What are the application scenarios of tethered drones and what are the advantages of tether systems?
A tethered drone? "This name sounds a bit lofty, because it has very powerful functions and is widely used in military, communications, entertainment, environmental protection, and other fields. Therefore, it is also widely welcomed by users.". Today, we will tell you about the application scenarios of tethered drones, and its advantages.


What are the application scenarios for tethered drones?
1. Emergency lighting
From January 23 to February 2, 2020, tethered drones provided nighttime lighting for the construction of the shelter hospital. A hospital with a capacity of 1000 beds was constructed within 10 days. 

On February 11, 2023, Chinese lighting drones lit up the earthquake rescue scene.




2. Emergency communication for flood fighting and disaster relief.
The whole system for tethered drone will be packaged in two aviation boxes, one is the tethering box, and the other is the packaging box for the drone, which is used to store and ship unmanned aerial vehicles and related equipment. 

The system is equipped with a lightweight 4G base station, which can rapidly transmit to 100 meters in 5 minutes, and provides long-term communication support and data services such as Volte for the cultural area. The coverage can reach 4 kilometers, covering an area of 50 square kilometers, and the maximum number of users can reach 1800. Rapid deployment in the event of road damage and traffic disruption can be achieved by airdropping or carrying satellite communication stations into the disaster area.

3. The emergency drone base station for major events and safety activities, can be equipped with tethered drones and portable satellite equipment, and can also be used in conjunction with emergency communication vehicles. Using the power supply and transmission resources of the emergency communication vehicle, the antenna can be hung at a high altitude (100 meters tether cable) to increase the coverage of surrounding areas. Such as important support objects such as the forest fire prevention headquarters website. Remote network coverage can be provided as much as possible to improve the use efficiency of the emergency base station, Meet the communication support needs of natural disasters and important activities.

4. Long time fixed point monitoring and data collection for large gatherings
 
The tethered drone can carry other loads such as high-definition motion cameras, laser radar systems, and tilt cameras, and can be used for long-term fixed point monitoring of large-scale gatherings, acquiring high-precision two-dimensional data, and collecting more angled aerial image tilt data of ground objects. Can achieve 7* 24 hours of uninterrupted video monitoring

What are the advantages of tethered drone systems?
1. Convenient transportation
The tethered unmanned aerial vehicle emergency high altitude base station system consists of a liftoff platform (tethered unmanned), base station equipment, and return equipment. Ordinary small off-road vehicles can load this system. It can be quickly deployed in plain flood situations and mountain forest fire scenarios.

2. Convenient operation
Modular design, standardized communication interface, and friendly man-machine interface enable ordinary employees to take up their jobs through short training.

3. Flexible coverage
The drone's liftoff height can be flexibly adjusted within 100 meters. Field operators can flexibly adjust the altitude according to the scene to meet various emergency disaster relief needs.

4. Long stagnation time
The tethered unmanned aerial vehicle emergency high altitude base station is connected to the ground emergency communication vehicle through photoelectric composite cables, achieving uninterrupted power supply and transmission support, providing 24-hour air detention emergency communication services, and providing reliable emergency communication for disaster relief, field operations, public security and counter-terrorism, national defense and military industry.

5. Strong scalability
According to different scenarios of emergency communication, the omnidirectional antenna and directional antenna can be flexibly configured, and the communication module can also be replaced with other Huawei base station products to meet various requirements.

6. Carrying capacity
It is composed of industrial application UAVs, photoelectric composite mooring cables, and voltage lifting equipment. Compared with common consumer grade UAVs, it has strong load capacity
