Aerial drones are also known as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). Other terms emphasize the absence of humans on board: UAV (for “unmanned aerial vehicle”) or UAS (for “unmanned aircraft system”).

They are piloted remotely from a control station.

In a drone swarm, the control station is connected to two drones, which then relay commands via WiFi mesh. The drones also exchange their location and other safety messages to avoid colliding.

Mesh technology is particularly well-suited to this type of network, which requires no ground infrastructure (no AP on the ground), is robust and can accommodate a large number of drones in the network.

ACKSYS products are also used in terrestrial drones for fire-fighting operations, and in marine drones for surveillance and observation operations.

Logiciel d'administration WaveManager

WaveManager is a centralized tool that simplifies the supervision of an infrastructure using ACKSYS products, making the network administrator’s job easier.

It lets you configure, monitor, troubleshoot and manage network deployments of ACKSYS equipment, either locally or remotely.

Centralized administration
Simplified deployment and configuration
Single or grouped parameterization and updates
Complete equipment monitoring: geolocation, tracing, alarms, graphical representations
Security: user management, passwords, HTTPS certificates
Preventive maintenance: real-time monitoring and recording of indicators (signal level and quality, roaming thresholds, channel congestion, throughput, latency, etc.) to anticipate and prevent unexpected breakdowns
