ZeroPhase · The link between intent and outcome
Sovereign, adaptive datalink technology for systems where staying connected
is non-negotiable.
01 · The challenge
An airborne link has to cover distance while the platform moves, the terrain changes, the spectrum fills up, and every gram and watt stays accounted for. Improving one variable often puts pressure on another.
The conditions never stay constant.
Every kilometre changes the link budget. Antenna orientation, altitude and weather all shape what’s left at the receiver.
Aircraft attitude, speed and multipath continuously reshape the connection. The modem has to keep up, without losing a bit, while the mission continues.
Ridges, buildings and low-altitude flight can turn a stable link into a non-line-of-sight problem within seconds.
The available spectrum can change without warning. Communication and navigation both have to hold as conditions degrade.
Aether 1 is built around the whole system.
Rather than treating range, resilience, relay and integration as separate problems, Aether 1 brings them together in one software-defined communications architecture.
Explore Aether 1The answer — a datalink, redefined.
A software-defined comms system, engineered around the things the rest of the field still treats as trade-offs.
Two independent RF chains keep the link alive under jamming. When interference takes GNSS with it, onboard Time-of-Flight ranging holds position — no satellites required.
The Aether 1 relay system builds up a seamless, full-strength connection that handles high-definition video flawlessly, completely eliminating traditional relay bottlenecks.
Adaptive modulation and coherent receiver design, combined with advanced antenna processing, let Aether 1 extract every dB the link budget allows — reaching well beyond what a standard ISM datalink can achieve.
A single Ethernet port is the only integration point. Aether 1 operates as a transparent link out of the box — zero changes to your existing stack. When RF conditions demand it, a high robustness mode delivers resilience over standard IP. No vendor bus, no driver stack, no proprietary middleware.
The Aether 1 air unit carries the same software, the same modem, and the same dual-link architecture as the ground unit — in a form factor 20% smaller than a credit card for perfect integration into UAVs from sub-2 kg quadrotors to long-endurance fixed-wing platforms.
The ground station closes the link from the operator's side — the same software-defined radio and dual-link resilience as the air unit, in a rugged enclosure made to deploy on a mast, a vehicle, or a tripod. A single Ethernet port hands clean IP straight to your GCS.
