Interference-Free PLC Data Transmission, Dual-Layer Flight Assurance

Wired for Reliability

The RT100 utilizes Power Line Communication (PLC) technology to transmit video and control data via the tether cable. Unlike radio signals, it is immune to electromagnetic interference.

Dual-Layer Architecture:

  • Primary Link: The tether cable ensures precise control even near high-voltage towers or in complex rescue environments.
  • Visual Positioning: When GPS fails, the onboard "Intelligent Stability" visual system maintains safe flight.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tethered lighting drone used for ? 

The tethered aerial lighting system is designed not just for rescue. It serves as a perfect mobile light tower replacement for night time construction siteshighway maintenance, and large-area outdoor events, providing continuous aerial illumination.

How long can the RT100 fly continuously ? 

The RT100 is a tethered drone powered by a ground station, allowing for unlimited flight time. It can operate 24/7 as long as the ground station has power (mains or generator).

What happens if the ground power is suddenly cut off??

Safety is our priority. The RT100 tether system has a built-in backup battery that instantly takes over, allowing the drone to land safely. Additionally, a parachute system will deploy automatically if a critical failure is detected.

Does RT100 require a professional drone pilot?

No, a professional drone pilot is not required.

Unlike traditional free-flying UAVs, the RT100 is a tethered system designed for stability and simplicity.All operations are managed through an intuitive intelligent ground station interface. You can control both the tether system and drone directly via the touch screen. This eliminates the need for a dedicated pilot and significantly reduces training costs.

What power sources can I use with the tether ground station ?

The system is very flexible. It supports 90-264V AC input, meaning you can power it from a standard wall outlet, generator, portable power station, or EVs.

How large is the illuminated area ?

At an operational height of 30 meters, it effectively illuminates over 8,000 ㎡ with high brightness. The maximum illumination area can reach 13,000 ㎡ at 50 meters height.

What is the maximum flight height ?

The tether cable length allows for a maximum flight altitude of 50 meters, which is the optimal height for wide-area floodlighting

What are the advantages of the RT100 over a traditional mobile light tower?

The RT100 works as a construction site lighting drone. significantly outperforms traditional light towers in mobility and coverage. While standard light towers are restricted to ~10m height and require towing vehicles and flat ground, the RT100 flies up to 50m, illuminating over 13,000 m² to minimize shadows. Its backpack-portable design allows for rapid deployment in rugged terrain, rubble, or disaster zones where heavy trailers simply cannot reach it. It is the best mobile light tower alternative,

Can I see what the drone sees ?

Yes. The drone has a built-in camera. Video is transmitted down the tether to the ground station and can be output to a larger command screen via an HDMI port.

How does PLC over the tether help with interference resistance ?

RT100 uses PLC (Power Line Communication) to transmit drone control and video data through the tether cable, reducing dependence on wireless transmission and improving reliability in radio‑interference environments.
