Drone technology is moving extremely fast, providing different kind of services to many industries; as a result the numbers of drones for most commercial applications like agriculture spraying and seeding, mining, delivery or media was near 250,000 in 2017 and it is estimated to reach 1.5 Mill units by 2022. Nowadays, most of drone applications require flying BVLOS but current regulations limit the use of drones to VLOS (visual line of sight) or BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) only for light drones. The state authorities, are willing to permit flights BVLOS if the pilot can prove safe operation, taking into account that 64% of the incidents between 2006 and 2016 were due to communication problems, our objective has been the creation of a satellite based communication device specially designed to improve these problems in communication links.

The use of drone technology in commercial applications such as crop fertilisation, mining and journalism is witnessing a rise. Studies forecast that unit shipments will increase from 250 000 in 2017 to 1.5 million in 2022. Current regulations restrict drone flight to visual line of sight (VLOS). Flights performed out of visual range are only allowed for lightweight drones.
