ACSL, Inc (ACSL), the main Japanese drone maker, is happy to announce the discharge of its new good controller, TENSO, in addition to important upgrades to its flagship SOTEN drone and future platform enhancements.
The TENSO good controller was designed to make flight ops simpler and extra environment friendly when utilizing SOTEN out within the area. Just like the usual SOTEN controller, TENSO makes use of an AES256 encryption communication protocol between it and the drone, the identical protocol utilized by the US authorities for categorized info. This makes TENSO best for extra delicate drone operations. TENSO was designed for working in difficult climates and situations. Its sturdy and sturdy development has a beneficial working temperature vary from 14°F to 104°F and is mud and splash resistant with an IP43-rating. Weighing in at 2.3lbs and with 3 hours of battery life, TENSO is each extremely transportable and useful.
“We all know that having a devoted good controller makes a major distinction within the ease of use, effectivity, and efficiency when working within the area,” stated Cynthia Huang, CEO of ACSL, Inc. “TENSO is a welcome addition to our lineup as we increase the SOTEN footprint in North America, bringing on extra clients searching for a strong ecosystem that matches their wants.”
Usability was prioritized when designing TENSO and the consumer interface is clear, easy, and straightforward to know. The 5” show affords a 1080p decision and as much as 1000 nits of brightness, best for a variety of situations together with direct daylight. The utmost 2.5 mile working vary1, mixed with 2.4 GHz working frequency and WiFi and LTE compatibility, permits for prolonged and dependable connectivity. Any mixture of as much as three normal and good controllers will be concurrently linked to a SOTEN throughout dwell operations.
TENSO will probably be accessible for buy in September for the worth of $2800 USD and as a part of choose SOTEN operation prepared bundles. To search out a certified supplier go to ACSL’s supplier locator web page.
1 All the time observe native legal guidelines and rules when working a drone.
Since SOTEN models entered the US market earlier this yr, ACSL has spent in depth day trip within the area with strategic companions and early adopters together with giant utilities like Ameren and New York Energy Authority in addition to main nation-wide drone service suppliers like Firmatek. ACSL has aggressively centered R&D efforts to include US market suggestions leading to a number of iterations of updates to SOTEN.
Key upgrades embrace
Decreased Video Latency:
Actual-time video latency has been diminished 25%, enhancing the viewing expertise for operators.
Customizable Gimbal Management:
New modes and tunable parameters permit pilots to customise gimbal motion in line with their enter preferences. Moreover, gimbal velocity now adjusts routinely based mostly on zoom degree for extra exact management.
Direct Publicity Management:
Offers pilots, particularly these flying inspection missions, the power to rapidly alter picture publicity to disclose particulars of objects which might be hidden in shadows or obscured by a shiny background.
Common Compatibility:
Upgraded the usual controller’s electronics to help a wider vary of Android gadgets.
US Distant ID Compliance:
The SOTEN drone’s firmware is now totally compliant with US distant ID rules, as accepted by the FAA.
Wanting on the roadmap forward, ACSL’s International CTO Dr. Chris Raabe says “ACSL is dedicated to steady enchancment and innovation. We have now a humble and devoted R&D crew that earnestly considers every bit of suggestions and enthusiastically strives to offer a greater product.”
Upcoming enhancements embrace
- Increasing line up of swappable payloads
- Further countermeasures towards digicam vibration
- A dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz) radio hyperlink for improved robustness in noisy environments.
- Computerized continuation of mapping missions following a battery swap.
- Functionality to observe and management the plane by way of LTE mobile community.
- RTK module add-on for centimeter-level positional accuracy
- Additional real-time video latency discount
