DTC BluSDR-6 – Ultra-compact SDR Module for Reliable Short-Range Communication
The DTC BluSDR-6 is an extremely lightweight and powerful Software-Defined Radio module, specifically designed for applications with limited space, weight, and power requirements. Weighing only approx. 26 g and featuring a very compact design, the module is ideal for drones, robotics, UGVs, and other mobile systems.
Despite its small size, the BluSDR-6 offers two COFDM transceivers with up to 200 mW output power per channel, enabling stable data and video connections over several kilometers. The integrated MeshUltra-X™ network protocol supports up to 144 nodes and ensures a robust, self-healing radio network. Optionally available AES-128/256 encryption ensures high data security.
Two USB interfaces and an integrated 128 GB storage offer flexible connectivity and application options – such as for cameras, sensors, or network adapters. The reverse-polarity protected 6–18 V power supply and low power consumption of only 3–4 W make the module particularly efficient and ideal for battery-powered systems.
The BluSDR-6 combines modern SDR technology, high reliability, and an ultra-compact design – the perfect solution for demanding communication tasks in mobile and unmanned platforms.
