Scaling the Skies: How DroneUp Achieves Mission-Critical Connectivity Across 7 States

When DroneUp needed a connectivity solution to enable their drone deliveries, they turned to Elsight.

Elsight’s Halo provided the necessary 99.9999% uptime, enabling DroneUp to achieve the levels of safety and reliability required for BVLOS drone delivery.

Secure. Bonded. Unstoppable.

In the world of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), “good” connectivity isn’t enough. To scale from local pilots to a nationwide fleet, DroneUp required a communication backbone that could handle the most challenging RF environments without the cost of redundant relay drones.

Elsight Halo: The Communication Core

99.9999% Uptime: Industry-leading reliability for mission-critical delivery and tactical operations.
Bonded Comms: Aggregates up to 4 SIMs for zero-fail redundancy.
Tactical Security: Secure data sequencing over public carrier networks.
Low SWaP Profile: Optimized size, weight, and power for seamless UAS integration.
BVLOS Ready: Reliable Command & Control (C2) even behind trees and obstacles.
RF Analytics: Built-in environment recording for pre-mission analysis.

“The game changer for Halo is that it’s not only providing reliable connectivity, but secure connectivity. The fact that it’s bonded together and sequenced appropriately means I can operate my drones without any type of public connectivity.” – John Vernon, CTO, DroneUp
