DTC
BluSDR Modules
IP-Mesh radio technology for unmanned systems
Highly secure communication solutions
for professional drone and robot systems
DTC develops high-performance communication solutions for professional drones and robot systems, enabling secure, stable, and low-latency transmission of control, telemetry, and video. The BluSDR modules form the core: The BluSDR-6 is a compact SDR system with encrypted signal forwarding and up to 400 mW output power, making it ideal for lightweight UAV, UGV, and other mobile robotics platforms. The BluSDR-30 complements this as a hardened dual-MIMO module with 2 W power and a reliable range of up to 40 kilometers – even in heavily frequented frequency ranges or environments in which autonomous ground and air systems are operated in parallel.
For high-quality real-time image transmission, DTC relies on COFDM-based video technology, which delivers stable and low-latency live images even without a direct line of sight – both for drones and for robotic systems operating in urban, industrial, or tactical environments. In addition, COFDM mesh networks create flexible, self-healing IP structures that transport voice, data, and video in parallel and adapt dynamically to changing operating conditions. Modern video encoding methods also ensure efficient HD and UHD transmission with optimal bandwidth utilization and end-to-end data security.
Through the combination of SDR radio technology, COFDM networks, and advanced video encoding, DTC offers a comprehensive, globally reliable communication solution for critical applications – both in the air and on the ground – thereby ensuring high-performance networking of drones and robot systems.

Product examples
The BluSDR-6 module from DTC is an extremely compact SDR radio transceiver that was specially developed for flying drones as well as for small and medium-sized robot systems. With a weight of only 62 g, the module is particularly light. It offers all the functions of a classic IP-Mesh radio solution and enables the secure transmission of voice, data, and video – even in complex environments in which conventional radio technologies reach their limits. In addition, the module extends the range of the natural mesh network, as it functions as a relay at altitude, ensuring the connection between all ground stations and radios.
- Secure communication through modern AES encryption (up to AES-256) for high data and access security.
- Extremely compact and lightweight, perfect for small to medium-sized UAVs and robot systems.
- SDR-based architecture, flexibly configurable and future-proof for different application profiles.
- Robust IP-Mesh radio technology for stable voice, data, and video transmission in demanding environments.
- High radio performance with up to 400 mW output power for reliable range and strong link stability.
- Easy integration thanks to versatile interfaces (Ethernet, USB, serial) and protocols such as SBUS – ideal for control, telemetry, and sensor technology.
- Efficient network expansion, as drones or robots as mobile relay nodes significantly increase the mesh coverage.
The BluSDR-30 module from DTC is a compact and robust SDR radio that was specially developed for flying drones as well as medium-sized to large robot systems. Despite its resistant construction, the weight remains comparatively low at 430 g. The module offers all the functions of a classic IP-Mesh radio solution and, thanks to a transmission power of 2 watts, enables the secure transmission of voice, data, and video over several dozen kilometers (maximum approx. 40 km). In addition, the module extends the natural coverage of the mesh network, as it can function as a high-performance relay in the air, ensuring stable connections between all ground stations.
High-performance 2-watt SDR radio platform for stable connections over long distances.
Extended range up to approximately 40 km, ideal for BVLOS missions and large-scale application areas.
