# Radios
Reliable wireless communication is a critical component of UAV system performance. The DroneCore Suite is designed to interface with professional-grade radio systems that support long-range, high-throughput, and secure data transmission. These links handle multiple data streams, including real-time video, telemetry, command and control (C2), and multi-node mesh networking.
The listed radio systems are fully compatible with the platform and have been validated through integration in operational UAV deployments. They can be used both in custom-built configurations and as part of complete Airvolute UAV systems. The selection represents a set of datalink technologies that meet established requirements for reliability, bandwidth, and operational robustness.

## Use cases
Once a radio link is established, the DroneCore Suite acts as a transparent IP network node. This\
opens up a wide range of connected capabilities:
* **Ground control stations** - QGroundControl, Mission Planner, or custom GCS software over MAVLink/UDP
* **Live video streaming** - HD or 4K streams from gimbals and cameras via RTSP forwarded over the datalink
* **Payload control** - gimbal commands, sensor triggering, and payload telemetry tunnelled over the same link
* **Remote SSH/diagnostics** - direct shell access to the Companion Computer for in-field debugging
* **Multi-vehicle coordination** - with mesh radios (DoodleLabs or Silvus), multiple UAVs and ground operators share one network
* **Sensor data offload** - LiDAR point clouds, thermal data, or inspection imagery streamed in near-real-time to a ground station
The key requirement for any of the above is that the radio link presents a standard IP interface to\
the DroneCore system. All three supported radio families satisfy this, and their Ethernet interfaces connect directly to the onboard network switch without additional hardware.
