Key Considerations
Directional vs. Omni-Directional:
Directional antennas focus the signal in a specific direction, providing a longer range and stronger signal strength compared to omnidirectional antennas, which radiate signals in all directions but have limited range.
Frequency:
Most drone systems operate on 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz frequencies. The choice of frequency impacts range and potential interference from other devices. The 5.8 GHz band generally offers less interference but may have a shorter range compared to 2.4 GHz. We can customize the frequency according to your demand. The most used frequency is 1.4G, avoiding 2.4G and 5.8G so many interferences.
Mounting:
Proper mounting of the antenna is crucial for maintaining optimal signal strength. It is recommended to keep antennas away from conductive materials and to orient them correctly based on the drone’s flight path.
Sophia –
This directional flat panel antenna transformed our long-range drone missions! The phenomenal 16dBi gain extends video range to 5km+ with crystal-clear zero-latency HD, slicing through urban clutter and dense forests where omni antennas fail. Its ultra-slim profile and carbon fiber build withstands 60mph winds on rooftops or field deployments, while the precision 30° beamwidth eliminates signal hunting – just point and lock. Setup took 90 seconds: magnetic tripod mount + auto-polarization tuning. After enduring pixelated feeds with helical antennas, this rugged marvel delivers buttery-smooth FPV at extreme distances while surviving rain, dust, and drops. A game-changer for industrial inspections, search/rescue, and cinematic aerial mapping
