How SkyRelay works
Follow the data from the aircraft to every system that needs it—over one independent, bidirectional connection.
Follow the data
A flight produces one live stream. SkyRelay carries it beyond radio range, preserves it, and makes it useful everywhere.

SkyRelay · connectivity layer
LTE · bidirectional
Conduit · onboard
MAVLink telemetry, position, status, and commands originate on the aircraft.
The onboard link streams over the strongest available LTE network.
The platform routes live data, returns commands, and preserves an independent flight record.
Ground control, operations, APIs, exports, and AI tools use the same trusted source.

What is SkyRelay?
See how the onboard connection, cloud platform, and tools you already use work as one system.
Conduit connects the drone
Mount on any airframe. Once powered, the Conduit selects the strongest available LTE carrier automatically — AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon in the US, 550+ networks across 190 countries. No configuration. No line-of-sight required. No range limit.
SkyRelay receives everything
The moment your drone powers on, SkyRelay is listening — forwarding telemetry in real time, storing flight records server-side, and routing commands back to the aircraft. Your operational data is securely hosted and stored in the United States.
Your systems access it
Any system in your operation — GCS, ops platform, AI agent, or compliance tool — connects through standard protocols. No proprietary SDK, no vendor lock-in. If it speaks HTTP, MQTT, or MAVLink, it works with SkyRelay.
Integration protocols

Compatible vehicles
MAVLink is vehicle-agnostic — so SkyRelay isn't only for drones.
