CUAV P8 Radio Telemetry (Sky and Base unit)

The CUAV P8 Radio Telemetry Module is a high-performance, industrial-grade data link designed for the most demanding unmanned missions. Operating in the 840-845 MHz frequency band, the P8 shatters traditional range limitations by offering stable data transmission up to 60 km. This system provides a professional bridge between your Ground Control Station (GCS) and your aircraft, ensuring that whether you are conducting a long-range survey or a high-altitude research flight, your telemetry link remains “locked in” with minimal latency.

Key Features

The P8 is built for versatility and power. It supports a high data rate of 345 Kbps, allowing for the transmission of complex Mavlink data and flight commands in real-time. One of its standout architectural features is its Dual-End Switchover capability; both the Sky and Base units feature built-in TTL and USB ports, allowing them to be used interchangeably. For those operating complex missions, the P8 supports Point-to-Multipoint and Relay modes, allowing a single ground station to manage multiple drones or use an intermediate drone as a signal booster to bypass terrain obstacles.

Specifications

Reliability in the field is guaranteed by a robust, heat-dissipating CNC shell and a wide voltage input range. Unlike most telemetry modules that require a separate 5V BEC, the P8 accepts 12V to 60V (3S-12S) directly, significantly simplifying your wiring and reducing points of failure. The module utilizes advanced error correction algorithms to maintain data integrity even in RF-noisy environments. Physically, the units are compact and rugged, designed to withstand the vibrations and thermal stresses of industrial UAV operations.

Applications

The CUAV P8 is the “gold standard” for Long-Range Mapping and Surveying, where maintaining a link over tens of kilometers is mandatory. Its high data rate and stability make it an excellent choice for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations, such as pipeline inspections or forest fire monitoring. Additionally, its relay capabilities are highly valued by Search and Rescue teams operating in mountainous or urban areas where line-of-sight is frequently broken by the environment.
