Radio frequency

30 Jul 2019

I have a moving vehicle which I need to communicate with.

Radio frequency has its limits with distance.

My question is if I take an aerostat ballon to 400m high

Place a antenna attached to a tracker To always send the waves to the vehicle.

Will that work?

Also how do I tranmit to the aerostat antenna from the ground control 400m down ?

Any ideas?

You could use something like LoRa to relay GPS location and send directions, but you would need to find some other way of sending video. As Shabaz suggested an LTE cellular link is about the only solution you could implement for a 100 km video link without enormous cost, complexity and licensing issues. If LTE is not always available you could use LoRa for the other data - you would still need a tall antenna (line of sight) for LoRa but at least if the video fails you can still have the ability to see location and send directions.
