Offering globally-reaching levels of connectivity thanks to the power of the Iridium satellite network, the SkyLink 7100 fits onto UAVs to enhance operations in industries such as agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, and emergency response.
The SkyLink 7100 by Blue Sky Network sits alongside the 5100 land-based unit, and the marine-suitable 6100 device, and delivers next-generation, global satellite connectivity to support autonomous communications and data monitoring beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
The compact and versatile communications terminal is powered by the Iridium Certus® 100 midband service, enabling enterprise-grade IP throughput from a constellation of 66 cross-linked satellites for truly global connectivity.
As a certified Iridium Connected® solution, SkyLink 7100 is a mid-band transceiver designed for complete operational efficiency, safety, and continuity coverage. Its slim design allows for easy integration and installation on UAVs to stream low latency data from onboard sensors, transfer photos, and utilize real-time command and control. With SkyLink 7100, achieve total connectivity for all assets, in every location, across the globe.
