Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of a network system for UAV for multiple clients that enables long-range operation based on a commercial mobile network. A prototype data modem is developed with a commercial embedded M2M module in order to provide an access to the mobile network. A central server with a database is constructed to record all of real-time flight and video data and communicate with a ground control system. A GCS is developed for the central control, the single UAV and the smart phone version to be used for different purposes. Performance tests were progressed for data delay, video frame rate and state of clients. Flight tests were also performed to verify the reliability of the modem with respect to altitude.
