Drones operating at a frequency of 5.8 GHz

5.8 GHz

— in general terms, this standard can be described as the development of 2.4 GHz (see the relevant paragraph) to a professional level. It also uses channelization, while featuring high bandwidth (which is important for high-definition video transmission) and a significant communication range, measured in hundreds of metres. The downside of such opportunities is the complexity, high cost, heavy weight and high power consumption of transmitters. Therefore, 5.8 GHz is found mainly among heavy professional quadcopters.
