LongLink Solutions

The communications backbone for long-range drones

San FranciscoDeep techBuilding

PITCHED AT THE SAN FRANCISCO NIGHT ON 5 AUGUST 2026

An autonomous drone is only as useful as its link back, and video, control and data all degrade at exactly the range that makes the mission worth flying. LongLink builds the communications layer that holds at distance.

Drone autonomy gets the attention and drone connectivity decides what is actually possible. Long-range video and control are a physics and engineering problem that most airframe companies would rather buy than solve.

LongLink has taken the harder route of validating with operators in the field, including in Ukraine, where the requirements are set by conditions rather than a specification document. Shipping across six countries is the sign that the product survives contact with real operators.
