Product overview
The CroSkylink C32S-20W is a vehicle wireless IP mesh radio intended for applications including UAV relay and command-and-control links. Its SDR architecture combines Zynq70XX and AD936X hardware with a distributed network in which nodes can join or leave dynamically. The unit measures 269x180x64mm and weighs approximately 3.30kg, providing concrete space and mass requirements for integration. Two Ethernet ports and three serial interfaces connect external equipment, with customizable TTL, RS232, RS422 and RS485 options. IP voice conferencing and PTT intercom are supported, and a PTT handset is included.
The radio delivers 43dBm transmit power, specified as 20W through 2x10W, with adjustment in 1dBm steps and power consumption of 20~100W. Its product frequency ranges are 500~680MHz and 1300~1500MHz, adjustable in 1MHz steps, with customization across 70~6000MHz. Peak data rate is 220+ Mbps at 40MHz bandwidth; the 300+ km communication range requires line of sight and depends on the environment. Standard operating temperature is -20~+65℃, with -40~+65℃ customizable. Larger 128- and 256-node networks, MIMO, adaptive frequency selection and wideband frequency hopping are optional configurations.
