Telem5G · 5G link for drones · 50–100 sorties flown on 5G
Telem5G adds a secure 5G/4G link to any MAVLink drone, alongside its existing 2.4 GHz radio. Control, telemetry, live video and LiDAR 3D data stream to the cloud in real time — with no manual pull and no radio network to build.
How it works
Telem5G connects to the autopilot and camera and sends video, telemetry and LiDAR 3D over an encrypted 5G/4G link to DroneAI cloud. The 2.4 GHz RC stays with the pilot as backup.
Telemetry to the flight controller, Ethernet to the camera and RC air unit, 5 V power and a SIM — that is the whole install. Works with any MAVLink autopilot (ArduPilot, PX4).
The control room watches from any location; LiDAR point clouds arrive in real time, and a second GCS can take over if needed.
The existing 2.4 GHz RC link still serves the pilot and stays as an independent backup to 5G.
Built for real operations
BVLOS routes beyond RC range; the drop watched live; one remote pilot, no chase team.
EO and thermal video to any control room or screen, 200–500 ms glass-to-glass.
LiDAR point clouds streamed to the cloud in real time — no manual pull. Live mapping and inspection as it flies.
Every drone on one map: position, battery, link status, logs and remote Mission Planner.
Two variants
One modem for most routes; two modems on two networks when the link must never drop.
Best for: BVLOS control of any MAVLink drone.
Best for: long routes and coverage gaps, where the link must not drop.
Redundant & reliable
Each layer takes over when the one before it drops.
Primary link for video, telemetry, LiDAR and commands; falls back from 5G to 4G automatically.
Two independent 5G links: if one drops, the drone flies on the second.
The pilot's existing radio stays as an independent backup; LoRa is available as an option.
Loss of every link: continue, loiter or return home — set per mission.
Who we work with
Routes planned on coverage maps, dual SIMs on long routes, live video to confirm each drop.
One plug-in module on any MAVLink autopilot — or build it in with Cube 5G.
Live 3D LiDAR data while the drone flies, so gaps are re-flown on the spot.
Proven on C-DAC private 5G at the Amlohri coal mine — drones and trucks on one network.
From every drone, on DroneAI cloud or your own servers; add on-board AI with EdgeAI 5G Lite.

Questions buyers ask
Any MAVLink drone or rover — ArduPilot or PX4. It sits beside the autopilot; nothing is removed.
Command round trip is 100–300 ms and video glass-to-glass is 200–500 ms. After a drop the link is back in under 5 seconds.
Telem5G falls back to 4G, then to the RC link. Telem5G Duo carries the link on its second modem and network. If every link is lost, the failsafe you set per mission takes over: continue, loiter or return home.
No. It uses existing public 4G/5G networks, or your private 5G.
Video, telemetry and LiDAR are encrypted and stored in DroneAI cloud in real time, or on your own server. Drones only make outbound connections.
No — the 5G modem is non-Chinese and NDAA-compliant.
