RFD900x: Because Your Drone Needs a Social Life (at 40km Range)

Let’s be honest: your current telemetry setup has the range of a budget walkie-talkie in a lead-lined basement. You’re here because you want to stop losing signal the moment your UAV flies behind a particularly dense blade of grass. The RFD900x Bundle is the gold standard for professional operators who take "long-range" literally. It is the communication link that says, "I am going over that mountain, and I will still be texting you my GPS coordinates."

Why You Want It

You are building a professional mapping rig, an industrial inspection drone, or perhaps just a very expensive hobby that requires 40km of range (we do not ask questions). This bundle isn’t just two modems; it is an "it just works" kit—unless you mess up the drivers. It is secure, it is robust, and it is significantly cheaper than buying the parts individually and crying over the shipping costs later. Plus, we are based in the UK, so you won’t be waiting for a slow boat from across the ocean.

Specs

• Frequency Range: 902 - 928 MHz (Perfect for scaring off local interference).
• Output Power: 1 Watt (+30dBm) (That is a lot of 'oomph' in a tiny box).
• Data Rates: Up to 250kbps (Slow enough to remind you of dial-up, fast enough for MavLink).
• Interface: TTL UART (The universal language of robots).
• Encryption: AES-128 (Keeping your telemetry secret, keeping it safe).
• Weight: 14.5g per modem (Light enough that your drone won't even notice).

In the Box

• 2x RFD900x Radio Modems: The brains and the brawn of your signal link.
• 1x 900MHz Quarter Wave Monopole Antenna (2.1dBi): For when you're feeling basic.
• 1x 900MHz Right Angle Quarter Wave Antenna (2.1dBi): For those tight spaces.
• 4x 900MHz Half Wave Dipole Antennas (3dBi): The "I'm serious about signal" choice.
• 1x FTDI USB Cable: For talking to your computer without screaming.
• 1x RFD900 to Pixhawk 2.1 Cable (300mm): Direct connection to your flight controller.

Compatibility

This kit plays nice with Pixhawk 2.1 (The Orange/Blue/Cube stuff), standard Pixhawks, and any Ground Control Station (GCS) that understands MavLink. If your flight controller was made in this decade, you are likely good to go.

Highlights

• Extreme Range: 40km+? Yes. We have seen it. Just don’t blame us if you fly out of battery before you fly out of signal.
• Diversity: Dual antenna ports because two ears are better than one.
• Bundle Value: Cheaper than buying individually. We did the math so you do not have to.

Notes

Technical Alert: Some newer versions of the FTDI VCP driver (looking at you, v2.12.36.1) are currently having a mid-life crisis and might not talk to the included cables. If things get weird, downgrade to v2.12.28. It is not us, it is the drivers.

Disclaimer

Check your local radio laws. We provide the hardware; you provide the legality. Don't make us come down there.
