Drones & Robotics
From Experimental Tools to Infrastructure
The convergence of Advanced Wireless Connectivity and Edge AI is no longer a futuristic luxury, it is the baseline for competitive drone and robotics platforms. As the global robotics market climbs toward a projected $124 billion this year, the shift from "remote-controlled" to "fully autonomous" is being driven by the ability to process massive datasets locally and stay connected in the most challenging environments. The global drone and robotics market is undergoing a massive transformation, evolving from experimental tools into the backbone of industrial and commercial infrastructure.
Edge AI Processing is Mission-Critical
For modern autonomous systems, latency is the difference between a successful mission and a catastrophic failure. Traditional off-board or cloud-based processing introduces delays that are unacceptable for high-speed obstacle avoidance, real-time object detection, and complex path planning. Our range of All-in-One Edge AI solutions based on the latest Qualcomm Dragonwing SoC processors eliminate these bottlenecks by performing heavy-duty neural network computations directly on the device. By processing data at the source, your Drones and Robots gain:
- Ultra-low decision-making latency: Essential for avoiding collisions at high speeds.
- Enhanced Privacy & Security: Sensitive data never leaves the hardware, reducing the risk of interception.
- Energy Efficiency: Leveraging cutting edge semiconductor processes to incorporate high performance heterogeneous compute to reduce the need for continuous high-bandwidth data transmission preserves battery life, extending flight and operational times.
Resilient Connectivity for Uninterrupted Long-Range Operations
An intelligent drone or robot is only as effective as its connection to the rest of the ecosystem. Whether it’s receiving mission updates, transmitting high-definition telemetry, or coordinating as part of a swarm, wireless connectivity is the lifeline of the machine. Standard Wi-Fi is often insufficient for the mobility, range and operating conditions required by industrial applications.
Our Competence in Drones & Robotics
We are seeing a shift toward "Physical AI," where machines don’t just move – they think, adapt, and collaborate in real-time. From autonomous delivery fleets and precision agriculture to high-stakes industrial inspections and emergency response, the demand for machines that can operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and in unstructured environments has never been higher. To meet this demand, developers are moving away from discrete designs with cloud computing in favour of decentralized, intelligent platforms that can handle the complexity of the physical world.
Our plug and play wireless solutions are engineered for resilience and mobility, offering:
- Flexible Connectivity: Leveraging ISM band as well as extended frequencies to power mesh networking technology between drones and robotics delivering "always-available" communication.
- High-Bandwidth Data Links: Supporting the transmission of video, telemetry and sensor payloads with a high degree of configurability
- Resilience: Narrow channels, frequency shifting and carrier sensing to workaround interference and / or jamming during operation
- Range: Plug and Play solutions capable of between 20km and 80km range
