Midband Data Link
and GPS System

SKYTRAC’s DLS-100 is an Iridium Certus® midband transceiver enabling real-time command and control, telemetry streaming, and photo transfer from unmanned aviation systems.

The ruggedized and IP67 compliant modem enables 22 Kbps uplink and 88 Kbps downlink speeds. Designed for use with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), the cost-effective Iridium Certus modem allows for pole-to-pole connectivity around the globe with 99.9% reliability and stunningly low latency.

The modem is compatible with commercial and DoD SIM cards and also features remote management functionality through web or software API as needed.

DLS-100 Features

The cutting-edge DLS-100 data link transceiver enables real-time command and control, telemetry streaming, real-time flight data (including payload health monitoring), imagery, data transfer and photo transfer capabilities from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

  • Fast, Low-Maintenance Installation
  • Five minutes from out-of-the-box to on-air. A Data Adapter is included in the Install Kit to breakout the DB-25 Connector (into RJ45 Ethernet, DB-9 Serial, and power) for easy setup and maintenance

  • Small Form-Factor
  • General purpose, small form-factor terminal, and antenna enable flexible integration for on-the-move (OTM) and stationary data communications in demanding environments

  • Rugged Hardware
  • Anodized aluminum chassis for performance in demanding physical and EMI environments

  • Thoughtful Design
  • Features DB-25, TNC, and SMA connectors, multiple GPIO pins, an external ON/OFF, IP67-rated enclosure and connectors, and wide voltage input (10 – 32 VDC) supporting diverse platform installations

  • Industry Standard COTS Connectors
  • IP67-rated enclosure and connectors – no military-style, specialized, expensive connectors and cables required

  • Serial Interface
  • RS-232 serial interface enabling “drop-in” replacement for narrowband serial-based equipment utilizing AT commands (coming soon)

  • Supports Popular Applications
  • Provides access to popular end-to-end encrypted messaging and voice apps (e.g., Signal and WhatsApp) for protected and secure communications and Command and Control (C2)

  • Web-Based Management
  • Intuitive web browser-based management GUI is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, and Safari on multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android)

  • Interface Modes
  • Software API for customized integration and control available and alternate AT-Command style interface mode enables fast integration into systems with legacy serial-based equipment (coming soon)

  • Individual User Profiles
  • Separate Admin and User profiles with unique usernames/passwords to support security requirements
