RADBEAM develops communication technologies that help UAV platforms maintain reliable C2, video, and data links at range, under interference, and across complex operational environments.
RADBEAM solutions are designed for applications in public safety / DFR, Defense and industrial to extend operational range, improve command-and-control link stability, and support reliable real-time video backhaul, especially in demanding RF environments where standard connectivity begins to degrade.
RADBEAM builds on more than 25 years of wireless communications experience from RADWIN, a global provider of mission-critical broadband wireless systems. We apply that field-proven RF, networking, and deployment expertise to the specific connectivity challenges of operational UAV missions.
AirPath - Extended Mission Range. Same Drone.
The Product
AirPath is a ground-side smart beamforming antenna system designed to extend UAV operational range without modification to the airframe or onboard communications system. The unit mounts on a standard pole and connects to your existing ground station via RF cables, replacing the passive omni antenna.
How it Works
Instead of a passive omni antenna dispersing RF energy across 360°, AirPath uses an electronically steered, high-gain phased array that automatically tracks the drone in real time using GPS coordinates, across a full 360° azimuth.
Up to 4x extended range
Focused beamforming delivers significantly greater operational reach versus standard omni antennas.
No airframe modification
AirPath connects natively to existing communications systems without any modification to the airframe.
Reliable HD ▶ video throughout the mission
Sustained throughput preserves clear live video across the full mission path.
Tested successfully in DFR deployments
Extending DFR range and improving live video feedback
Integration Options
Tested and deployed in active U.S. DFR operations
Integrate AirPath as a native RF upgrade to your ground station, replacing passive antennas with no change to your existing communication system
Deploy AirPath as a ground-side RF upgrade for existing UAV systems, including DJI ground stations. No airframe modification. No added operational complexity
AirPath by RADBEAM
Discover how AirBeam extends mission-critical drone connectivity with advanced 360° beamforming. See how focused RF energy increases range, stabilizes real-time video, minimizes interference, and delivers reliable communications for public safety, DFR, and critical infrastructure.
DFR & Drone-in-a-Box
More coverage per deployment site, fewer sites overall. AirPath extends the operational radius of each ground station, reducing infrastructure cost while maintaining reliable C2 and live video.
Government & Defense
Reliable C2 and ISR data links in contested and RF-degraded environments. AirPath maintains link integrity at extended range where standard omnidirectional antennas begin to fail.
Industrial Inspection
Energy, mining, and infrastructure operators cover the full inspection zone from a single ground point, without repositioning equipment or compromising video quality at distance
Security & Surveillance
Persistent UAV monitoring at operational distances, with stable video backhaul across the full coverage area. AirPath keeps the link reliable as the drone reaches the edges of its patrol zone.
