Building an Air-Space Information Bridge to Empower Emergency Response and Communication Coverage
Target Customers
· Core Clients: Major mobile network operators such as China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom.
· Typical End Users:
o Emergency response agencies (fire departments, police, armed police units)
o Large-scale event organizers (concerts, sports events)
o Mining and energy enterprises
o Border patrol and scientific exploration teams
Pain Points
Signal “Islands” in Critical Scenarios:
· Communication Loss in Emergencies: Natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, wildfires, etc.) or accident sites often destroy ground-based telecom infrastructure, leading to large-scale communication blackouts, severely impacting rescue coordination and disaster reporting.
· Network Congestion at Large Events: In densely populated areas during concerts or sports events, existing base stations reach capacity, resulting in poor user experience (no signal, dropped calls, slow data).
· Signal Blind Spots in Remote Areas: In regions like deserts, mines, forests, mountains, or offshore islands where no public network exists, conventional communication tools fail, making operations, monitoring, and exploration extremely difficult.
· Signal Obstruction in Complex Terrain: Mountains, urban canyons, or skyscraper clusters obstruct signals, limiting wide-area coverage.
Limitations of Traditional Solutions:
· Slow Deployment & High Costs: Emergency communication vehicles or temporary base stations rely on road access and are time-consuming to deploy; fixed base stations in remote areas are costly and time-intensive.
· Limited Coverage: Ground-based stations are restricted by height and terrain, limiting signal penetration and coverage range.
· Short Endurance: Battery-powered drones typically last <1 hour, insufficient for continuous relay operations.
· Poor Flexibility: Fixed installations or large vehicles cannot rapidly adapt to changing terrain or emergency needs.
Our Solution
Deploying the Airfly Tethered Drone Relay Platform System
· System Composition:
o High-performance drone
o High-power ground-based tethered power box
o Lightweight, highly integrated airborne relay module
· Breakthrough Technologies:
o Tethered Continuous Power Supply:
Ground power unit delivers 20–30 kW adjustable power via specialized cables (≥220m), enabling 24+ hours of continuous flight, eliminating endurance constraints.
o High-Speed Optical Data Return:
Data from onboard relay systems is transmitted stably via optical fiber embedded in the tether cable.
o Heavy Payload Capability:
Net payload capacity up to 20kg, compatible with multiple relay devices:
§ 5G base stations (for all three major operators)
§ Military HF/VHF radios
§ Private mesh radios
§ Police trunking systems (TeL)
§ Civilian Mesh networks
§ Traditional walkie-talkie repeaters
o Outstanding Flight Performance:
§ Dual RTK Precision Positioning: Centimeter-level precision (1cm+1ppm horizontal, 1.5cm+1ppm vertical) ensures stable relay platform operation.
§ Strong Wind Resistance: Withstands wind speeds up to Level 6 (13.8 m/s), ensuring operation in harsh weather.
· Core Values:
o Rapid Response: Deployed and airborne within 10 minutes (air-transportable via vehicle or helicopter).
o Wide-Area Coverage:
Up to 220m height, overcoming terrain barriers, with a single drone covering a radius of 10–20 km.
o High-Capacity Communication Support:
Supports over 1,500 simultaneous voice connections during emergencies or large events.
o Flexible Networking:
Quickly establishes extended public/private/hybrid communication networks for data, voice, and video.
o Adaptability to Complex Environments:
Operates in roadless, powerless, and topographically complex zones, offering a stable airborne relay point.
Measurable Outcomes
· Reestablishing the “Lifeline of Information”:
In disaster zones, the drone rapidly ascends to restore critical communication (public/private), enabling command transmission and real-time disaster updates — buying time for life-saving decisions.
· Safeguarding Major Events:
At concerts or sports venues, it functions as an aerial base station, offloading traffic and improving signal quality for tens of thousands of users.
· Illuminating “Information Deserts”:
In deserts, mines, remote regions, or islands, it enables temporary network setup, ensuring reliable communication for workers, scientists, or border patrols.
· Establishing a “3D Surveillance Network”:
In mountainous or urban environments, the drone functions as a relay node, supporting 360° wireless surveillance and command dispatch.
· Proven Performance:
Through collaborations with top telecom providers and successful deployment in real-world scenarios, the system has demonstrated unmatched endurance, rapid deployment, stability, and versatility — meeting stringent requirements of emergency and special communication coverage.
· Industry Benchmark:
Sets a new standard for mobile, resilient, and high-performance airborne communication relay platforms — paving the way for next-generation emergency telecom solutions.
