THE MOST RELIABLE SATCOM SOLUTION FOR UAV
Honeywell VersaWave: Redefining Connectivity for UAVs and Advanced Air Mobility Introduction
In today’s fast-evolving aerospace landscape, connectivity is no longer a luxury—it’s a mission-critical capability. Honeywell’s VersaWave solution is setting a new benchmark for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) communications, enabling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced air mobility (AAM) platforms to operate with unprecedented flexibility and reliability.
The VersaWave system is the smallest
The VersaWave system is the smallest, lightest satellite communications system of its capability ever produced, which makes it ideal for small drone applications where size and weight are always at a premium. The system consists of a SATCOM terminal that weighs just 2.2 pounds – 30% less than the next-smallest system on the market, taking up about as much space as a few stacked smartphones, and utilizing less power than other comparable SATCOM systems.
Reduced size and weight give small UAVs the same capabilities as much larger aircraft.
Leave it to Honeywell – the global leader in connected aircraft solutions – to develop the first satellite communications system to meet the specific needs of small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators. VersaWave is the world’s lightest and most compact satellite communication system. But don’t let its size and weight fool you. VersaWave is packed with all the high-speed broadband capabilities you need to accomplish your mission anywhere in the world.
You ask, we answer
It combines satellite and 5G connectivity in a single lightweight module, ensuring global BVLOS communication for UAVs and AAM.
