TFSIK01 - High-Performance Telemetry Modem

Communication & Data Links

Description

The TFSIK01 is a high-reliability wireless telemetry data link designed for UAV command and control applications. It features dual antenna diversity, frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS), adaptive time division multiplexing, and robust encryption for secure long-range communication. The modem provides plug-and-play integration with Pixhawk-standard flight controllers and ground control stations, making it ideal for aerial robotics, atmospheric monitoring, and ROS2 environments.
