DEFAULT PAYLOAD
The Sky Drone Mk1 is compatible with a variety of payloads. This includes the Yuneec E10TX, E10TvX, E30ZX and E90X. The Sky Drone Mk1 default camera is the Yuneec E90X.

HIGH SECURITY ENCRYPTION
The Sky Drone Mk1 is end-to-end encrypted using AES256 encryption - a FIPS 197 approved cryptographic algorithm. Communication between the drone and ground control station is secured with government-grade encryption including command & control commands, telemetry and video imagery data. As such Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) and Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP) both use AES256.

SIM CARD AND MOBILE CARRIER REQUIREMENTS
For the Sky Drone Mk1 to be able to communicate with the ground control station, the customer needs to obtain a data-enabled SIM card from his/her mobile network carrier. As stated above, the Sky Drone Mk1 supports a variety of 4G and 5G frequency bands, which are used across the world in all countries. Customers are still recommended to double-check with their mobile network carrier the frequency support in the areas Sky Drone Mk1 is planned to be deployed at.

In short: All the customer needs besides the Sky Drone Mk1, is a data-enabled SIM card.
