THE COMMUNICATIONS LAYER
COSMOS connects operator stations, deployed nests and unmanned platforms through a unified, managed network. Command and control, video, telemetry, mission data and recordings travel across satellite, cellular, fiber and IP-based RF links.
Built into every SKYNEST nest, the communications layer combines dual-layer encryption, mutual authentication and automatic link failover. COSMOS G provides the embedded ground-side connection, COSMOS TITAN supports operators in the field or control room, and COSMOS AIR extends managed connectivity to the airborne platform.
Two encryption layers protect control, video and telemetry end to end, with mutual authentication.
Two encryption layers protect command and control, video and telemetry from end to end. Mutual authentication verifies both ends of a connection, securing the link between the operator and the remote platform.
Mutual authentication, short-lived credentials and network separation support a Zero Trust approach.
Mutual authentication, short-lived credentials and architecturally separated networks support a Zero Trust approach. A tamper-evident audit trail provides traceability while network separation helps keep customer data private.
Integrate analog and HDMI video and CRSF radios, including Crossfire and ELRS, into one managed network.
Connect direct analog and HDMI video sources and CRSF radios, including Crossfire and ELRS. Existing control, video and telemetry interfaces are brought into the same managed communications environment.
Connect distributed platforms on one flat network and manage them from a single console.
The Virtual Switch connects distributed platforms on one flat network. Operators can manage the fleet from one console, bringing geographically separated systems into a shared network environment.
Route traffic over the best available connection, with automatic switching between links.
Traffic is routed over the best available connection, packet by packet. Automatic switching between links helps maintain operational continuity for critical control, video and telemetry streams.
Connect platforms across satellite, LTE/5G, fiber, Ethernet/IP and IP-based SDR radio links.
Support for satellite, LTE and 5G, fiber, Ethernet/IP and IP-based SDR radio links brings different platforms and equipment manufacturers into one network. Control, video, telemetry, mission data and recordings share a unified communications layer.
