Research abstract
Zenith Aerospace is currently developing a high-bandwidth and long-distance telecommunication module for use in their commercial solution, which serves as an air-to-air and air-to-ground link. This innovative solution is suitable for installation on most medium and large unmanned/manned aerial systems, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. The proposed module offers high-bandwidth communication capabilities between platforms and between platforms and the ground, all without requiring satellite connectivity.
