Teltech’s tethered drone has transformed disaster relief providing:

  • Rapid deployment – reliable fly by fiber flight control – up to
    500’ (150m) above ground
  • Multiple payload options (e.g. eFemto, small cell, surveillance
    gear) and 22+ pounds of payload capacity
  • Designed to support most telecommunications devices
  • Onboard power/ fiber optic connectivity through the tether for
    drone and payload
  • Simple and safe purpose-built flight management system
  • Multiple fibers for unlimited payload connectivity
  • Virtually indefinite operation*

* We recommend periodic ground inspections during extended flight times.

The XTD-120 Drone is specially designed for tethered drone operation. The main design objectives were for extended flight time, easy setup and transportation, and a large operational weight range. The XTD-120 Drone is purpose-driven-designed to hold its position in the air. It is optimized for automatic flight and control via the GCS, rather than manual flight. Some of the main features of the XTD-120 drone design are:

  • Redundant IMU/compass sensors for flight safety
  • Folding arm joints and tool-less quick release landing gear for quick setup
  • Integrated tether power system components
  • Internal battery compartment
  • Redundant dual GPS antennas for flight safety
  • Fiber optic “Fly-By-Wire” link for telemetry and control
  • Tablet-based ground controller has an intuitive
    interface so requires minimal training
  • Custom made case for safe and easy transport
