RFD868ux-IND Long Range Telemetry Modem

The RFD868ux-IND is a high-performance, industrial-grade digital data link designed specifically for long-range telemetry applications within the Indian regulatory framework. Operating in the 868MHz band, this “UX” variant offers a compact, lightweight form factor without compromising on the 1-watt output power that has made the RFD series a global standard for UAV and remote sensing communications.

This bundle is optimized for professional drone operators and industrial IoT integrators who require a reliable, secure, and ultra-long-range bidirectional data link.

Key Features

• Optimized for India: Pre-configured for compliance with local 868MHz frequency regulations.

• 1-Watt Output Power: Capable of maintaining stable links over extreme distances (40km+ depending on antenna setup and terrain).

• Ultra-Compact UX Design: Significant weight and size reduction compared to standard RFD868+ models, making it ideal for weight-sensitive UAV platforms.

• Integrated Diversity Switching: Features dual antenna connectors with spatial diversity to maximize signal reliability and minimize multi-path interference.

• High Speed & Low Latency: Supports air data rates up to 250kbps, ensuring real-time telemetry and command-and-control (C2) stability.

• Industrial Protection: Built to withstand harsh RF environments with robust ESD protection and shielding.
