EDX - COFDM Drone Downlink

EDX is a bi-directional, long range video and data link for Drones and UAVs with 150km+ range.

1080p or 4K video with HDMI or SDI and bi-directional data. Ethernet, 2X high speed serial. Available in bands (UHF*, 900MHz*, 2400Mhz and 5Ghz) 1W to 30W output for 150km+ LOS range. 
*Data throughput is limited to 16mbps on UHF/900MHz

EDX
was designed with drone manufacturers and operators in mind. Compact size, coupled with bi-directional high-speed data, long range, in an easy to use package. Dedicated up and down COFDM link providing stable transmission at any speed, up to 600KM/H.

EDX further enhances RF flexibility by allowing users to adjust channel bandwidths between 1.4, 3, 5, 10, and 20MHz. By incorporating AES 128 Encryption, dynamic frequency selection, and adaptive modulation, EDX requires minimal setup and provides exceptionally reliable links.  It has been specifically optimized to meet the requirements of mission-critical mobile video data applications while providing customizable Quality of Service (QoS) settings for end users.

COFDM in a nutshell

COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) video transmission technology is widely used in the transmission of video signals from bomb disposal robots to their operators. COFDM is a highly reliable method of transmitting high-quality video signals over a long range, making it ideal for use in hazardous environments such as bomb disposal scenarios. COFDM allows the robot to transmit real-time video feed to the operator, providing them with a clear view of the situation and helping them to make informed decisions.
COFDM is also highly resistant to signal interference and distortion, which is essential in bomb disposal scenarios where the transmission of video signals may be disrupted by external factors such as building structures, electromagnetic radiation, or other sources of interference. With COFDM, the robot can transmit video signals over a long distance without experiencing significant signal loss, making it easier for the operator to control the robot and respond to the situation effectively.
In addition to its reliability and resistance to interference, COFDM also allows for encryption and decryption of video signals. This feature is crucial in bomb disposal scenarios, as it ensures that sensitive information is not intercepted by unauthorized individuals. By encrypting the video signals, operators can transmit sensitive information securely and ensure that it remains confidential, further enhancing the safety and security of bomb disposal operations. Overall, COFDM video transmission technology plays a crucial role in bomb disposal robots by providing reliable, secure, and high-quality video signals that allow operators to carry out their tasks safely and effectively.
