Drones are now used across a wide range of environments, from underground sewer systems to high-risk areas in industrial refineries. For many operators, protecting the data they collect is a top priority. Whether it's safeguarding intellectual property or ensuring national security, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the data gathered during flights is essential.
Transparency about how we secure your data is important to us, and that’s why we want to provide you with a clear overview of the security measures we have implemented.
**IT Security Is Embedded in Our Drones**
Since the launch of our first product, the Elios 1, we've worked with organizations handling some of the most sensitive and critical infrastructure, including nuclear facilities in the U.S. More than half of the country’s nuclear plants use our technology to minimize human exposure to hazardous environments. We also collaborate with major industrial groups where data security is a top concern. Because of this, we’ve built robust IT security into the very core of our drones.
**Designed for Signal-Deprived Environments**
Our drones are engineered for indoor operations where external signals—like GPS or internet—are not available. This means the drone only communicates with the Ground Control System (GCS), making it inherently more secure. The absence of external connections ensures that no data is transmitted over the air, reducing the risk of interception or unauthorized access.
**Secure Data Handling**
All data collected by the drone is stored on an SD card inside the device. Operators can also save a screen recording on the tablet as a backup. These are the only two places where data resides, and it is never stored online. After the flight, the SD card can be removed and transferred to a computer. Neither the drone nor the GCS needs to connect to anything else during operation. Updates can be done offline, and the tablet—our only device with potential internet access—can have its connectivity permanently disabled at the factory.
**External Components and Third-Party Integration**
The only non-proprietary components in our system are the camera and transmission system. Both the Elios 1 and Elios 2 use DJI Lightbridge 2 for communication. The GCS consists of a DJI controller and a Samsung tablet. While the Cockpit app uses DJI’s SDK for communication, this requires a one-time internet connection during production. After that, no further communication with DJI servers is needed.
**Fully Proprietary Systems**
From the drone’s design and firmware to the tablet app and desktop software, everything is developed in-house. There is no third-party interaction with our systems, ensuring that all data remains under the operator’s control.
**Securing the Link Between GCS and UAV**
The uplink from the GCS to the drone is encrypted, preventing unauthorized control. The downlink is not encrypted, but it requires pairing with the GCS before it can be accessed. This pairing process involves a mobile device running DJI Go, making it extremely difficult for an outsider to intercept without physical access and advanced technical knowledge.
**The Tablet: A Potential Weakness?**
While the tablet is the only device with internet access, it can be configured to block all connectivity. In this mode, updates must be done offline using APK files downloaded from our secure server. All updates are verified through checksums to ensure their integrity. If the tablet is connected to the internet, we recommend disabling it to prevent potential breaches.
**Offline Management and Updates**
Even without internet access, the entire system can be operated and updated. Firmware and apps can be installed via SD cards or local downloads, ensuring full control over the update process. No third parties are involved in distributing or compiling these updates.
**Best Practices for Data Security**
Operators should keep the drone and GCS secure at all times. This includes storing SD cards separately, locking hardware in transport boxes, and deleting data after it’s backed up. For public safety missions, flying without SD cards ensures all footage stays on the tablet, even if the drone is lost.
**What Data Does Flyability Collect?**
Flyability only collects data when the drone is armed and the tablet is connected to the internet. In such cases, we gather the unit ID (encrypted), flight time, and firmware version. Users can opt out of this data collection. Debugging logs can also be sent voluntarily, though it’s not required.
**Working Together for Safer Inspections**
We’re committed to helping our clients adopt and scale our technology. We work closely with IT teams to address any concerns. If you need assistance or more information, feel free to reach out.
1㎡ Ceramic Filter Plate
Ceramic Filter Plate is a kind of large porous ceramic disc which is fired by inorganic membrane making technology. It has following characteristics: large filter area, high intensity and even aperture. Besides, the aperture size can be adjusted according to actual demands. The basic material is alumina, it has good resistance to acid and alkali. After a period of application, the Ceramic Filter board can be cleaned by cycle reverse cleaning, ultrasonic and chemical cleaning agent and so on, to let the boards work with high efficiency.
With our independently developed one-module pouring technology and the new membrane surface, our products have much better performance and longer service life. These core technologies are our solely owned intelligence properties and patents. Established in 2003, Rongxin has 19 years' experience in ceramic filters and plates. We can manufacture ceramic filters from the smallest RX-1 (filtration area 1㎡) to world`s largest RX-240 (240㎡).
We can produce ceramic filter plates of all models available in the market. We can also produce customized models. We can provide all integrated solutions for customers' material dewatering operations.
