TLDR

  • 900MHz antenna -> M900 router (Rocket)
  • 2.4 GHz antenna -> M2 router (Rocket)
  • 5 GHz antenna -> M5 router (Rocket)

System Summary

There are six total small rover-side antennas, divided into three types: 900 MHz, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Each type of antenna connects to a particular router: M900, M2 and M5 respectively. The two 900 megahertz Bluebeam antennas (the blue spiral ones) connect to the Rocket M900 router. The two 2.4 gigahertz antennas are Hyperlink HGV-2406Us, they're the longer ones. They connect to the Rocket M2 router. The two 5 gigahertz antenna are Hyperlink HGV-2406Us, they're the longer ones. They connect to the Rocket M5 router. Each router is connected through ethernet to the switch (the Ubiquiti edge router). The switch is located to the electrical box and connected to power.

System Summary

Overall, there will be a base station situated with the human controllers, and a smaller RF module on the rover that we will communicate with. This will consist of both 900MHz and 2.4GHz systems.
