CUAV P8 Radio Drone Telemetry Overview
CUAV P8 Radio Drone Telemetry is a long range wireless datalink drone module. It is suitable for communication from a UAV to the ground control station (GCS) due to its high sensitivity and high power. This module can stream data up to 40km line of sight range and supports multiple modes of communication including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and relay communication.
General Specifications CUAV P8
You can power the module using 3~12S battery supplies, and the internal circuits provide the desired working voltage for the module. The aluminum shell design creates a nice look while protecting the device from harsh environments and environmental interferences. The working frequency of the module is 840MHz-845MHz.
Transparent Communication Interfaces
CUAV P8 is a transparent communication link, which means you can connect with whatever device you want, no matter the protocol that the device uses. Just provide the input data in the supported format of your device, and you will receive the same frames on the other side.
The module is connected to your flight controller (installed on the drone) with the serial interface (GHR-06V-S connector), and the other side connects to the Ground Control Station (GCS) with the USB cable. The module operates by default on 1W power for the maximum range, but you can optionally change the output power using the USB port.
