You need a reliable drone communication link that doesn't quit when your client demands a mission in freezing rain. The RFD868x is a professional-grade long-range telemetry modem built to keep your Ground Control Station (GCS) locked in. Powered by an ARM 32-bit core and open-source SiK firmware, it delivers a massive 500kbit\/s air data rate. Say goodbye to mid-flight panic and hello to rock-solid Mavlink protocol framing and FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) reliability. With simultaneous RC PPM pass-through, this telemetry kit actually gets your data home, keeping CAA paperwork off your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnapologetic Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;40km depending on antennas and GCS setup (80km demonstrated on a weather balloon), supported by real-time automatic antenna diversity switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Processing:\u003c\/strong\u003e ARM 32-bit core pushing 500kbit\/s air data rates with fully working AES hardware-accelerated encryption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulletproof Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every single I\/O port is fully ESD protected and filtered, backed by automatic duty cycle throttling to prevent overheating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You Want This Long-Range Telemetry Modem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause dealing with signal loss mid-survey is bad for your blood pressure and worse for your margins. The RFD868x isn't just about raw power—though it has a full 1 Watt (+30dBm) of it. It’s engineered with a transmit low-pass filter, a \u0026gt;20dB low-noise amplifier (high IP3), and an RX SAW filter to punch through the noise floor.  Add in Mavlink radio status reporting (Local\/Remote RSSI and Noise) and beta support for asynchronous multipoint firmware, and you have a radio link that outsmarts the environment. Tested to survive operational temperatures from -73°C to +123°C, this modem will outlive your airframe, your client's patience, and probably you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 mm (wide) x 57 mm (long) x 12.8 mm (thick) - Including RF Shield, Heatsink, and connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 868-869 MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1W (+30dBm), controllable in 1dB steps (+\/- 1dB @=20dBm typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Data Transfer Rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4, 8, 16, 19, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 250, and 500 kbit\/sec (User selectable, 64k default)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUART Data Transfer Rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 400k, 921k baud (User selectable, 57600 default at N, 8, 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReceive Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;121 dBm at low data rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e +5 V nominal (+3.5 V min, +5.5 V max), ~800 mA peak at maximum power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x RP-SMA RF connectors (diversity switched), Logic level TTL (+3.3v) Serial, 6x GPIO (Digital, ADC, PWM capable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRF Architecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transmit low-pass filter, \u0026gt;20dB Low noise amplifier, RX SAW filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x M2.5 screws, 3 x header pin solder points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -40 to +85 deg C (Tested operational from -73 to +123 deg C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3DR \/ Hope-RF radio modules, integrated APM Planner support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use the RFD868x for both RC control and telemetry at the same time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
