Aero5 5G HEVC 4K UHD Airborne Transmitter

LTE/5G Air-to-Cellular Bidirectional Link

The Aero5 LTE/5G Cellular-Based System provides an extended bidirectional link using local cellular infrastructure as the receive system. This may be used as a stand-alone cellular based downlink or combined with the AeroLink COFDM transmitter to provide a robust hybrid solution. The Aero5 technology creates a reliable high-throughput connection between air and public cellular infrastructure. The Aero5 may be used for video, file transfer, data, push-to-talk coms, or network connectivity.

The Aero5 is a two-box solution consisting of the Aircraft Cellular Encoder/Transceiver IDU and the Aero5 Antenna Pod. The IDU chassis design is sized to fit in a vertical ARINC mounting and has all connections on the front panel enabling easy access and maintenance. The output connects via a MIL Spec cable/connector to the Meeker Mount based pod on the outside of the aircraft. The Meeker Mount Aero5 Antenna Pod is DO-160 G tested.

Airborne video surveillance plays a pivotal role in law enforcement, public safety, homeland security, and defense operations. Vislink’s airborne video downlink systems meet the challenge for top quality live video in air to ground applications under the most difficult urban, suburban, or rural environments. The AeroLink Transmission System is the next generation component of the Vislink Airborne Video Down Link System (AVDS). It features an agile IP based workflow that includes centralized management and distribution via the Quantum Receiver. The AeroLink Transmission System is a full featured 4K or 2 x 1080p 60 HEVC digital encoding video downlink solution built to address the unique requirements of aircraft downlink operations. The gains from the HEVC technology enables superior quality video with reduced bandwidth enabling larger geographical coverage. AeroLink features IP input, wayside user data and KLV telemetry information.  The video in may be HDR/UHD HD SD SDI, ASI or composite or via Transport Stream (IP). Key security features such as AES encryption and FIPS 140-2 are included with the AeroLink and are compliant with all aircraft regulations.

The Vislink Q-Link is an integral component of the Airborne Video Downlink Systems (AVDS). The Q-Link controls, aggregates, and distributes video captured from airborne platforms to multiple observers over secure IP networks, including wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, IP Satellite, and IP cellular networks. The Q-Link extends critical situational video to an unlimited number of observers.

Hosted Service for managing all devices in the field and receiving location LinkMatrix is a free-to-use management platform that operates from a browser on any device for managing your Vislink products remotely. Vislink's Quantum Receiver is now fully integrated in LinkMatrix too. This means non-technical presenters and production people in the field do not need to manage the units directly. LinkMatrix can manage individual encoders, select receivers, show video proxies of live streams, take control of encoders, enable record & go, set-up video return, analyze networks and perform other set ups, configurations and diagnostics.
