LT-SIK868 Drone Telemetry Module

The LT-SIK868 is a state-of-the-art, indigenously developed, SiK-based UAV telemetry module. It is a small and lightweight radio that typically allows ranges significantly better than 5+ kilometers with a basic whip antenna kit. This radio is plug-and-play with all Pixhawk Standard and other flight controllers, providing the easiest way to set up a telemetry connection between the drone and a ground control station. It is compatible with Mission Planner, Ardupilot, QGroundControl, and PX4 Autopilot. It incorporates dual-antenna diversity guaranteeing reliable performance in challenging environments. It is based on the Si4463 EZRadioPRO™ transceiver.
