Air-ground data link for UAV and UGV platforms.
An air-ground data link has to do more than move packets from one side to the other. It has to fit the platform, support the right interfaces, and give the operator a usable connection back to the vehicle. CY-2 is designed for that practical air-ground role.
Where this use case fits
Where it fits.
This guide fits teams working on platforms where one side of the system rides on the vehicle and the other stays with the operator. That can include UAVs, UGVs, mobile robots, and embedded payload systems that need video, telemetry, serial transport, and service access through one defined link.
What matters in this kind of deployment is clarity. The team needs a vehicle-side installation that maps to the payload stack and a ground-side unit that supports setup, monitoring, and operator access without extra link complexity.
Typical air-ground setup
Typical architecture.
Platform-side unit
Installed with cameras, telemetry devices, payload controllers, and onboard compute.
Ground-side unit
Connected to the operator display, laptop, or control station for access and monitoring.
Shared data path
Video, telemetry, serial data, and selective IP services move through the same air-ground pair.
Interfaces in an air-ground link
Supported interfaces.
Air-ground platforms rarely run on one interface alone. CY-2 is built so Ethernet, UART, and USB devices can all sit naturally inside the same deployment.
- Ethernet for IP devices and cameras
- UART for telemetry and serial controllers
- USB for host-side or payload-side workflows
- Web UI for setup and link visibility
Integration examples
Integration examples.
UAV carrying video, telemetry, and payload traffic back to the operator.
UGV with diagnostics, serial devices, and service-side access on one link.
Robot platform where the operator needs both live status and access to onboard systems.
Why CY-2 for air-ground deployments
Why CY-2.
CY-2 fits teams that want a defined air-ground architecture instead of a stack of loosely connected radios and adapters. That makes deployment and troubleshooting easier to reason about.
- Clear vehicle-side and ground-side architecture
- Supports mixed traffic instead of a single narrow path
- Works with common embedded interfaces
- Useful during setup, commissioning, and field use
FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
What makes CY-2 an air-ground data link?
It uses a vehicle-side unit and a ground-side unit to carry video, telemetry, serial data, and IP traffic between the platform and the operator side.
Is this only relevant to aerial platforms?
No. The same air-ground style deployment logic can apply to UGVs, mobile robots, and other operator-linked embedded systems.
