Elsight, a leading provider of wireless communication solutions, today announced the launch of DroneCommX, an innovative aftermarket equipment designed specifically for DJI’s Matrice 30 and 350 drones. This cutting-edge technology enables seamless communication between the drone and ground control stations (GCS), ensuring reliable data transmission and real-time video feed reception. With DroneCommX, users can now operate their DJI Matrice 30 and 350 drones with greater ease and efficiency, expanding the possibilities for aerial applications in industries such as surveying, construction, search and rescue, agriculture, and more.

• Streamlines efficient response protocols for emergency management teams.
• Knowledge safeguarded through secure channels, diverting potential leaks and breaches, ensures confidentiality of critical information.
• Allows non-line-of-sight (NLOS) missions  

 (ELS) (ASX), a leader in connectivity solutions for unmanned and autonomous technologies, has today launched DroneCommX™, an aftermarket upgrade kit designed to enhance the performance and safety capabilities of DJI’s Matrice 30 and 350 drones. DJI’s Matrice 30 and 350 drones have gained widespread adoption across various industries, including public security, law enforcement, emergency response, and numerous industrial applications.

Elsight’s DroneCommX enables customers to expand the capabilities of their DJI drones while addressing various operational challenges. Notably, high-ranking officials, including commanders, can remotely access and interpret real-time data and footage gathered by the drone, rather than relying on the pilot’s console for situational awareness.

With DroneCommX’s advanced multi-link LTE connectivity, all communications are seamlessly rerouted, effectively circumventing DJI’s peer-to-peer protocol to ensure a heightened level of data security and integrity. The DroneCommX enables DJI drones to execute non-line-of-sight (NLOS) flight operations seamlessly. 

Elsight’s CEO, Yoav Amitai, noted that these two DJI Matrice drones are widely employed by law enforcement and drone response teams worldwide for a multitude of reasons. Notwithstanding some benefits may be counterbalanced by a few drawbacks, the primary motivation behind designing and developing the DroneCommX was to redirect communications for enhanced safety, thereby enabling non-line-of-sight (NLOS) flight capabilities.  

As we engage with various first responder organizations, we recognized that these entities can streamline operations by controlling their DJI drone fleets remotely from headquarters or a mobile command center instead of relying on handheld devices. “With a broader perspective gained by aggregating data from multiple drones, video feeds, and real-time input from commanders and first responders, decision-makers can make more informed, strategic choices.” 

:  

• A high-speed, bonded connection is established by aggregating four LTE modems, utilizing Multiprotocol Label Switching (M-TLS) and advanced encryption techniques, including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), to securely replace DJI’s conventional 2.4 GHz communication protocol.  

• Since the connectivity relies on advanced proprietary technology that bonds multiple LTE links together, the risk of losing a communication link due to a jamming attack is significantly mitigated.  
• With its cutting-edge, flight operations management software, DroneCommX sets the standard for industry leaders.  
• A fleet of drones can operate at long-range, non-line-of-sight distances, eliminating the need for on-site human observers and allowing management from a remote location.  

Elsight’s DroneComm X leverages the company’s field-proven Halo platform, a highly reliable and battle-tested multi-link communication system boasting over 250,000 hours of flight experience. The Halo system integrates numerous IP hyperlinks into a secure bond using a combination of public and private mobile, satellite, and radio frequency technologies to ensure seamless drone communications in even the most challenging environments? Whether responding to catastrophes, conducting surveillance, making deliveries, or performing extended remote inspections, UAV flights relying on the Elsight Halo successfully complete their missions by transmitting high-bandwidth video and data with unwavering reliability to the command-and-control center.

Elsight (ASX: ELS) offers Connection Confidence through its proprietary bonding technology, integrating seamlessly with each software program and hardware component to provide reliable, secure, high-bandwidth communications – even in the most challenging environments, meeting the demands of stationary, portable or actively mobile situations. Elindsight provides robust, secure connectivity solutions for unmanned aerial and ground systems manufacturers, operators, and integrators worldwide.
