We have now productized our UGV platform, which until now has primarily been used for testing. Very robust, simple, lightweight, and cost-effective — built to do exactly what it is supposed to do.

The first hardware version 0.4.1 boards have come off the assembly line. Several optimizations have been made, but the most interesting improvement for the end user is the addition of four I/O ports.

Next one: Electric Wings UAS presented its drone systems at the Daimex Baltic 2026 exhibition in Lithuania, with Batcomms providing the command-and-control communication link.

On the field. Somewhere in Ukraine.

Initially, we used DJI Mavic drones to carry our repeater. But man… why rely on a separate drone when you can build your own with a custom communications link? So we integrated a data output into the repeater. The solution for repeater drone builders.

Leave this logo and name in your memory: Valkron OÜ. This drone is large and, of course, operates using our communications.

It was a bit windy, but at least it’s sunny. The data connection works. ~76 km.

The repeater of the new version of the Batcomms communication solution includes a charger that also allows the use of solar panels. In a stationary installation, this ensures uninterrupted power supply.

Today’s −15 °C weather felt as if it was made specifically for testing. The 40 km went easily; based on the RSSI readings, it should be possible to reach over 200 km (100 + 100 km). In practice, the Earth’s curvature will become the limiting factor.The next test will be 40 + 40 km.

Version 0.4 is assembled panel by panel. As you can see, 2W has been achieved. The updated enclosure is slightly smaller and more water-resistant. In addition, AES-128 encryption is enabled by default.
