T900-MINI T01/T02 UAV Data Transmission Radio - Technical Overview
The T900-MINI Series is a high-performance, miniaturized UAV data link system designed for long-distance telemetry and control. With advanced FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum), AES-256 encryption, and a compact 42g metal shell, the T01 and T02 modules are ideal for professional UAV operations requiring up to 60km range.
Model Differences: T01 vs T02
- T900-MINI-T01: Designed for aerial platforms with XT30 power input (7–26V) and TTL/RS-232 serial interface.
- T900-MINI-T02: Tailored for ground stations with USB-C interface for power and data, plus an additional power-only port.

Integration Examples
UAV Side (T01): Connect via XT30 to flight battery, use GH1.25-4PIN serial to flight controller.
Ground Station (T02): Connect via USB-C to computer or GCS. No driver required for most modern systems.
Why Choose T900-MINI?
The T900-MINI series provides secure, long-range, and compact UAV telemetry solutions with proven field performance up to 60km. Whether for survey, inspection, or mission-critical C2, it's a robust and integration-friendly choice for professionals.
Comparison with Full-Size T900 Modules
Full-size 10W T900 modules offer up to 200km range, but come with added size and complexity. The T900-MINI is ideal for small to medium UAVs with standard telemetry needs.
Ideal Scenarios:
- Compact UAV platforms
- Surveying drones under 25kg
- Ground stations needing portable solutions
- Encrypted telemetry applications
FAQ
Can I use it with Pixhawk?
Yes, the T900-MINI-T01 supports TTL/RS232 for direct connection to Pixhawk, ArduPilot, and PX4 flight controllers.
