Our Team

Who we are:

We are bunch of Professional from different aspect of

Engineering world, motivated and gathered together to

produce and design something meaningful and futuristic.

What We do

So, What's the Problems ??Fundamentally, there is no problem

BUTIt all begins with maximum supported range

and SECURITY

Radio Control

we found the problem

Troubleshooting

The Radio Control (RC) is found the be the source of the problem and we

had to do something about it .

So, we start Coding and Coding and……….. Finally we made our

controller but again we needed something POWERFULL to send our signal

and we found the Solution

MIKROTIK IS

THE SOLUTION

Why MikroTik?

We can solve a problem in multiple different

ways but in other vendors there is just one

way and that is the Vendors Way

Reliable

Affordable

More Control (White Box)

API

Networking is becoming EASY with MikroTik

Selecting the Right Product

We needed a Routerboard to be able to

do following things:

Wireless Support (able to add more card)

Wireless Power output

Not heavy ( every gram count)

Durable in Harsh Environment

Choosing the right Product

We needed something powerful and at the

same time high durable against harsh

environmental conditions and also NOT HEAVY

BaseBox 2

Swarming

Swarming was hard before We have been facing a lot of difficulties to implement

this feature because of the following reasons:

1. Integrity of the system was hard to setup and needed

a lot of engineering and coding

2. Protocol was some how proprietary( Not affordable

hardware )

Swarming is possible with

Mesh network

Mesh Network have some advantage

such as : Roaming, better coverage

and alternative links and etc.…

Since it is a Topology, it is possible to

make full bidirectional connectivity

between the nodes

HWMPlus

It is proprietary of MikroTik.

Better than RSTP (loop free routing)

It is applicable to not only WDS interface,

we can bring in the Ethernet interfaces as

well

HWMPlus (Reactive Routing)

Like Ad-hoc on demand Distant Vector

and all path are discovered, by flooding

path request(PREQ) message it is best to

use for mobile network

Advantage: Low Routing overhead

Disadvantage: Extra latency for route Discovery

HWMPlus (Proactive Routing) It is portal: basically the router has interfaces

to other network as well simultaneously.

Routes to portals will serve as a kind of default

route. If an internal router does not know path

to a particular destination, it will forward all

data to its closest portal.

Advantage: Low Latency

Disadvantage : high overhead High overhead to

maintain routing information, mainly when the topology

changes very consistently

Ok, What about the 2nd Problem? The Radio Control it self is not transferring the

flight control data in secure manner, therefore it is

susceptible to be hacked and may someone else

taking control of your drone to use it for malicious

purposes. So, before implementing encryption on

our data we had to find a way to secure our

signal and that was not possible without the help

of Management Frame Protection of Mikrotik.

Management Frame Protection Management frame protection means that RouterOS wireless device is

able to verify source of management frame and confirm that particular

frame is not malicious. This feature allows to withstand deauthentication

and disassociation attacks on RouterOS based wireless devices.

Allowed

Disabled

Required

It was just the beginning We give farmers the ability to talk to each

other by implementing VOIP with help of

Mikrotik Meta-Router

And we even try to implement IP-Sec (ESP)

protocol to encrypt some of our important

information in transit in some scenarios.

Beyond the Scope of this

Presentation

Made For Mikrotik We are planning to produce our own radio controlled

devices and it is almost in its early stage of

development. But, we are doing our best to release the

1st version by Feb 2018
