drone control via 3g cellular connection

[David Janssens]

We recently developed a controller to pilot drones/cars/boarts/etc via 3G cellular connection, in order to achieve "unlimited" control range.
The code and schematics are all open source and available here: nfco/cellpilot · GitHub

We are currently testing it using hand-soldered PCBs and 3d-printed cases.
We also just started a campaign to fund the first production run:
CellPilot | Indiegogo

Any feedback would be appreciated to guide the development of the project.

I apologize the IGG link was broken, the proper link is CellPilot | Indiegogo

Here is a video of a 64kbps flight test this morning:

Anyone else here trying to do FPV via cellular?

Do you have an actual long range flight documented and do you have video of that? Thanks
