Product overview
The CroSkylink C32S-8W is a vehicle wireless IP Mesh radio suited to applications including UAV relay and command-and-control links. Its Zynq70XX + AD936X SDR hardware supports a distributed network without a central node, allowing nodes to join or leave dynamically. Available arrangements include mesh, chain, point-to-point and multipoint networks. A single frequency supports up to 64 nodes, with optional 128-node and 256-node configurations. The radio measures 235x150x60mm and weighs approximately 2.45kg, defining its installation space and mass requirements.
Two Ethernet interfaces and three serial interfaces provide integration connections, with TTL, RS232, RS422 and RS485 customization available. Transparent IP transport covers Ethernet and serial connections. IP voice conferencing and PTT intercom are supported, and a PTT handset is included. Transmit power is 39dBm, expressed as 8W split into 2x4W, with adjustment in 1dBm steps; power consumption is 8~40W. Standard operation spans -20~+65°C, with -40~+65°C customizable. The separate extended-temperature specification excludes the battery and allows a customizable low-temperature battery.
Line-of-sight communication extends up to 180+ km depending on the environment. Average single-hop delay is approximately 7ms, with more than 10 hops supported. Optional transmission configurations specify diversity and MIMO rates by bandwidth, reaching 220+Mbps at 40MHz in MIMO mode. Adaptive frequency selection and wideband frequency hopping are optional. Browser controls support network-wide configuration, routing and status displays, multi-channel camera video management, offline mapping and fault alerts. Management interfaces also include Windows, Linux and Android applications, while frequency, power, size, interfaces, protocol and management software are customizable.
