Aerial Communication Support

UAV-based LTE/5G, mesh, and radio coverage for emergency response, remote operations, and mission-critical telecom networks.

Communication drone applications

Communication Relay

1. Coverage Gaps in Critical Areas
Terrain obstacles, remote regions, and urban canyons create LOS/NLOS limitations that ground towers and repeaters cannot overcome.

2. Slow Deployment of Traditional Systems
Portable towers, COWs, satellite units, and field repeaters require transport, assembly, and site access—delaying communication when seconds matter.

3. Disaster-Driven Network Outages
Storm damage, fires, floods, and power loss can disable cellular towers and backhaul routes, leaving responders and field teams disconnected.

4. Bandwidth Demands at Remote or Temporary Sites
Mining, energy, construction, and border operations require uplink-heavy, high-throughput channels for video, telemetry, and IoT traffic that fixed towers cannot justify.

5. High Cost of Permanent Installations
Building full-scale towers in low-density or temporary worksites is costly; UAV-based communication nodes offer a scalable alternative.

How UAVs Strengthen Communication Operations

Immediate Deployment

UAV communication nodes launch in 3–5 minutes, creating 2–8 km LTE/5G or mesh coverage zones with uplink capacity designed for video, sensor, and command channels.

Carrier-Grade Link

Precision positioning maintains consistent RSRP/SINR, supports LOS/NLOS relay, minimizes multipath interference, and stabilizes high-throughput channels for mission users.

Flexible Multi-Protocol Payloads

Support for Band 14, CBRS, private LTE/5G, mesh, VHF/UHF, and IP relay enables the same UAV to serve telecom operators, public safety networks, and industrial sites.

VANTA BOTICS Communication UAV

Airborne LTE/5G Cells (eNodeB / gNodeB)

UAV-mounted 4G/5G nodes extend or restore service, supporting typical 20–80 Mbps sector throughput depending on spectrum, channel width, and user load.

Tactical Mesh Relay

Supports VHF/UHF repeaters, tactical mesh radios, and IP relay links for public safety, SAR teams, and field crews operating in obstructed or rugged terrain.

High-Payload

Large UAVs carry multi-band antennas, high-power radios, gNodeB racks, and redundant power systems, extending on-station time and enabling carrier-grade performance.

Aerial Communication systems deliver fast, elevated LTE/5G and mesh coverage when ground networks are unavailable. VANTA BOTICS UAV platforms restore critical links within minutes, enabling real-time coordination across remote, obstructed, or disaster-affected areas.

Standards and Integration

VANTA BOTICS aerial communication systems align with telecom and public safety frameworks:

  • Supports Band 14, CBRS, mid-band NR, and sub-6 GHz

  • Compatible with FirstNet / NPSBN (where approved)

  • Integrates with 3GPP-compliant LTE/5G cores

  • Deploys within ICS (Incident Command System) communication models

  • Provides GIS-ready coverage heatmaps / RSRP/SINR layers

  • Supports PTP timing, network slicing, and enterprise private LTE/5G setups

  • Operates under FAA Part 107 with profiles optimized for communication relay missions

Support for Critical Communication

When ground networks fail or coverage is not available, elevated communication becomes essential. VANTA BOTICS provides UAV systems that restore LTE/5G service, extend tactical mesh networks, and maintain secure command channels across complex terrain.
