Zaruba Promin Aerial Repeater Drones for Secure Communication & Signal Extension description
“Zaruba Promin” is a line of aerial repeater drones and modular repeater systems that create a stable intermediate communication node between FPV drones and ground control stations. The platform ascends to a designated altitude, receives video and telemetry signals from the drone, and retransmits them from an advantageous position, extending the range of reliable control and data transmission. The “Zaruba Promin” systems are designed to operate in environments without GPS/GNSS, in the presence of terrain obstacles, dense structures, or active electronic interference. Optical stabilization allows carrier drones to maintain altitude, heading, and position autonomously, reducing the operator’s workload and increasing mission reliability. The modular architecture of the repeaters allows the system to be integrated with most carrier drones or to use specialized “Zaruba Promin 13” and “Zaruba Promin 10” platforms.

Technical characteristics of Zaruba Promin aerial repeater
The video and telemetry communication range of up to 9 miles for aerial relays extends the system’s effective operational radius, allowing large areas to be covered without the need for frequent redeployment or operator movement.
Airborne autonomy of up to 55–60 minutes for the carrier drone and up to 30 minutes for integrated solutions provides prolonged support of a stable communication link without the need for frequent servicing or battery replacement.
The bodies of the aerial modules are made of impact- and heat-resistant polymer materials, providing mechanical protection for internal components during transport and operation.
High-gain antennas create an optimal signal radiation pattern, enhancing the stability of reception and transmission in environments with varying terrain, structures, and radio frequency interference.
The production and technical support of the “Zaruba Promin” aerial repeater are provided by Zaruba Tech.
FAQ
The Zaruba Promin aerial repeater acts as an intermediate communication node at altitude, receiving video and telemetry signals from the drone on 5.8 GHz and relaying them to the ground station on 1.2 / 1.3 GHz frequencies. By elevating the transmission point above obstacles, the system ensures stable communication and extends the operational range up to 15 km.
The Zaruba Promin systems operate at altitude, allowing them to avoid the effects of terrain, buildings, and obstacles. This provides a more stable channel for video and control transmission compared to ground-based communication nodes, especially in challenging environments.
The aerial repeater continuously receives the video signal and forwards it through an optimized channel. The use of sensitive receivers increases stability with weak signals and reduces the risk of video loss during flight.
A repeater provides a stable channel between the operator and the UAV even without direct line of sight. This enables missions to be carried out over long distances while maintaining control and real-time data transmission.
The Zaruba Promin 13 and Zaruba Promin 10 drone carriers can hold position without GPS/GNSS thanks to optical stabilization. This allows the repeater to remain at a stable point and maintain an uninterrupted communication channel even under dynamic conditions.
Relaying the signal through a dedicated aerial node reduces loss and interruptions, ensuring a stable video feed and rapid response to control commands. This is critical for FPV drones when performing precise tasks.
The system establishes a stable communication channel between the ground station and multiple UAVs, allowing effective flight control and video transmission even over long distances. This enhances coordination during mission execution.
Promin systems are designed to operate in challenging conditions, and using an elevated relay point helps minimize the impact of environmental factors.
The Zaruba Promin lineup includes separate modules and carrier drones that can be combined. For example, the Zaruba Ground Station P repeater is mounted on the Zaruba Promin 13 drone using a quick-mount GX16 connection, providing flexibility in deployment and operation.
The Zaruba Promin systems extend the control range, ensure stable video communication, and operate without GPS/GNSS. This makes them a key component of modern FPV operations and missions that require reliable signal transmission over long distances.
