G), SATCOM, and proprietary RF links into one securely bonded communications pipeline, delivering an unprecedented level of reliability and critical redundancy for BVLOS drone and robotics systems.
This variant of the card allows users to take advantage of the enhanced throughput and lower latency of 5G, and supports both SA and NSA 5G networks.
The system’s AI-powered 6th Sense algorithms monitor a wide range of factors for each datalink in real time, including latency, packet loss, and network congestion. This information is used to intelligently balance traffic load between all available links, ensuring the utmost in reliability even in highly dynamic communications environments. Sensor, video and telemetry data is delivered securely and reliably via VPN tunnelling to a proprietary management platform, which can be hosted in the cloud or on an onsite server, providing flexible deployment options.
The Boxed Halo is a lightweight and compact standalone connectivity platform that aggregates all available cellular, SATCOM, and proprietary RF links into one securely bonded communications pipeline, delivering an unprecedented level of reliability and critical redundancy for BVLOS drone and robotics systems.
