Overview
About Integrated Long-Range Telemetry System.
The BotBit Integrated Long-Range Telemetry System is a complete UAV telemetry kit that pairs matched air and ground radios with antennas, mounts and integration support to give a single aircraft a reliable command-and-control and telemetry link over extended distances. Rather than sourcing a radio here and an antenna there, the operator receives a coherently engineered link tuned to the aircraft, the ground control station and the intended operating range.
In operation, the airborne radio connects to the autopilot's telemetry port and streams flight data, GPS position, battery and sensor status back to the ground station, while carrying command and mission-upload traffic in the other direction. The system uses a robust modulation scheme and directional or omnidirectional antennas selected for the mission, so the link holds up over distance and through interference. It is a bidirectional data link focused on control and telemetry integrity; where live video or multi-aircraft networking is required, it can be specified alongside or upgraded toward BotBit's mesh data-link.
The kit suits survey and mapping operators, agricultural and industrial UAV teams, research groups and integrators who need a dependable, longer-range telemetry link for a specific airframe without building the radio chain themselves. Because antenna choice, band and power are matched to the aircraft and to India's spectrum rules, the system is supplied as a configured, quote-based kit.
Key features
Why it stands out.
Robust bidirectional link carries command, mission uploads and full flight telemetry with an emphasis on control-channel integrity over distance.
Antenna and band selection tuned to the aircraft, ground station and target range, using directional or omnidirectional antennas as the mission requires.
Direct integration with common autopilot telemetry ports and ground control software, so it drops into an existing flight stack with minimal rework.
Configured to India's spectrum framework and upgradeable toward mesh networking or video links as your operation grows.

Buying guide
How to choose.
To quote an integrated telemetry system accurately, we need to know the aircraft and its flight stack. In your RFQ, tell us the airframe, the autopilot and ground control software you use, and the telemetry interface available on the aircraft. Share your typical and maximum operating range, and describe the environment you fly in, since open terrain, hills and urban clutter each call for different antennas and link margins.
Clarify what the link must carry. This system is optimised for command and telemetry; if you also need live video or want to network several aircraft together, say so, and we will advise whether to specify that alongside the kit or step up to BotBit's mesh data-link. Note any size, weight and power constraints on the airborne side, and whether you prefer directional antennas for maximum reach or omnidirectional for flexible manoeuvring.
Finally, tell us where in India you will operate and any band preference. The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are de-licensed for low-power use, while dedicated or higher-power spectrum and imported radio equipment involve WPC procedures such as Equipment Type Approval or licensing. BotBit proposes a compliant band, antenna set and power level with the quote. Send these details and we will return a configured kit specification and formal quotation.
FAQ
Common questions.
What comes in an integrated telemetry system?
You receive a matched set: an airborne radio, a ground radio, antennas suited to your range and environment, mounting hardware and integration support. Everything is selected to work together and with your aircraft, so you are not left pairing mismatched components. Exact contents are confirmed against your airframe and mission during scoping.
How is this different from the mesh data-link network?
This kit gives one aircraft a strong, longer-range command-and-telemetry link between the drone and its ground station. The mesh data-link, by contrast, networks many platforms together with self-healing multi-hop relay. If you fly a single aircraft, this system is the direct fit; for fleets or swarms, consider the mesh. The two can be paired.
Will it work with my autopilot and ground control software?
The system connects to common autopilot telemetry ports and typical ground control software. Because integrations vary by airframe and firmware, tell us your autopilot and GCS in the RFQ and we will confirm compatibility and any adapters or configuration needed before quoting.
What range does it achieve?
Range depends on the frequency band, transmit power, antenna choice and terrain, so directional antennas and clear line-of-sight extend it while clutter reduces it. We avoid quoting a fixed number without your profile. Share your aircraft, typical distance and environment and we will propose antennas and a link budget for a realistic range.
Can it carry video too, or only telemetry?
The system is optimised for reliable command and telemetry rather than high-bandwidth video. If you need a live video feed, we can specify a video link alongside it or recommend the mesh data-link, which carries video, telemetry and control together over IP. Tell us your payload needs and we will advise the right path.
Do I need WPC approval to operate it in India?
It depends on the band and power. India's 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are de-licensed for low-power use, while dedicated or higher-power spectrum and imported radio equipment involve WPC procedures such as Equipment Type Approval or licensing. We recommend a compliant configuration and outline the applicable WPC path with your quote; securing final approvals remains the operator's responsibility.
