Connectivity · Link Resilience
Three links, one module — 2.4 GHz, 5G and Starlink with automatic failover. When one link drops, the next keeps the mission alive.
Overview
Cube 5G is the connectivity-first member of the family — an integrated mission platform built so the link is never the weak point. It layers three paths: a low-latency 2.4 GHz RF link for line-of-sight, NR 5G for cellular range, and Starlink for anywhere else. When one drops, the next takes over automatically, orchestrated from the cloud.
The result is genuine beyond-line-of-sight capability for long-range, denied and maritime missions, without the operator ever babysitting the connection. A Cube-class flight controller, SIM and gimbal camera round out the platform.
For missions that demand total redundancy, Cube 5G SL carries Starlink integrated on the airframe itself.
Link Resilience
Layered connectivity means the machine never goes dark mid-mission — each layer hands over automatically to the next.
Low-latency line-of-sight telemetry and video for local control.
When the 2.4 GHz link drops, 5G keeps you connected over the cellular network.
When both 2.4 GHz and NR 5G drop, Starlink keeps you connected from anywhere.
Also available as Cube 5G SL — with integrated Starlink for total link redundancy.
How it connects
Cube 5G ties the flight controller, 5G modem, SIM, motors and gimbal camera into a single connected mission platform — with automatic handover managed by DroneAI Cloud Control Solution.

Why DroneAI
The kit mounts beside the autopilot on one cable. Nothing is removed and nothing is retrained: the pilot keeps the radio, and the commander gets AI alerts and live video over 5G.
Proven in the field
Edge AI detection of persons and vehicles with geo-tagged alerts to the command post; every sortie saved and searchable.
Drones and dumper trucks on one private 5G network and one dashboard — aerial video, LiDAR and truck telemetry together.
Live 5G flights and AI demos for forces, telecom operators and industry. See the events
Questions buyers ask
Command round trip is 100–300 ms and video glass-to-glass is 200–500 ms. After a drop the link is back in under 5 seconds.
2–5 km, across 50–100 sorties flown on 5G.
The link falls back to 4G, a second modem on a second operator covers gaps (Telem5G Duo), and the RC radio stays as backup. Below ~100 m, where most security drones fly, existing 4G/5G networks give good coverage — or use private 5G.
Drones accept no inbound connections: they only connect out, over an encrypted, authenticated tunnel to DroneAI C2.
No. The 2.4 GHz RC link stays with the pilot as an independent backup; 5G is added alongside it.
