T40 Versatile Powerful Handheld Ground Control Station Compatible with Pixhawk, Autopilot

T40 is a fully integrated professional ground control station built around an Intel-based PC and 3-in-1 video&telemetry&RC link. It comes with dual ultra HD displays that are sunlight readable.

With dual screens, it is a highly integrated system and has functions such as video transmission, data transmission, remote control, video display, and industrial-grade computer.

The remote control system has 4 joysticks for use, it also supports traditional RC access. A key feature of T40 is the Remote Control Configuration Interface, allowing users to assign 27 physical channels to joysticks, switches, and buttons.

With a built-in 16.8V Li-ion battery, it can provide up to 3.5Hs of operation time. External battery can also be used for power supply to extend operation time. It provides great convenience to customers as it can be used anytime, anywhere. Almost any unmanned aircraft and most open-source autopilot systems can be interfaced with the system.

Its high reliability and powerful capabilities make it well suited for applications such as defense, law enforcement, surveillance, mapping, and surveying.

Chinowing has a label as the leading developer of the portable and handheld ground control system in China. Yes, indeed! We love this label.

In an earlier time, the Chinowing team was in the development of UAVs. Each time, the team went out for the flight test and demo, a bulky ground control station was needed to carry, or a 3rd party video&data link with all kinds of wires, remote controller and the computer. Long deployment time, easy failure. If there is a portable all-in-one system that can do command&control, check the real-time video and be free of all kinds of connection wire, that would be too fine.

At that time, there was rarely any handheld GCS used, not any developers in our market. Chinowing CTO, Mr Hu Yanbin, with over 8 years experience in control system development and 5 years experience in the unmanned domain, began the adventure in 2015 to develop handheld GCS, all-in-one video&data&RC link with the brand Chinowing and have realized the high integration. Since the foundation, we have set out to develop high-performance products which are easy to use and integrate, with high criteria to meet the professional standards.

Until now, the Chinowing team has developed eight generations of portable GCS to cater to different application scenarios. The domestic origination dual SBUS output with each channel programmable enables remote control of the drone and the payload together, the user can self-define each channel. With the feature of being user-friendly, our devices have been widely used as remote control devices for UAV, UGV, robots, etc in defence, industrial applications.

Being a customer-obsessed business, we will and continue to invest heavily in R&D and be preoccupied with the wants and needs of customers.
