MotionUAV MUD-1401A, 1.4GHz/2.4GHz Long Range Digital Link

MotionUAV MUD-1401A is an HD data and video transmission system, with an Analog Device transceiver model AD936x integrated inside to offer long-range communication distances of up to 30km with no interference. It is the best choice for live video and wireless data link drone streaming with a downlink throughput of 2.3Mbps~15.3Mbps (10MHz bandwidth) and an uplink throughput of 115200bps (2.5MHz bandwidth).

Fully compatible with the available open-source Ground Control Station Software, you can use QGroundControl and MissionPlanner to capture all video and telemetry data from the air unit through the USB port (Ethernet Port). You can extend the range of your radio controller by connecting the SBUS or PPM output. Even though its latency depends on your input video device, the system adds less than 200ms, which is among the best. It is fully compatible with MotionUAV MUG-101C and MUD-1401.

Compactness was a priority when designing MUD-1401A. Everything is packed in just an 80x79x24.5mm package, and the total weight is just 170g. Industrial LEMO connectors are used for the interfaces to bring ease of mind for the user in harsh environments. As well as telemetry transmission, image transmission, and radio control, this package includes everything you need to fly your drone. A great feature of the program is that it is compatible with many open-source flight controllers, like Pixhawk, APM, BetaFlight, etc. You can feed video input from your camera via Ethernet on the air unit. Your flight controller can be connected directly to the Telemetry and RC ports.
