🌍 Tethered Drone Stations

Company Overview

Elistair does not build standard free-flying drones; they are the global pioneers of tethered drone systems. By replacing heavy on-board batteries with a micro-tether connected to a ground power station, Elistair allows standard drones to fly continuously for days at a time. This technology provides permanent ‘eye-in-the-sky’ surveillance and communications relays for massive events and military borders.

Core Technologies

⚡
Continuous Ground Power
Elistair’s patented micro-tethers transmit high-voltage power from a ground generator directly up to the drone, bypassing battery limits and enabling 24/7 continuous flight operations.
🔒
Unjammable Data Transfer
The tether isn’t just for power; it contains fiber optics that transmit the drone’s video and telemetry data directly to the ground station, making it completely immune to RF jamming and hacking.
🧵
Automated Tension Control
The smart ground station features an automated winch that perfectly manages the tension of the Kevlar-reinforced tether in real-time, preventing tangles as the drone maneuvers in high winds.

Featured Solutions
