Elsight Ltd. has unveiled a worldwide version of its Halo drone communications system which will allow operators to fly anywhere in the world without the need for equipment changes to accommodate different cellular systems. Elsight also gives drone operators the option of using a universal SIM card rather than country-specific SIM cards. The development would potentially enable Australian drone companies to operate in Asia, Europe or the United States and fly drones in these jurisdictions using the same modems. The worldwide application of the latest Halo modem and the increased take-up of universal SIM cards is expected to benefit Elsight's supply chains and reduce production costs. Elsight's Halo creates a single bonded tunnel of the available multi-links from LTE, 5G, SatCom and RF links to assure continuous uptime and connection between a drone (UAV or UAS) and the ground control stations.

In stationary, portable, or mobile positions, the Halo can hold up to 4LTE/5G modems and optionally RF and SAT links via an ETH/UART port. This single bonded pipeline magnifies the connection's reliability, while improving data transmission. Elsight has also reported a significant increase in Halo orders.
