TFSIK01 Telemetry Modem

The TFSIK01 is a high-performance open-source telemetry modem developed by ThunderFly. It is designed to provide robust wireless communication between UAVs and ground stations. Featuring dual antenna diversity, strong interference immunity, and compatibility with MAVLink framing, it is an ideal choice for demanding UAV and robotics applications.

The modem is plug-and-play with flight controllers using a JST-GH UART interface and is available pre-configured for the 433, 868, and 915 MHz bands, (other non-standard frequencies available on request).
