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