APEX-M9401 100KM Drone Airborne Radio

The APEX-M9401 is a 100KM drone airborne radio built for long-range air-to-ground data links. Operating at 1200~1300MHz (70~6000MHz customizable) with 2T2R channels and 2*25W output power, it delivers up to 150Mbps at 10MHz and up to 250Mbps at 20MHz over a communication distance of 50~100km (Air to ground LOS) and 10~20km (Ground to ground LOS).

As a MESH self-organizing network radio, the APEX-M9401 supports no less than 32 nodes and no less than 9 hops, with adaptive BPSK/QPSK/16QAM/64QAM modulation, AES128/256 and SM4 encryption, optional frequency hopping at 1000 hops/second, and support for 1000km/h high speed moving. GPS/BD satellite positioning, 2.4G/5.8G WIFI AP and 4G/5G network extension keep the airborne node connected and located.

With a display screen and buttons, external microphone and earphone support, PTT voice intercom and WI-FI video terminal access, the APEX-M9401 is built for field use: three-proof design, IP65 protection level, 360*280*100mm, 10.5kg(w/battery), DC 22-26V power supply, <300W power consumption and 3~4hours working time.

Application Scenarios

1) Long-Range UAV Data Link

For long-range drone operations, the APEX-M9401 provides the airborne side of the link, carrying video and data over 50~100km air-to-ground line of sight at up to 250Mbps at 20MHz, with GPS/BD positioning and voice intercom keeping the aircrew and ground team in contact.

2) Multi-Node MESH Relay Operations

For missions that need relayed coverage, the APEX-M9401 joins a MESH self-organizing network of no less than 32 nodes and no less than 9 hops, with optional frequency hopping anti-interference and support for 1000km/h high speed moving.

3) Field Video & Voice Coordination

For field coordination, the APEX-M9401 accepts WI-FI video terminal access through its network port and supports external microphone and earphones with PTT voice intercom, so one device can be used by multiple people on the ground team.
