FYI Did you know that with a Technician Class amatuer radio license (easy 35 question test) you can play around in the 2.4Ghz (13cm) band with up to 1500 watts of power? From a cliff top with a Yagi, you could drive that boat right off the edge of the world.

Hey Tony, thanks for this interesting video. I would be interested in the final maximum range you reached until you lost connection.

Hi! With a YAGI directional antenna, I was able to maintain good communications to 1km, with some packets getting through as far away as 1.2km. With a lower gain, flat-panel antenna I was keeping good communications to ~600m, with some packets getting through as far away as 800m. WiFi is a great option for high bandwidth, short range usage of the BlueBoat - I primarily use 4G connection for vehicle control and WiFi for Sonar control / monitoring.

Cool, 1.2 km is more than I expected as the weather conditions were rough and the waves will probably shield some of the signal. I can’t wait for my own Blueboat. What kind of LTE modem are you using? I had in mind to use the CAT6 LTE HAT for the raspberry with a external marine antenna.

@@Yannik123-f5k The Pi has the GPIO already occupied by the Navigator, so using such a hat is not possible. Blue Robotics is developing an upgrade kit, it will likely use a USB, search Amazon for "EXVIST 4G LTE Dongle W/ EC25-AF Mini PCIe Modem W/SIM Card Slot" Configuration is easy, just need to set the APN via serial command - which will one day be possible via BlueOS GUI!
