Control drones/UAV from anywhere using 4g LTE network
Request Puffin KitGive your drone 4G connectivity while keeping your existing point-to-point control system.Extend your operational range beyond traditional radio limits by leveraging cellular networks, while maintaining the stability and familiarity of your current control setup
Our system uses low-latency peer-to-peer transmission to deliver near real-time control and video streaming. Latency can be extremely low for responsive operation. No relay server is required, enabling a direct and efficient connection between the drone and the ground station.
Compatible with PX4 and Ardupilot flight stacks and flight controllers. Designed for seamless integration into your existing drone or UAV project, allowing developers to quickly add new capabilities while keeping their current system architecture.
Puffin UAV started as a Kickstarter project, where we successfully launched our first campaign and brought the original Puffin hardware to early users. Today, Puffin UAV continues that journey as a professional cellular connectivity solution for drones, rovers, and remote-control applications.

Puffin enables real-time UAV teleoperation over cellular networks.It integrates WebRTC video streaming with MAVLink control channels,allowing low-latency remote control from anywhere.
Puffin works alongside existing point-to-point radio control systems, adding 4G connectivity without replacing the original control link. This allows drones to keep their traditional RC communication while extending capabilities through cellular networks.
The system is easy to integrate into UAV platforms based on PX4 or Ardupilot, enabling long-distance control, telemetry, and video transmission with minimal changes to the existing drone architecture.
WebRTC streaming optimized for cellular networks
Direct communication with PX4 and ArduPilot flight controllers
Works behind carrier NAT without complex VPN configuration
Operate UAVs directly from a web browser
