Product overview
CUAV P8 Radio Telemetry provides a bidirectional data link for unmanned systems, with point-to-point, point-to-multiple and relay communication modes. Its interchangeable air and ground terminal roles let a module serve either end of the link through built-in TTL and USB ports. Configuration choices comprise a complete P8 radio set, a sky unit or a ground unit. This is telemetry hardware for integration into an unmanned system. The permitted-use commitment restricts operation to legal, compliant civilian purposes and excludes military and weapon-related uses.
The aluminum alloy enclosure has heat-dissipation grooves and measures 64.6mm × 39.7mm × 18mm. Module weight is 55g, rising to 86g with the 31g antenna. Electrical integration uses 3.3V CMOS TTL and 12–60V input, with support for 3S–12S batteries without an additional voltage-conversion BEC. Maximum over-air data rate is 345kbps; the range specification distinguishes a 40km limit from a 25km reference distance. Frequency entries differ between 840–850MHz and 840–845MHz, while antenna connector entries differ between SMA inner needle and inner hole. Sleep consumption below 1mA is marked as future.
