FLIGHT INSIGHT

EchoTech™ Real-Time Tracking

Safer Skies

We have now launched our prototype for real-time flight tracking called EchoTech™ which will allow our clients to proactively manage flight plans and bridge the gap for Autonomous and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights. The technology autonomously scales network connectivity as required through the use of an IP based mesh protocol.

No network planning or network infrastructure is required to enable communications, and networks can be built and optimized based on data rate, reliability, bandwidth or cost. In the Flight Insight Ecosystem, this technology will enable continuous device to cloud connections to inform the Flight Insight server architecture of the precise location and state of the Drone.

RPAS/UAS Schedule and Flight Tracking

The EchoTech™ wireless technology enables Drone to Drone communications and Drone to operator communications. In this way, a new level of intelligence can be introduced into Drone flight operations with Drones and operators enabling awareness of their environments, even in locations or times when cellular communications can be disrupted.

This new level of intelligence and the applications by the Flight Insight Platform, will enable safer skies, reduce aerial hazards, mitigate organizational reputation exposure and improve response time to adverse flight events.
