ACSL, Inc (ACSL), the main Japanese drone maker, is happy to announce the discharge of its new sensible controller, TENSO, in addition to important upgrades to its flagship SOTEN drone and future platform enhancements.
The TENSO sensible controller was designed to make flight ops simpler and extra environment friendly when utilizing SOTEN out within the discipline. Just like the usual SOTEN controller, TENSO makes use of an AES256 encryption communication protocol between it and the drone, the identical protocol utilized by the US authorities for categorised info. This makes TENSO supreme for extra delicate drone operations. TENSO was designed for working in difficult climates and situations. Its strong and sturdy development has a really helpful working temperature vary from 14°F to 104°F and is mud and splash resistant with an IP43-rating. Weighing in at 2.3lbs and with 3 hours of battery life, TENSO is each extremely transportable and useful.
“We all know that having a devoted sensible controller makes a big distinction within the ease of use, effectivity, and efficiency when working within the discipline,” mentioned Cynthia Huang, CEO of ACSL, Inc. “TENSO is a welcome addition to our lineup as we increase the SOTEN footprint in North America, bringing on extra prospects searching for a strong ecosystem that matches their wants.”
Usability was prioritized when designing TENSO and the consumer interface is clear, easy, and straightforward to grasp. The 5” show presents a 1080p decision and as much as 1000 nits of brightness, supreme for a variety of situations together with direct daylight. The utmost 2.5 mile working vary1, mixed with 2.4 GHz working frequency and WiFi and LTE compatibility, permits for prolonged and dependable connectivity. Any mixture of as much as three commonplace and sensible controllers will be concurrently linked to a SOTEN throughout stay operations.
TENSO shall be accessible for buy in September for the value of $2800 USD and as a part of choose SOTEN operation prepared bundles. To search out a certified supplier go to ACSL’s supplier locator web page.
1 All the time comply with native legal guidelines and rules when working a drone.
Since SOTEN models entered the US market earlier this yr, ACSL has spent intensive day out within the discipline with strategic companions and early adopters together with massive utilities like Ameren and New York Energy Authority in addition to main nation-wide drone service suppliers like Firmatek. ACSL has aggressively targeted R&D efforts to include US market suggestions leading to a number of iterations of updates to SOTEN.
Key upgrades embrace
Lowered Video Latency:
Actual-time video latency has been lowered 25%, bettering the viewing expertise for operators.
Customizable Gimbal Management:
New modes and tunable parameters permit pilots to customise gimbal motion in accordance with their enter preferences. Moreover, gimbal velocity now adjusts mechanically based mostly on zoom stage for extra exact management.
Direct Publicity Management:
Offers pilots, particularly these flying inspection missions, the flexibility to shortly alter picture publicity to disclose particulars of objects which can be hidden in shadows or obscured by a brilliant background.
Common Compatibility:
Upgraded the usual controller’s electronics to help a wider vary of Android units.
US Distant ID Compliance:
The SOTEN drone’s firmware is now absolutely compliant with US distant ID rules, as accepted by the FAA.
Wanting on the roadmap forward, ACSL’s International CTO Dr. Chris Raabe says “ACSL is dedicated to steady enchancment and innovation. We’ve a humble and devoted R&D workforce that earnestly considers every bit of suggestions and enthusiastically strives to supply a greater product.”
