Product Description
The 1160-1280MHz band is a favourite among long-range FPV pilots and UAV operators for its excellent penetration through foliage, buildings, and terrain—far better than 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz. This 10W signal booster amplifies both directions of the link, delivering 40dBm (10W) output with 20dB TX gain and 18dB RX gain. It runs on a flexible 12-24V DC supply, uses SMA female connectors, and comes in a compact 118 × 59 × 17 mm aluminum enclosure weighing just 0.2 kg. Whether you're flying low behind obstacles or pushing the limits of BVLOS range, this booster keeps your video and control links solid.
Typical Applications
- Long-Range FPV Video: Extend 1.2GHz video downlink beyond standard VTX limits
- UAV Telemetry & Control: Boost bidirectional command and data links for drones
- Public Safety & Surveillance: Reliable two-way UHF links for critical operations
- Industrial & Agricultural UAVs: Maintain stable links over large fields and remote sites
- Amateur Radio (23cm Band): High-power amplification for licensed 1.2GHz experiments
- Search & Rescue: Keep video and telemetry alive in challenging terrain

Key Advantages
The 1.2GHz band is prized for its ability to punch through obstacles that stop higher frequencies cold. With 10W (40dBm) of output and 20dB TX gain, this booster dramatically extends the reach of your video transmitter or telemetry radio. The 18dB RX gain on the receive path means weak return signals are pulled in cleanly, so you're not just transmitting farther—you're hearing back reliably too.
Running on 12-24V DC, it works with 3S-6S LiPo batteries, vehicle power, or solar-charged battery banks. The 5.5 × 2.1 mm power jack and SMA female connectors make it easy to drop into existing ground stations or drone setups. The aluminum housing provides passive cooling and shrugs off vibration, making it suitable for mobile and field deployments.
Tuned for 1160-1280MHz, it covers the popular 1.2GHz FPV channels as well as adjacent telemetry and amateur allocations. If you've been struggling with video breakup at range or losing telemetry behind trees, this booster is a straightforward way to add serious link margin without changing your entire RF chain.
