Description
MPN: RFD900-Videolink
Manufacturer: RFDesign
The RFD900 VideoLink (MPN: RFD900-Videolink) is a long-range video and telemetry modem designed for professional UAV, robotics, and remote surveillance applications. Combining RFDesign’s proven long-range telemetry platform with low-latency video transmission, VideoLink delivers reliable situational awareness well beyond traditional Wi-Fi systems.
Tested in demanding field conditions, the system supports video and telemetry transmission at ranges exceeding 5 km (line-of-sight, antenna and configuration dependent). Built for integration into Cube-based and MAVLink-compatible platforms, VideoLink provides a rugged, compact, and deployment-ready solution.
