Wifibroadcast NG
A next-generation long-range packet radio link using raw WiFi radio for low-latency data transmission, optimized for drone telemetry and video.
What is Wifibroadcast NG?
WFB-NG is an open-source long-range packet radio link system that uses raw WiFi radios in monitor mode to transmit data with minimal latency. It is specifically designed for applications requiring reliable, real-time wireless communication, such as drone FPV video streaming and MAVLink telemetry. The system maps UDP packets directly to WiFi frames and employs smart forward error correction to maintain link integrity in challenging RF environments.
Drone enthusiasts, FPV pilots, and developers building long-range wireless communication systems for UAVs, robotics, or remote telemetry applications. It is also suitable for hobbyists and researchers working with raw WiFi packet injection and low-latency data links.
Developers choose WFB-NG for its exceptionally low latency, achieved by avoiding byte-stream serialization and using direct packet mapping. Its support for distributed operation, dynamic FEC, and hardware acceleration provides a flexible, high-performance alternative to traditional WiFi bridging, especially in lossy or long-range scenarios.
